Whether you want to implement small, eye-catching changes right now, or you are planning for your next big renovation, here are 10 great bathroom design ideas and approaches we love. 

Use Large Mirrors

It’s well known that incorporating full-size mirrors makes any space feel much bigger. So, even if you’re working within the limits of a small, intimate bathroom, a large mirror is not only a great feature, but it will visually double the size of your room. The most obvious choice is having this placed above your sink. You can look at ready-made, large size mirrors, jigsaw-style mirrors you fix together on the wall, or order something bespoke which is made to measure. 

Bring the Spa Home

It’s not that difficult to turn your home bathroom into a relaxing spa environment, a place you can go to unwind and take time for yourself. With a nice bathtub and specially prepared vanity drawer or chest, just prepare some bowls of your favourite salts, body creams and other treatments, light a few scented candles and treat yourself to a well-deserved soak in the tub, any night of the week. 

Use Natural Light

No matter where you live, or what your outside view is like, you can always benefit from lots of natural light. This sloped ceiling and window takes what could otherwise be a fairly tight bathroom space and turns into a light-filled room, enhanced by the clean, simple design and layout.  

Add Copper Features

Not everything has to be ceramic white. Don’t be afraid to try adding other materials you like for new, inventive bathroom design ideas. Copper taps, fittings or even a copper bathtub make interesting features and it gives the room a vintage, traditional look. You can still use simple tiling and flooring elsewhere, only using copper in key places to give your bathroom eye-catching details. 

Raise the Bathtub

A beautiful bath is a great feature for any bathroom. You can even use this as a centrepiece in the room, so it catches the eye of anyone who walks in. One way to do this is to have the bath elevated on a raised level. It means you’re literally walking up to climb into the bath. And don’t be afraid to try some stylish tile patterns for your new raised floor, to accent that section of the room. 

Go Rustic

Continuing the traditional theme, you can turn your urban bathroom into a relaxing country retreat with rustic features such as wooden chests, old fashioned lampshades and hand-painted tiles. This adds visual texture and style, while avoiding common sink vanities and repetitive features you may want to avoid.

Be Inspired by Your Environment

If you live in a rural area, or by the sea, take inspiration from your natural surroundings and create a bathroom that pays tribute to where you live. Rather than modernising everything, sometimes it’s a welcome change to take ideas from your environment and celebrate where you come from.  

Use the Architecture

Depending on the style of your property, you may have higher ceilings, archways, compact window panes or other features which naturally enhance your space. Sometimes, rather than totally revamping your bathroom, you can customise a new style to complement the physical structure that’s already there. When starting work on any renovations, we take extra care not to disturb existing furnishings so your home maintains its character and heritage. 

Get a Double Sink

Whether there’s space inside the bathroom itself, or directly outside, a double sink is a great way to provide you and your partner each with enough space, while also offering plenty of extra storage with new cabinets and drawers. Plus, when these are located outside the main bathroom, it allows even more space inside for other features or storage units. 

Bathroom Property Styling

• Declutter: Start by removing unnecessary items from the bathroom to create a clean and organized space. Clear countertops, empty the shower area, and tidy up toiletries.
• Neutral colors: Consider using neutral colors for the walls and accessories, as they create a sense of calm and appeal to a wider range of buyers. Light colors can also make the bathroom appear larger.
• Lighting: Ensure the bathroom has adequate lighting. Natural light is ideal, but if that’s not possible, incorporate bright and well-placed artificial lighting to make the space feel more welcoming.
• Fixtures and hardware: Update outdated fixtures such as faucets, showerheads, towel racks, and cabinet handles. Opt for modern and cohesive designs that complement each other.
• Mirrors: Install a well-sized mirror or mirrors to reflect light and create an illusion of spaciousness. Mirrors also add a touch of elegance to the bathroom.

Remember, the goal of bathroom property styling is to create a visually appealing and functional space that can attract potential buyers or renters. Its best to use an Property Styling expert in Sydney

Hang Pictures 

Even though it’s a bathroom, don’t be shy about hanging framed pictures of any kind. Whether you want to show off family photos, holiday snaps, or artwork you’ve collected over the years, the bathroom is an underutilised place to do this, and it’s a very simple way to add plenty of character to your home.

So, if you think new bathroom design ideas are only for those with huge properties, you’d be wrong. We work with any size space, big and small, to create stunning bathrooms that also add significant value to your home.
