Contemporary bathroom with walnut storage

User

The walnut cabinets add a sophisticated warmth to this neutral bathroom. We also love the rounded sink which could be matched with a similar shaped bath in a bigger space. The lighting creates a soft glow which is perfect for a bathroom.

The Dream Lives On-Bathroom

Mark Brand Architecture

Two years after we completed our main floor remodel and addition project for a family from Washington D.C. they had grown dissatisfied with the rest of their house. In remodeling the upper floor, our greatest challenge was creating a clean modern interior feeling while dealing with seemingly random roof and ceiling slopes and traditional bay window forms. We managed to disguise these features and reworked the plan to create great bathrooms and bedrooms as well. The master suite includes a window seat and fireplace combination which can be enjoyed from multiple angles and a spacious bathroom. The children’s wing includes a clever bathroom designed to be shared by a teenage girl and boy. The two sink vanity is located in a niche off the hallway with separate rooms behind frosted glass pocket doors for the toilet and bath.

La salle de bain de luxe

Jessica Locas Design

Cette rénovation ambitieuse donne à cette salle de bain un cachet classique tout en y apportant une touche de modernité et de personnalisation, reflétant le caractère unique des propriétaires. Le résultat est un design audacieux, empreint d’une atmosphère moody et d’un charme incontestable, tout à fait à la signature de Jessica Locas Design! Après une mûre réflexion et l’examen de plusieurs plans d’aménagement, la décision fut prise de créer deux vanités distinctes, permettant ainsi de dégager un espace pour une ouverture en forme d’arche qui invite à découvrir cette douche massive de 8 pieds de long, avec deux pommeaux de douche et lumières DEL intégrées dans la niche. On y retrouve une porcelaine arborant la dernière tendance d’effet travertin aux murs, ainsi qu’une base en Dekton sur mesure. L’espace de la salle de bain a été judicieusement agrandi en intégrant le couloir adjacent, auparavant négligé, qui s’est transformé en coin maquilleuse avec un meuble sur mesure en chêne teinté, conçu avec lumières intégrées ainsi qu’une grande armoire de rangement, elle aussi sur mesure.

Bathroom Design Ideas with Brown Cabinets and Dark Wood Cabinets

If you’re looking for bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
