“With every bathroom renovation, there are three areas that I focus on: budget, function and style.” - Candice Olson

New Lighting Fixtures

One of the simplest remodels that get the most benefits is simply updating the lighting fixtures in a bathroom. Not only will this add brand new lights to an older room, but with the right track lighting, you’ll be able to literally see yourself in a whole new light. Small bathroom design ideas like this are not just completely advisable, but also see a return for the long term and provide a useful feature in the short term. Here are some newer models of lights that should fit right into your bathroom:

  • Shades
  • Street lamp design
  • Chandelier (no, really)
  • Twin mounted lamps
  • Matching wall mounted features
  • Diva lights
  • Electric candelabra
  • Crystal lighting
  • LED strips
  • Spa lighting

Geometric Bathroom Designs

One of the latest trends in home remodeling is the ever symmetrical geometric pattern. This is a great way to ensure that your home looks as smooth as possible for a very reasonable price tag. Geometric designs can be as simple as outlining the bathroom with wooden trim work around the room’s frame, or as complex as adding a glass shower door with a similar pattern. The versatility of geometric patterns make it one of the best bathroom remodels available to date.

It might sound like one of the more silly bathroom designs, but hiding the toilet can actually be a classy way to be both functional and discreet. You can accomplish this in one of two ways:

  1. A “room-behind-a-room” approach with a strategically placed wall
  2. A strategically placed half-wall.

Either way, it enables the full functionality of the bathroom without a line of sight to the fixture. If a wall is out of the budget, try an armoire.

Mediterranean-Inspired Design
