The Wow of an Accent Wall

Feature walls will instantly enhance any space, but in the bathroom, it can feel so much more luxurious. Why? It’s probably due to the materials used–swirling marble or large-scale tile to name a couple ideas. This is one of those bathroom design features that will make you feel like you’ve been transported to a spa.

Storage Solutions

One of the most important bathroom design features is the incorporation of storage. Nothing will effect your life so greatly as adding storage where you didn’t have enough before. Luckily, in a bathroom, a little can go a long way. Vanity towers are a stunning way to add height to the space while also providing an incredible amount of storage–including hidden outlets to prevent counter clutter. Built-in wall shelves are another option. Spruce up the look with fluffy towels rolled for that spa-like feel you love.

Vanity Style

The vanity you choose for your bathroom will set the tone for the space, whether painted or stained, floating or standing. Would you prefer one sink + lots of counter space, or two sinks–one for each of you? After choosing the vanity, there’s other bathroom design features that go right along with it. Should you opt for round mirrors, or rectangular? Lighting above–or side sconces? The hardware makes a statement of coordinated design, with brass and matte black being today’s favorites.
