Designing the perfect bathroom is a major part of building or renovating your home. As you make decisions between two vanities, a walk-in shower, and an indulgent soaking tub, keep these helpful tips in mind. They're sure to help create the oasis that will satisfy both style and function for years to come.

Bathroom Sinks & Vanities

If there's one luxury every homeowner desires, it’s a double vanity. After all, nothing quite beats having plenty of space to primp and prepare each morning — especially if you share the bathroom with another person. Two-person vanities will elevate any powder room to new heights of style and sophistication.

With beautiful bathroom vanities and sinks, your design possibilities are endless. As you dream up the perfect look for yours, consider all the details. From materials to sink layouts, make sure every detail is an expression of who you are as a homeowner – it's time to express all creativity.

Elevate Your Materials – The Marble Vanity

Add a timelessly sophisticated look to your bathroom with beautiful marble. Known for its exquisite beauty, marble can bring an elegant touch of history and charm to any space – but it does require some extra work. Consider whether you're up for the challenge before adding this classic material as part of your interior design plan.

For an airy, modern look in your bathroom, try a marble vanity that floats above the ground, accented with one large, framed mirror. To bring more of a rustic feel to this setup, combine it with dark metal accents alongside wood elements – you'll have an elegant yet balanced design.

Consider Above-Counter Sinks

If you're looking to make a unique statement in your bathroom and save counter space, vessel sinks could be the perfect fit for you. These above-counter lavatories come with their own splash of style that will elevate any décor. For petite bathrooms, especially, this type of sink is great, as it offers extra room beneath. Just remember to factor in some additional elevation when choosing faucets and vanities.

Create an incredible statement in your bathroom with a sophisticated blend of texture and color. Pairing a white vessel sink with a marble vanity is sure to make all who encounter it awe-struck.

Transform your bathroom from average to extraordinary with the subtle sophistication of brushed metal. From luxe gold, silver, and bronze tones, to edgy black – brush up on your vanity's style. Enjoy a look that will never go out of fashion while being super low maintenance; it's much less prone to fingerprints, so you'll always have an immaculate finish.

Bathroom Showers & Tubs

With a fresh home build, you have the opportunity to create your own personal oasis. Do you prefer an energizing shower or a relaxing soak? Builders provide choices between both – so get creative and make it yours.

Walk-In Shower with No Door

Turn your bathroom into a luxury spa with an elegant walk-in shower. No door frame to step over means easy access for children, pets, and older family members. Plus, the lack of a doorway results in less upkeep – perfect if you're looking for style without all the hassle.

Make your walk-in shower truly shine with the perfect tile choice. Whenever possible, use a consistent type of tiling throughout the bathroom floor and on designated shower walls. Go for larger tiles to create an illusion of space without compromising the style you desire.

Walk-In Shower with a Door

Enhance your shower experience without sacrificing style by installing large, sliding doors. Choose a design that speaks to you – from all glass for an airy, open feel, to modern metal embellishments, or even ombre glass with added privacy. Whatever door fits the bill in terms of creating your dream bathroom space – one thing is certain: it will be beautiful and chic.

Soaking Tub

Take self-care to the next level with a luxurious soaking tub. If you love long, relaxing baths and believe they never go out of fashion, this is an indulgence worth considering. Step away from those quick dips used for cleaning kids or pets – it's time to create your perfect home retreat just for yourself.

If you’re looking to add a touch of sophistication and modernity to your bathroom, you might consider an above-ground soaking tub. From classic clawfoots that pay homage to designs from days gone by all the way to glamorous freestanding models – there are plenty of beautiful options available.

Other Bathroom Fixtures

When it comes to designing your dream bathroom, the double vanity and walk-in shower or soaking tub are a great place to start. But don't forget those all-important finishing touches that will truly make this space your own.

Toilets

Perhaps you want to be more eco-friendly and modern in your bathroom. Consider hanging toilets as an option. Not only do they make a stylish statement, but you can trust that they will help to conserve water. When it comes to your bathroom, think about creating a unified look by selecting matching fixtures for the toilet. You could opt for one finish throughout or combine two styles in an intentional way to really bring some character into the room.

Towel Racks

Embrace the modern look and feel for your bathroom with one stylish trend: towel racks. These versatile pieces offer an effortless way to make a statement, while also taking advantage of the functional benefits. Experiment with placement heights or use multiple layers in unique patterns – you're sure to love this easy fix that adds maximum impact.

Bathroom Lighting

When it comes to décor, lighting is the key to transforming your bathroom from a small space of necessity into one that feels larger and more inviting. To get this effect just right, match up any wall or recessed lights with other fixtures in the room for an effortless look.
