Lighting is a crucial element to consider when elevating your bathroom design as it helps create ambiance, a clean look, inviting atmosphere and will even save you money. When considering lighting concepts, focus on combining a clean aesthetic with functionality and energy efficiency. Explore sleek, contemporary lighting designs that incorporate smart technology - such as recessed lighting, or pendant lighting, combined with LEDs, dimmers and natural lighting. Both styles provide for beautiful ambience in the bathroom and when combined with natural lighting or smart technology, will be more eco-conscious and economical. Regardless of the level of upgrades being undertaken, evaluate your current lighting situation and consider how one, or a combination of lighting types, can achieve your desired effect.

Remember, Details, Details, Details!

Pay attention to the little details, they can make a huge impact! Details like fixtures and fittings have come a long way, evolving from practical, mundane and purely functional pieces to true works of art that upgrade any space significantly, especially the bathroom. Even if your redesign is on a minimal scale, upgrading fixtures and fittings such as showerheads, faucets, cabinet handles, mirrors and even the towel rack, will make a substantial difference in the overall look and feel of the bathroom. Choose durable materials that mesh with your style or chosen design, taking note not to skimp on costs here as you need to ensure a high-quality product that offers you both functionality and efficiency. Some popular materials used for bathroom fixtures and fittings include stainless steel, chrome, brushed nickel and brass, which are both aesthetically pleasing and handle moisture and wear and tear well.

Maximize on Storage Space

When redesigning your bathroom, be sure to make the most of the space you have, especially if your bathroom is on the smaller side, as an organized and clutter-free bathroom instantly looks bigger and feels more stylish! There are so many neat tricks to maximizing storage space in the bathroom, including taking advantage of underutilized wall space with floating shelves or stylish cabinetry, adding decorative baskets or bins that store essentials like toiletries and hair care products and incorporating eye-catching elements like towel racks, or even chic ladders to store your hand and bath towels. Keep items that are in use, like towels and robes, neatly hung behind the door, or in vertical storage units and store non-essential items up higher where they are out of sight.

Let your creativity soar in a place that is deserving of some special attention. Create a space that will serve its purpose while also bringing joy and tranquility to your daily routine.
