- Considering the personal needs of yourself and your family will ensure the bathroom is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. For instance, if a family member happens to have special needs or is physically handicapped, placing a seat in the shower or handrails along the sides of the toilet will help to limit accidents. If there are children, a bathtub along with colorful bathroom designs might be preferable to a colorless shower to make bath time more fun and engaging.
- To avoid a discordant home design, a bathroom's design should complement the theme and color scheme of the rest of the home. For instance, if the home's design is contemporary, incorporating clean lines and modern colors into the bathroom will help to promote that theme. Possible color choices might include ivory, ebony or stainless steel. Many modern-style toilets are available on the market as well. A floating toilet in which the toilet is secured to the bathroom wall without a base and censor flusher or a push-button on the wall might help with the modern theme. Toilets also come in a variety of colors, so if traditional white isn't quite your style, select a black toilet.
- In addition to the home's overall theme and color scheme, factor in the mood you wish to convey in the bathroom. If you'd like the bathroom to be peaceful and calming because you enjoy nightly bubble baths, the bathroom's color and theme should evoke soothing emotions. Colors such as sky blue or violet have a calming effect. If the bathroom is for the kids and you want the bathroom to be fun and inviting, primary colors such as green, yellow or red work well to catch their interest.
- Incorporating accessories add the finishing touch to any bathroom's decor. Placing candles throughout or hanging a simple piece of art above the toilet elevates the bathroom from ordinary to extraordinary. While many bathrooms may share the same style toilet or the same wall color, the accessories allow you to add a personal touch. If the bathroom is masculine, adding something as simple as a rock-filled vase can make all the difference.
- Designing a bathroom isn't all about wall color and accessories. The budget also determines which direction your bathroom ideas might follow. If the sky is the limit, you could very well customize your own gold-plated toilet or install an unusual toilet paper holder. If you are following a strict budget, some of the most cost-effective design ideas for the bathroom are as simple as altering the wall color or choosing theme and color appropriate bath curtains. Bringing nature into the bathroom, such as a wicker basket filled with roses or pine cones, helps to keep costs down and adds an earthy scent to the room.
