So I’m pressed for time, the demolition of both my main bathroom and master bathroom starts on July 10 and the electrician is coming July 12 to do all the wiring, this means I need to order my lighting ASAP. I’m installing wall sconces with shades in both bathrooms because I like the soft light from fabric shades the best.  If you have a steamy bathroom, fabric shades are not recommended, but I am willing to replace them if and when necessary. My master bathroom only has a tub, and I don’t bathe that often (though that might change when I have a new bathroom). I love to bathe, but I dislike our current bathroom so much that you’ll only find me in the bath if I’m sick, cold or really tired. I’m installing a thin round brass mirror in the master bathroom with sconces on both sides. I really liked this 34″ mirror from Lamps Plus (above) because the frame was more visual but it’s sold out (and deleted from their site so more is not on the horizon). Probably because Kate from Centsationa...

I think it’s safe to say we can all recognize a luxurious bathroom when we see it. Whether it’s because a bathroom is unusually spacious, decorated with expensive materials, stylish accent details or filled with light, our intuition tells us there’s something luxurious about it. But what exactly are the defining elements of luxury bathrooms? Lots of space. View in gallery A bathroom that’s as spacious as this one is inevitably luxurious, regardless of its design. But there’s more to this than just square footage. A bathroom can create the illusion of space by being minimalist and employing strategic features . Great views. View in gallery Because bathrooms are usually small and don’t have large windows either because of the lack of space or for privacy reasons, the views from here are almost in existent. So when a bathroom has such huge windows and wonderful views, it stands out as being luxurious. Marble walls. View in gallery Luxurious bathrooms feature natural materials on their w...

I’ve seen some unfortunate bathrooms in my time as an interior designer. The ones that require the biggest overhaul and investment are those that lacked planning for important things like adequate lighting, ventilation and plumbing. Before you think about the colour of your tiles and the latest shower screen , consider the fundamentals. Take time to plan the space. Establish where your electrics will go, siting the extractor fan and your high-level and mid-level lighting. Plan your plumbing and underfloor heating. Lastly, factor in ample storage – my mantra, you can never have too much storage. With some clever advice from the experts, your bathroom will be a sanctuary. Here are my top tips for a better bathroom: 1. Keep a bath if you can. The bath is often the first thing omitted when people consider a re-design of their bathroom space . Installing a bath/shower is one solution, but you could also try freeing up space for a stand-alone bath by changing the way the bathroom door opens...
