BATHROOM BLISS

I have been behind on my blogging, we have had several furniture pieces to design and produce and several design projects. So here's the deal, client confidentiality, people hate to have their houses posted online and we totally respect that. For pictures of most of our projects booking a one-on-one seems to be the only way out for now. I will be posting some pics from our own design studio soon. 

Enough with that already, bathroom design. We always forget the bathroom when designing our homes. We spend about 20 minutes a day in that little room. The bathroom is basically one of the few places where we can be totally alone, or not.Here's a few ways to add some zing to your little room. Photos courtesy of the good old www .

A fresh coat of paint! Bathrooms are supposed to feel peaceful, green is a calm, peaceful color. We love this shade of sage on this wall. Pair it up with understated accessories like a framed mirror in a cool color like this white. If you need extra storage you could do an expedit and fill it with wicker baskets, bathroom towels, paper towels, candles or even books and magazines.


If your bathroom is super-tiny, you might want to maximize on vertical space for storage. There is no better way than to use floating shelves. Floating shelves give you a clean, clutter-free, contemporary look. Use the shelves to store towels, your cologne collection, fancy bottles and any other decorative vases you might have for your bathroom.They can go anywhere on the wall ; above the toilet seat, above the wash basin, on the opposite wall...anywhere!



Bathroom monochrome! Paint a small room in one color, like the walls and ceiling in this bathroom and the flooring all in the same color.


 If you are a more traditional person, a good old under-the-sink vanity like this will save you lots of trouble. It keeps your bathroom items away from the human eye and still looks neat on the outside. You can do marble on the counter top and display a vase with fresh flowers....or not so fresh plastic imitations.


Personally, I would die to have this bathroom, I love everything contemporary. Small bathrooms can look great with a pedestal wash basin like in this black and white bathroom. The black Lucite glass table adds some mystery and unusual drama to the space.
 


We all dream of the bathroom above but this other cute girly bathroom is more real-life real-money situation. You don't have to rob a bank to make your bathroom look welcoming. A smaller budget can make you this ceiling to wall bathroom shelves. The shelves provide lots of storage space for both necessary bath items and decorative items.


How modern can a bathroom get while still maintaining it's functionality even creating space for a washing machine? We love the glass shelves and the glass shower cubicle. This is perfect use of space for a house with no separate laundry area.


This bathroom has zen written all over it. From the long wall mirror, to the bathtub, the glass shower cubicle and the tulip wash basin...how could I forget the huge candles? This is a tiny bathroom with big potential, also gets extra points for the spa-feel.
 

If you are remodeling your bathroom, a bright color of glass mosaic to the base of the tub will add some glitz to your bathroom. Mosaic tiles are locally available (well not locally because they import them but they have them in stores) in hundreds of colors. I was going to do mosaic wall tile in my kitchen but this looks lovely as well. 


You live in a rental apartment or house, landlord wont let you paint his or her walls? That is no excuse to live in a boring world with no color, add color to your space with a bright shower curtain, soap dispensers in popping colors, bright towels, bath mats yes even trash cans.


Or you can go rebellious with some wallpaper. There is no point in  doing something wrong halfway, if you are going to do something wrong (read tamper with your rental lease), do it right. We say the brighter the wallpaper the less the guilt. Don't you just love this bathroom, it is very romantic!
