Shelly’s Guide To Bathroom Interior Design
Bathrooms should be inviting, attractive, and functional. Whether you’re designing a small powder room that makes a big impact or refitting a primary suite with a custom bathroom and closet space, it’s important to add style and finishings. To get the most value and function from your space, don’t neglect your bathroom's interior design simply because it’s a private space in your home. Our team at Shelly’s Interior Concepts can help you incorporate important design elements into your bathroom spaces to make them function better and become a relaxing oasis.
Easy Bathroom Interior Design Tips
- Layered lighting will make your bathroom more inviting and functional. Ceiling fixtures provide practical ambient lighting, while vanity lights, LED strip lighting, and spotlights are ideal for task and accent lighting. Consider a large mirror to reflect light in a small bathroom.
- Leave space for movement when drying off and dressing. Squeezing in as many features as possible will make your bathroom feel cramped and cluttered.
- Add as much storage as is practical for the space. You can use freestanding cabinets, floating shelves, wall pegs, and large decorative baskets to neatly store bathroom essentials.
- Decide if you want your bathroom to be soothing or energizing, and create a color palette that reflects the mood you’re looking for. Shades of blue, green, and soft neutrals give bathrooms a serene, spa-like ambiance, and brighter shades of yellow or orange may help invigorate as you start your day on a cheerful note.
Why You Need Water-Resistant Window Treatments
The window treatments in your bathroom will inevitably get damp or moist in heat and humidity. Fortunately, we offer many options that combine upscale style with robust durability; these are our favorites:
EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds
Faux wood blinds provide variable light control and classic good looks while being impervious to heat and moisture damage. Tilt the slats for simultaneous natural light and privacy, or fully lift them using one of several cordless control systems.
Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds
Metal blinds resist rusting, moisture, and dents while making your bathroom modern and chic. Available in three slat sizes and over 70 finishes, these water-resistant window treatments are an excellent choice for any bathroom.
Designer Roller Shades
These shades have a streamlined profile and are a fantastic choice for bathrooms with minimal space. Choose from over 370 fabrics in every opacity; the dual roller design allows you to place any two Designer Roller Shades on a single window.
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters
Shutters have a timeless appeal, but the traditional wood styles don’t last long in humid spaces. Humid rooms are where Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are in their element. Vinyl shutters are 100% waterproof, which makes them excellent for windows inside showers. Elevate the appearance of your shutters with an optional sill cover.
NewStyle® Composite Shutters
Composite shutters combine wood and synthetic materials, and they are nearly identical to hardwood shutters. NewStyle® Composite Shutters withstand the heat and moisture of bathrooms, are strong enough to handle high-traffic bathrooms, and resist scratches.
