Is it time to renovate your bathroom? Not sure what designs will stand the test of time and maintain your home’s resale value?
This blog should point you in the direction, as we remind you that more is less when setting the foundations of a timeless bathroom.
It may be tempting to spruce things up with a whacky vanity or some funky coloured tiles, but these temptations should be tempered. Otherwise, you risk being left with a bathroom that is quickly considered out of date, or even ugly.
Once you’ve read this blog, contact Mimicoco to fit out your bathroom with style and ease. We have nearly everything you need for a beautiful bathroom, complemented by professional advice and service.
Neutral Tones for Classic Homes
Some people might be disheartened to hear that a timeless bathroom is built upon plain, neutral tones such as whites and light greys. You might ask, “Where’s the personality?”
In the accessories, we say!
A splash of white or grey paint, a matching vanity bench and complementary tiles are just the foundation on which you can add your own personality.
Think of a neutral-toned bathroom like a blank canvas – there’s no plant, linen, fixtures or fittings that won’t go with this crisp colour palette.
Instead of chasing trends when you design your bathroom and getting stuck with some exuberant mosaic tiles that won’t be stylish in five years, lay the foundations and build from there.
This way you can accessorise in your favourite colour of the month without having to rip out your vanity or flooring.
You’d be surprised what a difference a new piece of art or fresh towels can make to a well-designed bathroom.
Bold Tiles
Many designers will contradict each other in this area, but we lean towards simple and solid tiles such as subway or large engineered stone.
If you have the budget for it, distinguished marble flooring and tiles have always been a sign of luxury and great style. Don’t be afraid to splash out as these bathroom elements demand the most attention in the eye of the beholder.
The only trouble with marble or engineered stone tiling is they demand a certain style of bathroom and limit your options when it comes to other elements like your vanity. For more flexibility, subway style is our tile of choice.
Bath
There’s not too much more to be said besides a bath is a vital piece to any bathroom. After all, it’s in the name!
If you’re in the business of adding value to your home, you’re going to want a bath in the main bathroom.
The rounded edges of free-standing baths are certainly a long-term winner and suit most bathroom styles.
Whether you’re going for a farmhouse, European, contemporary, traditional or another style completely, a nice bath is essential.
Consider our Fienza Eleanor Acrylic Bath as you consider the layout of your new space.
Storage
Absolutely essential in the pursuit of a return on investment, ample storage has become non-negotiable in modern bathroom design.
This could come in the form of a mirrored cabinet, some nifty shelving, a shower nook, or under sink cabinetry.
Keep things neat with some nice baskets, a skirted sink, a storage ladder, or some over-the-door hooks.
