Our bathrooms can sometimes be a less desirable place to be. Designing a new bathroom scheme can be a fun project to undertake. If you make mistakes in the color, it can be easily fixed. Take into consideration how you would like your bathroom to look. Think about the floor layout when deciding where the focal point of the bathroom should be. Once you choose your focal point, you can begin to design around it and everything else will fall into place.
Defining your Space
When defining the space of your bathroom it is important to define the focal point. Your focal point can become the defining space of your bathroom. The gray color scheme may seem a little daunting at first, but paired with complementary colors will make it pop. Do not just throw a coat of paint on the wall. You can use a variety of textures to bring out the depth of your colors. The gray color is just the foundation for the complementary aspects of your design. Use a combination of light and dark gray colors that blend in well. Use lighter grays for the wall and a combination of light and dark for the floors. Throw in a neutral color such as tan or beige to break up any areas that need a pop of lighter colors.
Cabinetry
Now that you have your colors on the walls and floors, it is time to think about the cabinets. The cabinet space can be designed in a traditional or contemporary fashion that fits in well with your color scheme. Pick pieces that will catch the eye of those that will be visiting your home. Keep in mind that if your space is small do not use bulky pieces that take up too much room. Find pieces that are functional but fit in well with the space that you have.
Lighting
When thinking about lighting, think about what you want to highlight in the room. Lighting can take on the functional and the beauty aspects of the room. It is important to choose lighting that will bring out the natural beauty of the room. The right lighting will enhance the focal point of the room you have designed. Depending on your mood, use lighting that will soften the harder edges of the room.
Final Thoughts
The bathroom may be the least thought of place in anyone’s home. This room is generally taken for granted and looked over in most cases. Even though the gray color scheme may seem too dark and dreary, it can be designed in a way that is beautiful. This room can be put together in a fashion that will reflect your own personal style. Designing the bathroom should not be a daunting project that you just want to hurry to get done. Putting together the bathroom should be just as special as designing any other part of your home. The bathroom will become a place in your home you can be proud of to call your own.
