How To Create The Ideal Bathroom

The bathroom should be a place where you can easily relax and unwind. After all, what is more relaxing than a warm bath?

The way your bathroom is designed can have a huge effect on how easy is it to chill out.

But with these few tips, you can create a relaxing and functional bathroom for you and your family.

Install underfloor heating 
Whether you have a tile, laminate or hardwood floor in your bathroom, the floor can get cold - especially if you are stepping out of the bath or shower.

To combat this, you should install underfloor heating. This will keep the floor pleasantly warm, and can even be used as the only heat source in the room - freeing up space that would have used by a radiator or other heater.

Underfloor heating can be easily controlled, so you can switch it on to come on while you are in the bath. When you get out, the floor will be warm - so you won't have to step onto a cold floor.

Get a heated towel rail 
A heated towel rail is a real luxury that will add to the comfort of your bathroom.

It can be used to dry damp towels, as well as keeping fresh towels warm, ideal if you need to dry yourself after a cold and rainy day.

What's more, the heated towel rail can act as a heat source for the rest of the room. If you have a small bathroom, the heat given off by the towel rail may be enough to warm if, removing the need for radiators or other heat sources.

Choose a large bath 
There are few things more relaxing than lying back in the bath, letting the water soothe your muscles after a hard day. However, if you have a cramped bath, this may not offer the relaxing haven you want.

When you are choosing your bathroom furniture, you should make space for a generous bathtub. This will allow you to stretch out fully and relax while you soak.

Use neutral colours 
The colour scheme can also help you relax. To create a relaxing bathroom, you should plan to use soothing, neutral colours.

Not only will these help you relax, but lighter colours will also reflect light, making your bathroom appear bigger than it is. That is a great help, particularly if you have a small bathroom and space is at a premium.

However, even if you have a small bathroom, it can become very relaxing by following these hints.

How To Incorporate Bathroom Design

Comfort Plus Style Equals Fashionable Bathroom Design
When it's time to remodel a bathroom or design plans for a new bathroom, the first step is to focus on the overall style of the interior and exterior of the home.  If contemporary style is predominant throughout the house, planning and designing a bathroom in a more modern decor coordinates well.  The accent in today's interior designi is less on formality of coordination and more on comfort and eye appeal.  This leaves a much larger margin for bathroom design.
The First Step - Choosing Color Scheme
The first step in designing bathroom decor begins with colors.  That includes all fixtures, rugs, curtains and even towels and bath mats.  Incorporating texture in a bathroom adds a touch of elegance.  Choose light fixtures in burnished copper or gleaming chrome.  The size of the room has much to do with the color scheme.  Smaller bathrooms should incorporate bathroom design that's light and airy.  Even smaller bathrooms can be designed so that the size appears larger.
The Next Step to Incorporate Bathroom Design
Once the color scheme is settled, to adequately incorporate bathroom design, choose sinks, tubs, bidettes, shower stalls and toilets proportionate to the size of the room.  Try balancing the shower/tub area of the room with an even mix of other essential fixtures on the opposite side of a room.  In other words, balance room focus so that the shower/tub area doesn't dominate the look of the entire room.  This can also be accomplished by choosing more dramatic window curtains that contrast with the shower curtain.  Bathroom walls and floor can be finished in varying types of coverings.  When choosing ceramic tile, keep maintenance in mind.  The bathroom is the most often occupied room in the house.  Wall and floor tiles should be sturdy, yet attractive for the best design implementation.  Create a design pattern for wall coverings and tile.  By using design patterns, bathroom decor is relieved from color monotony.  The patterns can be dramatic or complimentary to other colors in the room.
The Finishing Touches
In planning to incorporate bathroom design, this includes subtle touches like adding live plants atop a small corner storage cabinet.  Choose live plants that thrive best in a room where shower and bathtub steam will encourage blooms.  Don't forget to use that empty space atop the medicine cabinet.  Add small pots of brightly colored flowers.  For the top of the toilet tank, create a pretty candle arrangement for a romantic look.
