Revamp the style of your bathroom with the right shutter
It’s easy to condemn our bathrooms as functional spaces and to focus our interior design efforts elsewhere in the home, but even making small changes can transform your space for greater relaxation and cohesiveness. Here’s just a few things you can do to transform your bathroom space for the better.
1. Make the most of your space – Whilst some are fortunate to have an abundance of space to play with, but don’t be disheartened if your space feels a tad more lacking – the key is enhancing whatever space you do have. A conclusive and popular method of enhancing space illusion is to add a large, statement mirror to the room. With so many options to choose from in the market, you are guaranteed to find something ideal for you and your space. Remember to be mindful of the focus of your design when shopping for your statement mirror. A centrepiece of a minimalistic room affords you to play with interesting designs and shapes – make your mirror a talking point. Where complimenting a feature item, a simplistic design may be better to avoid distraction or busyness. Enhance your mirror with LED lights to add luxury and better light control for the room on dark nights. Be careful not to get carried away with fascinating designs at the detriment of size when choosing your space enhancing mirror, the bigger the mirror the more the space is heightened.

2. Sometimes minimal is more – Minimalistic luxury will continue to feature as a big hitter for bathroom interiors in 2020. Where it’s not always possible to achieve minimalism in busy family abodes or in homes where storage is minimal, even taking small steps to reduce some of the clutter can make your bathroom feel a more relaxing and luxurious space to be. If you are renovating your bathroom, consider the silhouette of the space – keep it simple and spacious. Allow focus to remain on eye catching centrepieces such as a stand-alone bathtub which adds a new shape to the room outside of the interior architecture. You could also consider changes of lighting as suggested by homeandgardens.com. 2020 will see a rise in design focused lighting, using geometric shapes, and multi-levels for impact and individuality, perhaps some assertive design lighting is just what your bathroom needs.

4. What catches your eye? – We have already touched on the attraction of feature pieces in your bathroom, such as stand out bathtubs or lighting, but choices are not limited to these. For those looking to express themselves in their bathroom and find a minimalistic style not at the detriment of colour – stand out textures and colour schemes may just be for you. Idealhome.com suggest touches such as bold patterned wallpaper or statement showers walls to inject colour and individuality into your bathroom. Bold metallic taps and plugs are all the range right now and can be used to add further colour dimension into your space. You could also consider pictures or soft furnishings such as towels, cushions or a statement chair or stool for those with room allowance. Though tempting, act with caution when considering bold patterned or coloured tiles – consider that if you are choosing colour themes or patterns based on fashion trends, as these change it is much easier to alter soft furnishings or wallpaper than your tiles. Idealhome.com note botanical trends and the use of plants in bathrooms in their ‘Bathroom trends 2020’ article. Plants can brighten up your bathroom space and are positive for mental health, air quality and general positivity, however be wise on your plant choice based on moisture and light levels in the room.
5. Finishing touches – As you finish off your bathroom design, don’t forget those finishing flourishes that complete the design of your room and can tie your style project together. Filling a very minimalistic space with final additions such as soap dishes or dispensers, toothbrush holders and floor or wall storage for necessities can take your space to a new level and allow functionality as well as aesthetics. Where limited space won’t allow for larger storage pieces to keep your bathroom space clutter free, storage baskets come in handy for all bathroom stage needs and can either offer the addition of a vintage country style be selected to blend your colour and design scheme together.
