Floating Vanities
Floating vanities give your bathroom a modern and minimalist feel. Not only do they look sleek, but they also save space by allowing for more storage underneath. Floating vanities come in all sorts of designs and styles, so you can find one that fits the look of your bathroom perfectly. This type of vanity will need to be place on a wall that can hold the weight of the cabinet and your countertop of choice. Because of this, you may need to have added framing support behind the drywall. This type of vanity also looks good with under cabinet lighting and gives a soft glow at night. You will need to include electrical under the cabinet if you wish to upgrade it with lighting.
Accent Wallpaper
A wallpaper accent wall is an excellent way to give your Phoenix bathroom an immediate facelift. Choose a fun patterned wallpaper or opt for something more muted and subtle depending on the look you’re going for. You’ll be amazed at how wallpaper can instantly add depth, texture and personality to your space! If you are redoing a powder room you may want to go bold or dark and moody. Because these rooms a typically small, you can afford to select a bold pattern without overwhelming the space. You may also want to go bright with the wallpaper as a bright palette will expand the space and make it feel larger than it is.
Statement Lighting
Lighting has the power to make or break a bathroom aesthetic. A statement piece of lighting such as a chandelier, pendant light or even an industrial-style sconce can dramatically change the look of your space without having to do any major renovations. Don’t be afraid to get creative! Lighting does have special applications depending on where it is being used. If you would like to place the light in the ceiling above the tub or shower, it will need to have a moisture barrier like a gasket to keep the humidity from entering the lighting housing and traveling into the ceiling. Other lights, lite rope lights or led strips, may need special magnetic wall switches and a transformer to convert the electricity so the LEDs can use it. Either way, it is best to consult with an electrician before you purchase your lights.
Built-in mirror lights
A built-in mirror light can give your bathroom a modern, luxurious look. Not only does it eliminate the need for additional lights on either side of the mirror, but it also adds a hint of sophistication to any bathroom. Choose from warm white or cool blue tones depending on your desired ambiance.
Pendant lights
If you’re looking to give your bathroom a quick and easy remodel, consider adding some pendant lights. Pendant lights are a great way to add personality and style to any bathroom and can be installed in just on either side of a vanity mirror. This will bring the light around your face and eliminate harsh shadows.
Under cabinet lights
Under cabinet lights can give your bathroom a more finished and polished look. Perfect for indirect lighting, under cabinet lights provide bright light that is both functional and stylish. Choose from warm white or cool blue tones to complement the existing decor of your space.
Bathroom Accent Tile
Tile is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of ways to add interest and personality to your bathroom. Consider using accent tile on the floor, walls or even in the shower for a unique touch. If yo are going to be applying tile to a shower floor, make sure you select a small format tile that can easily mold to the shape of the slopped shower pan. Large tile may not lay flat making it difficult to install and ultimately leading to a failure down the road.
Floors
The floor of your bathroom is an often overlooked element when it comes to remodeling. But with the right choice, it can make a huge impact on the overall look and feel of your space. Consider using tiles or even wood accents for a more natural vibe. Because the bathroom is typically a smaller room in the house, you can afford to go big on your tile selection and you may not face the same price constraints that you would if you were to tile the rest of your home.
Unique Showers
A unique shower can be the show-stopping centerpiece of any Phoenix bathroom. Consider installing a custom shower with multiple heads and rain shower features for a luxurious spa experience in your own home.
Unique Accessories
Finally, don’t forget about accessories! Adding unique pieces such as artwork, mirrors and vases can really bring your Phoenix bathroom together and give it that extra bit of personality. Shop around for unique items at local antique stores or flea markets – you never know what gems you might find!
