You are remodeling
your bathroom and you’re not sure how you want your bathroom to look. First
of all, pick an inspirational piece and use your design ideas around that
inspirational item.
Look at several elements such as texture, material, and color.
Look at several elements such as texture, material, and color.
When considering
texture, you should think about scale, light, and visual weight. These features determine how something feels,
whether it’s tactile or visual. Rough textures usually add weight to an
object, making the item feel more dense and cozy. While softer textures create a
lightweight, smooth impression.
A key component to
consider is material. A material can mimic some of the special characteristics
of another. A good example is the wooden-like tile floor in the image which is
actually made of porcelain made to look like wood. You can say you have wood for
your bathroom floor!
Lastly, choose the perfect
color scheme. Anticipate how you’d like to feel towards the space or object. Choosing
color temperature is choosing warm or cool colors. Darker tones such as grays
and blues tend to feel cool, fresh, and relaxing. While red, orange and yellow are
professed as warm, vibrant and energetic.
Look at the image
of the tile back-splash. There are a lot of fun patterns and textures, different
materials, and complementary colors all in harmony. The rough surface of the porcelain
represents sand on a beach, while the reflective glass is perceived as the
ocean. The tile has subtle hues of cool colors consisting of greens, blues,
greys, and white.
You have an awesome
tile, but what are you to do with it? Make sure to pair it with something
complementary. The hues of the tile are quite subtle, so my next step is to
match it with a contrasting and bold finish. For instance, metal, oil-rubbed bronze faucet
would warm up the space a little bit.
