The bathroom in your house might be on the little side, but it packs a significant punch when it comes to the overall design of your home’s interior. It is important to pay close attention to the bathroom’s design since even the smallest of details can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the style you’ve worked so hard to establish in other parts of your home.

The interior design professionals  believe that the layout of a bathroom should be favorable to the room’s utility, which includes grooming, bathing, getting ready for the day, and getting ready for sleep, in addition to its visual appeal as a pleasant and quiet environment. However, one of these outmoded design ideas will prevent these goals from being accomplished:

Let it be wood.

The use of wooden beams on the ceiling of a room can give it a warm and homey appearance; nevertheless, this type of ceiling is not the greatest choice for a bathroom. Wood is renowned for absorbing moisture, which not only causes it to swell but also, in the long run, leads to the growth of mold and mildew on the surface of the wood. Therefore, if

your bathroom does not have sophisticated ventilation, hardwood beams are not the greatest option for the ceiling. If you’re concerned that you won’t be able to adjust to the lack of natural warmth that wood imparts in the bathroom, consider investing in a teak shower seat. Designers point out that teak is resistant to mold and moisture, in addition to having a lifespan of more than ten years.

Bathtubs takeover. 

It may have been a desirable addition to a bathroom a few years ago to have a large Jacuzzi tub installed there, but now days it’s seen as something that takes up too much area, uses too much water, and requires too much maintenance. If the goal is to make the bathtub the primary focus of the room’s decor, choose an ordinary-looking model but paint it an unexpected color and give it unusual-looking hardware. One more helpful hint: Install wallpaper with a one-of-a-kind design behind the bathtub.

White is everything.

Although decorating your entire bathroom in white, from the walls to the floor tiles to the towels, might provide the illusion of more space and freshness, doing so also demands an excessive amount of maintenance and attention to detail in order to maintain it looking its best. The stark appearance, according to designers, can give the impression that the object is delicate and chilly. The addition of color in a variety of textures is an easy remedy that can be applied to this unspoiled environment. Consider towels in a cheery shade of blue, ceramics and plants in a soothing shade of green, or a floor mat with a variety of colors. Include some earth tones in your design scheme if you truly adore a neutral aesthetic by using elements like stone-colored linens or an accent wall painted in earth tones.

Extravagant Vanities.

Ornate millwork in the bathroom, unless you live in a historical home, is considered by interior designers to be out of date. Change it out with an alternative that is simpler and more streamlined, such as a shaker or flat-front type.
