The various details and elements you put in your bathroom are supposed to make a cohesive whole – you can’t just mix and match everything willy-nilly and expect your bathroom to look beautiful and appealing. But when it comes to choosing various elements and details, what would work with your bathroom and make it look good? You need to choose elements that can complement your overall theme for your bathroom, of course. But there are elements which can complement any bathroom theme in general, and you can definitely transform your bathroom’s entire look and appeal with these. Would you like to find out? Here’s how.
Opt for monochrome
If a bold and bright bathroom is more your style, then, by all means, go for it with the use of colourful wallpaper and ornate accessories and fixtures. But if you want something that looks calmer and more peaceful, you can opt for monochrome. The monochromatic look is a big thing nowadays, so if you’re looking for bathroom furniture such as bathroom vanity units, for instance, go for one in a neutral, monochrome tone or hue such as natural wood. The natural wood look is truly relaxing and contributes to a more relaxing, soothing ambience, and you can pair it with other monochrome details in your shelving, your cabinets and cupboards, and the like.
Make it curved
Curved details can convey relaxation in any room, particularly in regard to your bathroom. In any room, for instance, if you have a wall that's curved, it can bring softness to the space and make it look more tranquil. If you're prepared to work a little bit for it, why not bring in a curved wall to your bathroom? Placing your bathtub in a kind of curved alcove can enhance its look and add a little more privacy to the space as well. The area will look more intimate and relaxing, and you can enjoy the comfort of your bath in this special built-in place that ‘hugs' the tub rather than it appearing to ‘float' in the middle of the bathroom.
Be creative in your lighting concept
Another way through which you can transform your bathroom’s look and appeal with just a few key elements is by being creative in your lighting concept. For the space above or near your bathtub, for example, you can choose a beautiful chandelier for a grand theme, but you can also select recessed lights or downlights for the corners. Natural light is, of course, always a good thing, and you can make your bathroom windows bigger while still having privacy by installing beautiful curtains or uniquely-designed shades. You can also opt for a skylight if you have the means and time to do it, and a skylight goes well with a stark, bright architectural style.
Bask in nature
Here’s one easy way to transform your bathroom space and add to its appeal: bring the outdoors in through plants. Plants are great at adding warmth to a bathroom, but they can also break up the room’s space. There are also some particular plants which can clean up the air in the room, so do your research on this and include them in your bathroom’s overall design and theme.
