He bathroom ideaHe is the one who does his job and does it in style. And better with a lot of style. We have already commented many times here that a good bathroom goes far beyond fulfilling its basic functions. The sensory part or what is the same, what the bathroom transmits to us It is very important so that its daily use (there is no other choice) is a pleasant experience.
The sensory part refers to the senses. Things like light, smell, warmth … The good news is that you can play with the design to choose what your bathroom transmits. You may like a spa-like bathroom or a bathroom that conveys cleanliness and order. You may want a Provencal-style bathroom that smells of lavender or a very urban bathroom. You can even bet on a cheerful and functional bathroom that greets you every morning with a fun wink (for lack of budget it is a good option).
Anything is worth except falling into these decorative bugs. Mistakes that will lead to dull, dull, characterless bathrooms.
Poor and insufficient lighting in the bathroom
Bathroom lighting is an essential part of the bathroom. Poor (and insufficient) lighting can ruin a beautiful design.
Ideally, the bathroom has natural light, although in practice it is not normal. Whether the bathroom has natural light or not, Artificial lighting must be effective and include at least two scenes or areas to illuminate the bathroom.
A scene would focus on generating a uniform and general light for the entire bathroom and that it can be located in the central part of the bathroom in small bathrooms and in elongated or large bathrooms it can be closer to the least lit area, usually the toilet and bathtub.
A second scene would affect the light of the sink. Ideally, there should be light above and on the sides of the mirror because the sink is where we wash our faces, shave and apply make-up, that’s why it is necessary for this area to be very well lit (with neutral light) and with spotlights at about 35/40 cm away.
A third area to illuminate is the shower. The new possibilities of luminaires, such as watertight spotlights They are protected from humidity, allowing spotlights to be placed in the shower to improve lighting in this area. You can also choose to illuminate with a led strip that will transform the shower into an experience every day.
In any case, have various lighting in the bathroom It will allow you to use them according to the use you are going to make at each moment of the bathroom.

A warm bath mixing textures and shapes
Mixing textures and finishes is the key so that a space is not boring and flat. The same goes for forms.
Have you thought about why round mirrors are so fashionable now? Because since the sinks left the curve – the semi-curved sink was a must in the 90s …- and the straight lines are the protagonists in the bathroom furniture, the mirrors became round as if wanting to compensate for the hardness of the straight line.
As for the materials, the wooden sink is ideal for bathrooms tiled with gloss ceramics and in micro-cement you can choose smooth and even glossy surfaces to compensate for its matte finish.
Saving where you shouldn’t and not investing in what will make the difference
When we reform a bathroom we always want the reform to be as economical as possible. And yes, it is best to save as much as possible but if the budget is tight we recommend lowering the cost in the choice of coating (there are very nice coatings at affordable prices), and stretch the budget, for example, in the shower faucet.
Because getting under a big sprayer every morning is a good way to start your day.
Don’t think vertically
A small room can cover all your needs to store your bathroom items if you think vertically.
The mirror of the sink can be a closet, the upper space of the toilet is ideal to place shelves and of course, there must be enough hangers and towel racks to store towels, soaps etc …
Tile every corner of the bathroom
In addition to that there are more options to the classic tiling if you decide on this, think that it is not strictly necessary to cover the entire bathroom with tiles, especially on walls with high ceilings.
Reserve tiles up to the ceiling for damp walls and play with the cuts and lines generated by the tiling cuts.
In addition to saving on the material, the non-tiled area can be easily painted every so often or put wallpaper on it.

Don’t think about the ceiling design
He ceiling can be painted to be part of the bathroom design. The mistake many times is to think that since the bathroom is small we are limited in its design but precisely because of its small size it is worth thinking about incorporating the ceiling as a decorative element. You can paint all or just a part of the ceiling like the one in the shower, to zoning and create different sensations in that area.
If you paint the ceiling in a dark color it will give the feeling that it is lower so it creates a cozy feeling and also gives category to the bathroom.

Do not think about the plants and the smell of the bathroom
Plants can also have a space in the bathroom. A plant bath appears cooler and calmer, and some plants absorb excess moisture from the bath and purify the air.
You can also use clusters of aromatic plants to make your daily shower a wellness experience and, of course, it is a good place to incorporate your favorite fragrance in the form of a candle or diffuser.
Do not think that your bathroom also deserves a special decoration
The importance of the bathroom is such that it deserves the same care as other rooms such as the living room, so why not include pictures or a small carpet instead of the functional bath mat?
