In bathroom remodeling, the minimalist style is one of the most popular, perhaps because it feels spa-like. Following are some tips for achieving this look.
Declutter: Minimalist, as the name implies, means less is more. Hence, one of the first things you want to do is declutter. And this means everywhere; even in places that can’t be seen (eg, under the sink). Why is decluttering where you can’t see important?
This style of décor is about a mindset as much as it’s about color or furniture. You are probably drawn to this style of decorating because you like cleanliness and organization. If hidden spaces are cluttered, it’s more than likely going to bother you – even if no one else sees it. So, stay true to the foundation of what this style is all about and declutter – everywhere.
Colors: In a bathroom design of this type, neutral, soothing colors are what’s called for. It doesn’t mean that you’re relegated to beiges and whites though. You can use actual colors to keep your bath from feeling like a hospital room, instead of a spa-like bathroom.
Soothing greens, cooling blues and toasted browns are all rich colors that call to mind nature without being boring. And, they work well for this style of bath décor.
Furniture: Once the walls are painted, then it’s time to address the furniture and fixtures. Choose furniture and fixtures that have simple, clean lines and rich textures.
Accessories: In this category we refer to mirrors, towels, shower curtains, soap dishes, wall hangings, etc. The first rule of thumb is not to overdo it by bringing in too much (keep decluttering in mind). Also, keep natural colors in mind (eg, white for towels; silver or brass for towel racks and soap dishes; etc.).
A professional contractor can give you the spa-like bathroom you crave in no time at all. Then, you can sit back, relax and enjoy!
