Other than the kitchen, the bathroom in the home probably receives the most traffic. Ensure this room is both visually appealing and functional for residents of the home and guests. How can a homeowner make certain this is the case?
Plan for Multiple Guests

When two or more people share a bathroom, things can become crowded very quickly. People often install a double vanity in the master bathroom but neglect to do so in other bathrooms in the home.
However, guests coming for a visit would be interested in a double vanity in their bathroom. They don’t want to be stepping over each other as they prepare for bed or work to get ready in the morning for a day of fun with their friends.
Imagine how much easier bedtime would be if the bathroom the kids use had a double vanity. Two kids could brush their teeth at the same time without fighting over the sink. Parents find this to be a worthwhile investment for this reason alone.
Sit and Soak
Many people love to take a warm bath after a long day at work or school. They enjoy soaking in the water and sipping on a glass of wine or listening to some music. What better way to do so than to add a freestanding tub designed specifically for this purpose?
With this type of tub, a person has more decorating ideas, as the tub does not sit in a corner. They can add a freestanding faucet and a towel rack to transform the space. However, a person might want to go in a different direction and use this extra space for a living thing.
Bring Nature Indoors
Many people choose a monochromatic scheme for their bathroom. They may try to liven the room up a bit with colorful accessories. However, there is limited space in this room for accessories, so the final effect may not be what they envisioned.
Add some moisture-loving plants to the room and transform the space in a matter of minutes. Place one on the vanity if there is room or hang one from the ceiling. As previously mentioned, a freestanding tub may free up valuable floor space. Use this space to bring a cactus or other moisture-loving plant into the bathroom.
Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles
Countless homeowners choose to make their bathrooms kid-friendly by installing floor-to-ceiling tiles. If the kids make a mess in the room, the parents can simply hose the walls down and have a clean bathroom once again
However, this trend is also being seen in adult bathrooms. The materials are often more luxurious in these spaces designed for adults, however. Floor-to-ceiling stone walls are one idea every homeowner should consider when redoing this room.
Details Matter
Add some elegance to the bathroom by installing a crystal chandelier. LED backlighting serves as the perfect addition to a shower niche, while ambient lighting is perfect for a nighttime shower. People often have harsh lighting in the bathrooms. Change the lighting in this room today to see how it takes this space from boring and functional to aesthetically appealing without losing any of the function.
These are only a few of the many ways a homeowner can increase the visual appeal of the bathroom without sacrificing function in the process. However, they are just suggestions. Take a second look at the bathroom and see where changes can be made to achieve this goal. People are often surprised to find what they can do with this essential room in the home.
