How to Evaluate Bathroom Designs

One of the most important parts of a house is the bathroom. It says so much about the home owner and his or her taste in style and decor. Therefore, designing a bathroom is a very personal adventure.

A good bathroom design should harmonize not just the elements of the bathroom but also incorporate the decor and feeling of the entire house. Such designs can be done by a professional interior designer or you can take on the challenge yourself. Regardless of what you choose, you need to realize that having a bathroom designed can be a challenging activity.

When evaluating a design for a bathroom the most important consideration is a practical one - how much storage will you have? While you want storage space that won't take up too much room, if you have too little then you won't be able to control all the clutter and mess. The best choice then is go for a bathroom sink with an integrated vanity with storage space. Corner shelves and placing towel bars one above the other can save space in smaller bathrooms.

It is surprising how much a bathroom can change by simply adding modern knobs, faucets, handles and towel bars. Also changing your bathroom set can have a dramatic effect. These are very cheap options to do. More expensive is changing the vanity, shower and bath. Lighting can be changed to increase the light available but also to add various effects of your choosing.

Tiles have probably the most dramatic impact. Bright colors schemes can add some spice to the bathroom but neutral schemes tend to be the most popular. The actual color you choose will depend on the style of the rest of the house and your personal taste.

The Bathroom Vanity Guide has a wide range of information and advice on choosing the very best bathroom designs for you and your home.
