Turn Bathroom Into Bedroom
After a long day at work, there is nothing better for your body and mind than a long, relaxing bath. Just imagine how soothing can be a nice long soak in a hot tub, how relaxing the fragrance of bath salts and scented candles can be! And every time you open your eyes, you feel like you are watching the ocean view through window under the water line, even though you're still in your apartment downtown.
Like any other room, bathroom gives an excellent opportunity to be creative. It can be something much more than just toilet, sink and shower. You can choose original shapes of the furniture, interesting tilework or a wall mural that will add a drop of magic.
In this post, I will give you a couple of hacks that will help you to turn a highly functional bathroom into a comfortable, modern and luxurious living space.
Say "yes" to unconventional materials
A beautiful bathroom is not only about tiles and porcelain. Different materials and fabrics can completely change the mood of the room. Depending on the mood you'd like to achieve, wood will give you the effect of coziness and stone will make the room look elegant. You can also combine wood and metal or wood and glass for a clean and modern look.
If you don't like the cold glass, you can consider using transparent stickers with a glossy finish that imitate stained glass and allow the light to pass through. Thanks to that, you can decorate windows, glass cabinets and other flat and transparent surfaces. A good thing about this solution is that once you stick it on one surface, you can take it off and apply to other, whenever you want.
A great thing about bathrooms is that their walls can be enlivened with wall murals or posters. Modern materials are water resistant so they are suitable for all living spaces, including bathrooms. At the same time they create the atmosphere of coziness and make you feel like in a home spa.
Choose an original bathtub
Why would you stick to regular furniture if there are so many original and beautiful models out there? Forget about boring, standard shapes and materials. Choose marble, copper or natural stone.
Choosing a nickel, freestanding tub can totally change the look of a bathroom. Its metallic finish is a great counterpoint to the traditional tubs and at the same time it looks stunning!
If you don't like the metallic bathtubs, you can choose the version made of stone. Below, you can see Tyrrell & Laing's design that turns the room into an antique bath.
But even traditional materials can make a great difference if you decide to choose one of the original designs.
…but it's not only about the bathtub
Bathroom design is also about the sink. This element is very often overlooked, so don't make that mistake and don't waste the opportunity to use it as an element of the overall bathroom concept.
Here's how creative and beautiful a sink can be if you decide to choose a rustic version. The metal sink below is placed in a stunning, wood crafted countertop and its design is consistent with the wooden walls and cabinets.
If you're not convinced that wood is a good idea in a bathroom, you can choose something more traditional: stone.
Such extravagant design doesn't have to appeal to everyone, so you can choose something traditional and minimalistic.
Wood in the bathroom? Definitely!
Many people think that wood in the bathroom is not a good idea. They are afraid that the wood would warp or that the wooden elements won't last long. But the truth is that if you don't have a wooden ceiling, you shouldn't be afraid of wood.
Wooden furniture, even wooden floors are a good bathroom solution because the material is well impregnated, and water won't do any harm to it. Wood looks amazing in bathrooms as it brings a sense of natural warmth, it also softens the look of cold, ceramic finishes.
Wooden floors are a great solution for all of you fed up with tiles that are present everywhere, from the bathroom to the subway. That's why if you want your bathroom to look unique and cozy at the same time, wood is a natural choice.
Tiles don't have to be boring
If you still dream about tiles in your bathroom, the good news is that you don't have to stick to the boring patterns. Luckily, there are plenty of beautiful tile patterns that can change the most plain bathroom into an elegant, modern place.
A great thing about tiles is that they can also be used as a wall decor, and they can even be combined with wood. In such case it's good to stick to only one color as more would be too much.
If you want to enliven a traditional bathroom, you can consider having a mosaic on a bathroom wall or a shower wall. It's a perfect solution for those who want to install mosaics as accents for the eye-catching effect.
Don't forget about the wall art
Also, a bathroom wall doesn't have to be lifeless. You can make a great change by adding a couple of simple and yet lovely shelves. Not only does it help to save space, it also adds a touch of coziness.
A good way to brighten up a room and add some additional space is placing a mirror on the wall. The mirror gives an illusion of space as it allows you to see from one end of the room to the other.
If you choose a design that will fit the overall bathroom idea, you can be sure that the room will look stunning.
Another great design idea is to use wall murals in your bathroom. It's a quick and easy way of adding some space even in a small room. It's also a good solution for those who don't believe that wood will do fine in contact with water and are fed up with the ubiquitous tiles.
Wall murals are also fantastic for small bathrooms, which are difficult to design. If you choose a wall mural with a nice landscape, it will add additional space, making the bathroom appear much larger.
If you don't think that wall mural is a good idea, you can also think about furniture stickers. It's a good solution for those who'd like to enhance the mood of a bathroom, but don't want to make a great change in its design. A good thing about stickers is that you can relocate them as you wish, either stick in new places, or store on backing paper for occasional use.
