Do you have an upcoming project in your home? We’ve collected a ton of inspiration for bathroom design features you’re bound to love! Whether you’re planning a major renovation, or just some simple upgrades, the following photos will get you in the mood to get started…

 

It’s All About the Lighting

Chandeliers, sconces and vanity lighting can make or break the design of a room. Bathrooms deserve a lighting *moment* to behold, so it’s time to go all out if it’s your primary bathroom. Lighting also needs to be functional, so consider the placement, bulbs and housing elements. Diffused or clear? Daylight or soft white? There are a number of details. From backlit mirrors, to sophisticated chandeliers, we’re kicking it off with some swoon-worthy bathrooms…

Statement Walls

The bathroom is the perfect place to create a design moment. Accent walls have been around for a number of years, but in recent years, the style has had some serious enhancements. A variety of materials, from smooth to dimensional characteristics, create a unique look that offers a one-of-a-kind vibe.

Vital Storage

We are suckers for style, but storage in bathrooms is so important to rounding out the beauty and function of a space. Luckily, there are numerous ways to add storage, in addition to linen closets. A vanity tower puts everything at eye level and within hands-reach…including hidden outlets for tooth brushes, hair dryers and chargers. Built-in wall storage can be a creative way to use the space without taking up floor space.

Vanity Enhancements

Choosing a bathroom vanity is one of the bigger decisions you’ll make when it comes to bathroom design features. The color, faucet, hardware and countertop all play into the overall look of the space. Would you like a vanity that floats–or rests on the floor? Open concept shelving–or closed door design? Finished in paint colors, or does wood fit the style you’re going for? The shape and finish of hardware can be fun to select, with bronze, brass and matte black topping the charts right now. Then, there’s the mirrors that are placed in coordination with the vanity. Will you go with the basic wall-sized frameless mirror? Or do you love the look of a framed mirror–and which shape?

Window Treatments for the Bathroom

Light is an important feature in the bathroom, but even more so? The privacy. Bathroom window treatments can be tricky to choose because you need both light and privacy. And then, there’s the question of which window coverings are best for spaces with humidity.

 

Plantation shutters allow directional control of light, while protecting privacy. And, they are rated very well for bathroom humidity–designed to withstand the heat and moisture. See more about Palm Beach Shutters.

Solar shades are an incredible way to diffuse the entering light. You can enjoy the view along with levels of daytime privacy. If you need more privacy, these shades can feature dual shades. Complete privacy in one position and solar shades in the other. Explore Solar Shades.

Roman shades have been a staple in bathrooms over the years. Beautiful fabrics, delicate details–they add to the privacy and light control, while enhancing the style. One of the newest designs is a roller shade that mimics the look of romans, but rolls up and out of the way when you want all the light and views. Find out more about Architectural Roller Shades.

One of the best ways to enjoy the light while creating privacy in the bathroom is top down bottom up. The light enters across the ceiling, illuminating the space, while the majority of the window is covered. As far as bathroom design features go, this one is a favorite!
