Time to Update Your Outdated Bathroom With a Spa-Like Design

Sometimes older homes are hidden gems that can turn into your dream home. 

As your house hunting for your forever home, you may find yourself falling in love with an older, established home rather than a newly built modern home. There’s something about the charm and character of an older home that makes it undeniably appealing. You see the potential it holds to become your forever home. While the charm and character provide you that warm and fuzzy feeling of home, you’ll most likely need to do some updating to truly make it feel like your dream home. 

One of the first rooms you’ll want to update is the primary suite bathroom. Most older homes have small, cramped bathroom spaces and they need some TLC to reach their spa-like potential. This means removing walls or adding a small addition to the bathroom space. Adding a little extra room or reconfiguring your bathroom layout will allow you to have more storage space, more breathing room for you to comfortably walk around, or connect your closet or dressing areas to your bathroom space.

Once you’ve opened up your bathroom layout, it’s time to set the mood for your bathroom design. To give your bathroom that light and airy feeling, you’ll want to choose soft tones of greens, blues, grays, whites, and off whites to create a spa-like ambiance. These soft tones would be perfect options for your floor tile, shower tile, backsplash tile, accent tiles or wall color. To complement the soft color tones, you’ll want to choose natural wood tones for your cabinetry with light-colored countertops.

Another design element you’ll want to  include in your bathroom redesign is a wet room. While wet rooms are not a new design style, they're becoming increasingly more popular for luxury bathroom designs. Wet rooms allow you to feel like you’re coming home to your private oasis. In your wet room design, you’ll want to  include a free-standing tub, a bench, steam shower capabilities, multiple showerheads, and a rain head shower head. To complete your luxurious wet room design, adding chandelier lighting is a must-have for increased luxury.

With this level of luxury, you’ll never want to leave your bathroom. Whenever you have a stressful day, you can come home and unwind in your spa-like retreat. When it's time to get dressed in the morning, you’ll wake up happier as you walk into your bathroom because it feels like a little slice of heaven.
