Bathroom: Wish list

If you are thinking of renovating your bathroom, here's some inspiration to get you started:

Lighting is important in this space, to highlight your face with task lighting or ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. I love these wall sconces because they mix modern materials with more traditional styling

If style is your main priority with this bath room, then a floating vanity would be a perfect choice. I appreciate this option because it has a warm wood tone, but contemporary and simple lines. You can also take an inspiration image to your local cabinetry shop to see if they can replicate what you are looking for:






If you have a custom shower base, this "guitar pick" option would add an unexpected twist to your shower floor:




I like to use lighter shades for wall tile, so it has an airy feeling. Then to create some contrast I like to go a few shades darker with the floor tile. Using a different shape or size then the wall tile is important for me as well:



For your shower start with a large scale wall tile on the shower walls, with minimal pattern and texture for a simplistic look:

This mosaic tile will work brilliantly with the large scale wall tile by being similar in color, but contrast material and pattern wise. You can use it on a whole shower feature wall, or as an accent band throughout your shower
