BATHROOMS

THRONE OF KINGS AND QUEENS

Let’s talk about your 

style 

The bathroom is your zen space. It's where you go to unwind and unload. Whether you're installing a brand-new bathroom or updating an existing one, you'll want to understand the full range of bathroom styles available before the first tile is laid. With the “Remodeling Impact Report” from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® pegging the national median cost of a bathroom remodel at $30,000, you’ll want to make sure you get maximum comfort, convenience, enjoyment — and RESALE VALUE when the time comes to sell.

It’s always cool to be up on trends, but we say make your bathroom an exception. It’s your sanctuary — it should be soothing and filled with light.

That doesn’t mean it has to be boring. In fact, it’s a good idea to include a painted wall surface for an easily changeable dash of coordinating color. Non-permanent items, such as artwork and antique mirrors, add beaucoup personality.

But permanent surfaces — ceramic tile and fixtures — need quiet, calm neutrals. White, beige, and gray are favorites. In fact, the NKBA says gray is the trendiest color for baths these days, so you win on two fronts, for now.

“A neutral color palette really is safe, especially in terms of resale value,” says NKBA’s Petrie. “You can always be expressive with colorful towels or curtains, things that are less expensive and easier to change than more permanent features.”

Plus, lighter colors help bounce light around, helping you see what a fantastic bathroom you’ve put together.

If you're looking to keep it simple with your bathroom design, you may want to consider a classic or traditional style. Defined by no-fuss elements like clean lines and muted colors such as white, gray and beige, traditional bathroom design can be timeless and is unlikely to negatively impact resale value.

On the other end of the spectrum, modern bathroom design often incorporates vibrant colors, contrasting textures and angular fixtures to put an updated twist on traditional bathroom style.

Similarly, an eclectic bathroom style may combine seemingly dissimilar elements—like ornate mirror frames, a claw-footed tub and bold, geometric tile patterns mixed with more traditional fixtures—creating a fun approach that exudes personality.

For a more countrified, rustic style, you may want to experiment with "bringing the outside in" via raw or reclaimed wood for cabinets, tub enclosures or mirror frames, and other natural elements like plants.

Conversely, you can create a bathroom that hearkens back to a more romantic era by incorporating vintage elements like tufted seats, ornate lighting fixtures and elegant cabinet designs.

Let’s talk about your

vanity

Togetherness is a beautiful thing, but in the master bath, you’re church and your partner’s state. Establish your individuality without losing your bond with a large (38-inch or more) sink ($350 to $1,200). One big sink saves more counter space than two, and still lets you both wash up simultaneously.Spec an undermount sink to go with your quartz countertop — undermounts have no protruding lip and help make cleanup a snap. The perfect companion to quartz countertops, undermount lavatory sinks are the preferred choice of 87% of respondents to a 2013 survey from the NKBA, and have been for several years.

athroom vanity styles have evolved considerably over the hundred years or so since indoor plumbing took its rightful place in home design. From simple, traditional styles to elegant, spa-like installations, bathroom vanities come in an almost limitless variety of sizes, materials and price ranges.

In general, a bathroom vanity is defined as the combination of a mirror or mirrors, one or more sinks, a counter top, and usually some form of storage for accessories, linens or other bathroom necessities.

Style-wise, bathroom vanities run the gamut from traditional or even romantic designs—for example, a cabinet topped by a sink and featuring storage via drawers or shelving, paired with an ornate mirror—and sleeker, more contemporary approaches that may incorporate granite countertops, double sinks and minimalist, midcentury modern drawers.

For a more traditional look, many homeowners browse antique stores, flea markets and vintage online retailers for the perfect vanity, mirror or countertop. If your style leans more modern, most home improvement stores will have vanity solutions to suit a sleeker design.

oasis

We love natural stone, but in this battleground of soaps, lotions, pastes, and poultices, we prefer the impervious beauty of synthetic, low-VOC quartz.

“Consumer Reports” testing gives the edge to quartz over granite, citing quartz’s ability to resist stains and abrasions. It’ll look good year after year. Plus, the surface is so impervious bacteria can’t lodge in it. 

Quartz countertop material is a synthetic composite made up of about 90% quartz particles held together with binders. It’s virtually maintenance-free —  it never needs to be sealed — and comes in dozens of styles and colors. If you’re stuck on the idea of stone, many quartz versions mimic the real thing.

Quartz runs $40 to $100 per square foot, installed (about the same as granite, although some varieties of granite get very pricey).
