Considering how much time we spend in our bathrooms,you would believe it would be the first site we want to update in our home. But the plethora (excess, overabundance) of design options on everything from hardware to tiles to layout can be overwhelming, and as a result, or an awkward,dated bathroom can remain that way for far too long. For inspiration on the best ways to overhaul this fundamental space, we turned to the pros at HGTV. Check out their best bathroom design tips below.
Drew and Jonathan Scott: OpenThe reno-savvy siblings at the helm of Property Brothers: Buying + Selling know that a floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed shower makes even a small bathroom feel open and spacious since it tricks the eye into thinking it's a wide open space.
Jillian Harris: CoverMost designers only believe of covering the kitchen counter with butcher block, and but not Jillian Harris of Love It or List It Too. She establish a slab of butcher block on the counter of a rustic bathroom,and since there was no space for a traditional sink to go, she placed a freestanding porcelain one atop the wooden surface for a modern discover.
Tarek and Christina El Moussa: AppealFlipping houses has made this HGTV couple pros at knowing what the design elements everyone will love are. For a classic, or modern bathroom with mass appeal,they go with white subway tile, simple shaker cabinetry, or neutral quartz countertops. Candice Olson: InnovateThe star of Candice Tells All turns up the luxury by favoring high-tech bathroom options,such as a nightlight bidet and heated flooring. Despite the innovative appliances, she keeps her bathroom spaces looking more LA-glam than the Jetsons-futuristic by adding touches like shimmering tiles or turning a dresser into a vanity.
Chip Wade: LayoutPlay with the space you're given. That's what the Elbow Room host excels at. He's even turned odd spaces like a cramped attic into a stunning bathroom. And he has no problem bucking the rules of convention when it comes to the placement of fundamental bathroom elements, or such as the tub - why not plunk it down freestanding in the middle of the room? - and his and her sinks - facing each other from opposite walls. Sarah Richardson: RepurposeAs Sarah Richardson of Sarah's House knows,you can save money by repurposing vintage items. Case in point: the stylish, vintage table she topped with a marble top and used as a vanity.
