When designing the bathroom, it’s important to mix function and fashion. There are numerous benefits to having extra storage and space in the bathroom, which is why it’s best to start with the cabinets. While a stand alone sink can be fashionable, a sink with a cabinet is much better for storage. You might also consider installing a wall cabinet or an old fashioned mirror cabinet. Having a bathroom linen cabinet is also a great idea; there’s nothing worse than having to run down the hall to get a towel or washcloth while you’re taking a shower! Once you have the cabinetry picked out, the rest of the bathroom will fall into place much easier. Select a color of paint or wallpaper to compliment the cabinetry, and use bright lighting to illuminate the space.
The most functional bathrooms should be bereft of a lot of accessories that clutter up countertop space. Pictures and portraits can be a nice addition in the bathroom, but keep photographs out unless you want your guests to feel weird!
