All you want at the end of the day is to relax and soak in a hot bath, but your current bathroom offers a tub the size of a teacup and feels dated. Bathroom design options have come a long way from the cramped facilities of the '50s and '60s.
Dipped in pastel colors with fixtures that seem as if they were designed for children, older bathrooms can make even the simplest nightly routine a chore due to their lack of functionality for the modern lifestyle. Modern homeowners will no longer settle for a bathroom that just serves a discreet purpose. Modern homeowners want bathrooms that offer space, style, and comfort.
Bathroom Interior Design--The Next Generation
Modern bathroom interior design focuses heavily on incorporating warmth, style, and functionality in equal measures. Designers will often look at adjacent space and consider the possibility of losing space in one room to add space to the small bathroom. They view the room as a potential retreat and design with that in mind. By adding storage space, square footage, and modern fixtures built for real people, bathroom interior designers can take your bathroom out of its time warp and into the new millennium.Bathed In Style--Fixture Design Options
Most fixture companies now offer tubs that are deeper and stay within the linear footprint of the older home. They come in a variety of colors, offer jet and whirlpool options, and can be purchased in fiberglass, which makes them much easier to install. The same can be said for modern sink options. You are no longer limited to a pedestal or drop-in. With beautiful basin designs that look like bowls perched atop a table, designers can turn side tables into counter tops. Endless design options offer modern homeowners limitless possibilities for turning a dated bathroom into a timeless retreat.Source
