Ideas for a Bathroom Addition

Adding on a bathroom to a house can provide a boost in its resale value, as well as relieve a bottleneck for the house's occupants. A new bathroom can open up a world of ideas; consider these when adding a bathroom to your home.

Add a Contemporary Style Bathroom

Add a taste of luxury to your home with a new bathroom in a contemporary style. Select tile flooring such as slate and a bathroom sink made from a glass or pottery bowl for a sophisticated and stylish look. In addition, sleek brass or metal fixtures add a polished look.

A Comfortable, Homey Bathroom

For a bathroom that is welcoming, consider using homey colors such as browns and warm reds or oranges. Select counters and fixtures in a classic style and add a thick throw rug for extra comfort.

A Bathroom Based on Your Style

Instead of following the design trends, look at your own life for inspiration. Do you enjoy traveling? Decorate the bathroom with an airplane or travel theme, and include a framed map as part of the decor. Like plants? Select wallpaper in a botanical style and incorporate the colors in the design.

An Outdoor Bathroom or Shower

Add a surprise to the new bathroom with an outdoor shower. Add a door to the interior that opens out to the shower, where you can get back to nature while still getting clean. Consider adding a roof or awning over the top for a more modest effect.
