16 Ideas To Design Your Dream Bathroom: Because You Deserve It

Ideas To Design Your Dream Bathroom.

We all deserve our dream bathroom because bathrooms are our sanctuary, an intimate space that often left is austere and unadorned.

More so or often Bathrooms are the space that just doesn’t vibe with the rest of the house and maybe that is why more and more people are getting their dream bathroom made.

I feel this intimate space should inspire and empower you; make you feel ready to take on the day but also a place that should allow you to end your day with a relaxing atmosphere.

Remodeling your bathroom not only increases the quality of your life but also the valuation of your house.

The process of Renovating a bathroom is just as much fun as it is overwhelming. I think any home improvement task is quite time-consuming.

But it is time that you start creating a bathroom that matches your expectations.

A. The Basics

Here are a few basics of designing a bathroom that you need to know!

1.     Budget is Everything!

You must have a budget or at least an idea of how you are willing to spend on your dream bathroom.

The cost can easily go up once you start, so it is better to budget now than be disappointed later.

Here are a few questions you should ask yourself and anyone else who is going to share the space.

  • What is your routine? The layout of the bathroom will be determined by that.
  • Do you need complete remodeling or just a few upgrades? Or you want to keep a few elements from your existing bathroom and give it a mix with new ones.

It will also help you understand what parts of your current bathroom you don’t like and what you do.

  • What are your storage needs? Are they currently being met or do you need to add more? You must make this decision now as it will be harder and more expensive to add later.

And lastly, make sure you set aside 20% of your budget for unplanned and surprise expenses that are bound to happen when you are remodeling.

But no matter the budget or size, you can still have your dream bathroom with functional design and great decor.

2.    Types Of Bathrooms:

  • A standard Bathroom is a full-size bathroom that contains a toilet, sink, bath or shower or both.
  • Half Bathroom or powder room is a small bathroom that only has a sink and a toilet.
  • Wet Bathroom, it is a full bathroom that has no separate cubicle or a curtain around the bath/shower. From walls to cabinets, everything is completely waterproofed.

A bathroom comes in various types, so keep in mind what kind of bathroom you want.

3.    Don’t Miss Out On Natural Light

One of the first things to reconsider when remodeling/ relocating your bath is whether or not there is a window or natural light source.

Why?

It automatically makes the space more pleasant and it prevents mold built up from the water.

4.    Placement Of Toile

Make sure that when someone first enters the washroom, they shouldn’t be greeted with the toilet.

I understand that many don’t have the luxury of that kind of space, but it is always good to be aware.

5.    Do Not Let Functionality Be Compromised

A good bathroom is less about how it looks and rather how well it functions.

Great design is about better efficiency; in function, cost and maintenance.

Of course, the looks and feel of the bathroom are important but they shouldn’t be prioritized above functionality.

These tips for your dream bathroom will help you in remodeling.   

B. Styling Ideas For Dream Bathroom

Your dream bathroom needs decor that will give it a visually appealing look.

Aesthetics are important, looking at beautiful things makes us happy.

Here are a few handpick tips and ideas for your dream bathroom.

Modern rustic is a mix of old and new styles, high and low.

A dream-style bathroom in this decor will artfully balance the clean, modern aesthetic with softer, natural elements in space.

This style requires keeping that space pretty much neutral and mixing styles, shapes, and forms.

It needs a touch of vintage, and the best way to bring it is by adding a painting.

A painting that can be the focal point of your dream bathroom.

Maybe a landscape charcoal drawing?

Art that you can express your personality with. Be it with the image of your favorite memory or your most stunning picture.

People often feel like having a storage space is like adding bulk to the space.

And it often does add bulk, but it can be avoided if you do it well.

Try mounting faucets, and bars onto your bathroom wall; that creates a clearer and lighter look.

Use your shelves smartly, don’t add a lot of things, and pack them up. Use the space cleverly by add leaving some space out and adding decor to make it look visually appealing.
