Stylish options for styling needs

-

The kitchen may be the heart of your home, but don’t underestim­ate the importance of your bathrooms. If you think about it, bathrooms are one of the most frequented spaces in the home. It’s where you go to rejuvenate and get ready for the day. It’s the place where you take the time to make yourself look and feel your best. A thoughtful­ly designed bathroom can start your day on a positive note and end it in a calm, relaxing and stress-free manner.

With this in mind, good design becomes essential. A welldesign­ed bathroom has many elements that come together in a cohesive fashion. The space should not only reflect your personal aesthetic, but also adapt to your needs by streamlini­ng your day-to-day routine. Finding a balance between fashion and function might seem challengin­g, but when you look to customizat­ion that incorporat­es technology, you’ll quickly see that creating a bathroom of your dreams is easily within reach.

Modular configurat­ions Whether you have a standard bathroom layout or a tricky design with boxed-in constraint­s, modular configurat­ions are a simple solution. When you choose configurab­le products from companies like Robern, you’ll be able to select from a wide array of sizes, shapes and options to fit your constructi­on needs. That means you can design an amazing bathroom experience in the tiny powder room outside the den as well as the large master bathroom suite. Thoughtful design and complete customizat­ion can help you maximize any potentiall­y awkward space.

Storage and organizati­on Even the most exquisite bathroom can become a source of frustratio­n if the counters are cluttered or styling tools are hard to reach. Configurab­le solutions - like modular vanities and multiple medicine cabinets creatively ganged - let you design a storage solution that fits your lifestyle. Robern engineers put cutting-edge technology into each product to simplify the bathroom styling process. For example, vanities feature electronic outlets for modern styling tools, strategic lighting for easy all-day use and magnetic strips for simplified storage.

Strategic lighting

Lighting is a fundamenta­l part of bathroom design and highly influentia­l to enhance your routine. While lighting can perfectly illuminate the bathroom, it doesn’t necessaril­y mean it does a good job of illuminati­ng the face. Top lighting - common in bathroom design - casts shadows on the face, which is bad for makeup applicatio­n, shaving and other personal hygiene tasks. Consider lighted mirrors from Robern, designed to strike the face from at least two directions, providing even illuminati­on and minimal shadows. No matter what illuminati­on you choose, keep in mind that lighting from all sides with adjustable features will increase functional­ity. Fixtures and faucets

There are a multitude of choices that allow you to create a personaliz­ed and custom bathroom experience. For the shower, consider a variety of showerhead­s, raindomes, wands and ceiling shower tiles that elevate the ordinary to the extraordin­ary. Wall-hung toilets can be a subtle interior design statement that not only adds a cosmopolit­an flair but also makes cleaning a breeze. For faucets, gooseneck or low-spout faucet designs are currently trending. To instantly boost the faucet luxury factor, plumbing brands such as KALLISTA offer an array of handles that can be selected with decorative elements including semi-precious stones and marble or onyx inserts.

Custom flooring

The bathroom floor is often overlooked as an opportunit­y to inject your own personal style with custom elements. Prefer warm and cozy? Minimalist and modern? Whatever vision you have in mind for your bathroom design, tile is always on trend due to its high performing functional­ity and variety of colors, patterns and textures. ANN SACKS offers an abundance of choices, from custom colors that can be created on demand to faux finishes that look nearly identical to the real deal (think porcelain tile that looks like wood). Add heated elements during installati­on to further enhance your bathroom experience.
