Remodelling is a great way to breathe new life into a bathroom.  It can be done on a small scale, introducing new bath ware or perhaps changing your wall and floor finishes.  Remodelling can also mean an overhaul of the entire room, making a new bathroom from scratch.

Whatever the extent of your renovation, here are 6 key ideas to get your spark your creativity.

1. Vanity by design

As a key feature of the bathroom, the vanity adds both style and function to the room.  A floating vanity is a chic option which can add a feeling of spaciousness which is particularly useful in a smaller setting.

When deciding on a vanity take your storage needs into consideration.  If a large amount of storage is required then a vanity with drawers and cupboards is an ideal solution, providing ample space to create an uncluttered effect in the bathroom.

Additional space can be made with matching cupboard units which not only provide alternative storage solutions but have a decorative impact, making this a stylish focal point in your room.

The countertop finish plays a role in contributing to the bathroom style with a wooden finish bringing warmth to the bathroom while a finish such as marble provides a sleek, elegant feel.

2.  The tiling effect

Floor and wall finishes play an important role in creating the atmosphere of your room.  Rich, warm tones create an inviting feel, while darker tones add an air of sophistication.

Tiling can be used as an effective design element, creating a feature wall using patterned tiling.  Complementary tiling works extremely well, using this effect with tiles with graded tones or different textures.

While tiling from the floor to the ceiling makes the bathroom feel larger, tiling can be used to add interest to the bathroom by interchanging the tiled and painted surfaces such as using a dark grey subway tiling from the floor to the ceiling of the shower, continuing this tiling along the bottom part of the window wall, with the upper part of the wall painted white, creating a sophisticated decor effect.

3.  Accessoriesing with Style

While accessories add the finishing touch to any bathroom, if you are looking to only make just a few changes to your bathroom, then accessories is an ideal way to go.  By just adding a few unique additions, you can alter the mood of your bathroom.

Bath and shower caddies not only provide a great way of keeping toiletries organised, these accessories add a touch of glamour to the space.  With bath caddies coming in exotic materials like wood or perspex, together with the more traditional chrome option, your choice of bath caddy can complement the rest of your bath ware of even act as a definitive point of the room.

Adding a decor accessory such as a large vase with dried flowers introduces colour to the room, together with a stylish flair, allowing you to express your creative side.

There are also luxury items such as a sound system, allowing you to enjoy the smooth sounds of your choice in music, setting the tone while you relax.

4.  Light it up

Lights add a special detail to the room, providing ambience and adding to the bathroom style.

While a dimmer switch allows you to regulate the amount of light needed and the mood you wish to enjoy, other lighting plays a part in both illuminating different areas of the room and setting the ambience.

Chandeliers provide an elegance to the room, sconces provide illumination, especially when strategically placed above the vanity, while pendant lighting provides both optimal illumination and enhances the room.  Usually used in groupings, pendant lighting is an ideal light solution in the vanity area, allowing you to maximise horizontal space while providing a decorative element which illuminates the area.

5.  Shower of happiness

Walk in showers with frameless glass doors have a sophisticated appeal, demarcating the shower area without cutting it off from the rest of the bathroom space.  Add to the mood of the shower experience with a LED rainshower showerhead which provides both the all  enjoyment of being surrounded by shower water with the LED bulbs being integrated into the head, providing light to the shower water, giving your bathroom a spa like feel.

These additions and changes combine both form and function in order to enhance your bathroom experience, so that you emerge refreshed and ready to take on the day or relax and rested for the night.
