House Interior Design: Bathroom Makeover



Giving a makeover to bathrooms is a very important project in house interior design today. Functional necessities in the past but personal retreats in modern times, bathrooms, showcase the homeowner’s persona. Bathrooms today can easily be a combination of function and style, cutting back on neither, and be an aesthetic and artistic part of the house too. Summarized below are some contemporary ideas for bathroom makeovers –


The aging bathroom


Vinyl flooring was hip in the last century; this century is all about mosaic glass tiles, wooden flooring, Moroccan cement floor tiles, and other rich-coloured flooring options. All it takes for an out-dated bathroom to be young, fun and hip is doing away with vinyl flooring and faded wallpaper and add some fresh decals to the wall and fun and interesting patterned tiles to the floor.


The boring bathroom


House interior design ideas for bathrooms in the past have been besieged with boring colours. For example, beige as a colour might work in the rest of the house but not the bathroom, where it appears only insipid and bland. Similarly, black tiles, overloaded white tiles, and khaki-coloured bathrooms only suck the romance and good vibes out of you. Mixing various materials, textures and colours will bring back the life in the space. For example, one can go in for hand-painted carmine, chestnut, lava or lust-coloured wallpaper, or soothing blue walls with white cabinets to liven up the bathroom.


Fantastic baths


Baths have gone from being boring to rejuvenating. Right from showers to bathtubs, homeowners are replacing old fittings to make way for newer, chic and trendy ones. Small showers, old metal pedestal sinks, old toilets, and vinyl claw-foot bathtubs are making way for chic frameless glass and high-end steam showers with copper glass tiles, branded ceramic pedestal sinks and toilets, faucets, and sleek, modern bathtubs.


Contemporary and classy décor


Bathroom décor does not have to be only functional – it can look good too. Old-fashioned and bulky vanities and cabinets, faux granite khaki countertops, sheet mirrors, small-mosaic tiled floors are being replaced by all-in-one chic high-end double vanity, glossy wooden cabinets, recycled glass countertops, sleek-framed mirrors, wall sconces with recessed lighting, pebble tile walls, and funky floor tiles.


This ship has sailed


The problem with themed bathrooms is that some of them are as they can get. For example, a nautical-inspired bathroom with bright yellow mosaic tiles for the wall, out-dated vanity and images of lighthouses for the wallpaper make the bathroom seem crowded and anything but elegant. Instead, opting for aqua-blue wallpaper, white shelves with blue colour–inspired accessories, a frameless mirror and sleek wall sconces complete the look of a modern, tranquil bathroom. Similarly, a stuck-in-the-80s bathroom with hideous wallpapers can be given a makeover by opting for stencil-treated walls and contemporary canvases for a personal touch.


House interior design ideas for bathrooms keep up with changing times. Today being the age of spas, bathrooms can even be converted into spa sanctuaries by simply perking up the wall colour, replacing the vanity, faucets, mirrors and installing a groovy backsplash.
