“Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style.”

• Billy Baldwin

Just like the underlying statement in the above quote states, designing your home depends completely on your taste and preferences. Every room has its own story and the brilliance of interior decor is that it can flawlessly express it. Bathrooms, like any other room in your home, need equal importance while designing, if not more! Emphasize on every little detail, starting from the color palette to the quality of the fixtures you buy. Speaking of colors, most homeowners are often confused as to which shade would define their space the best. If you are struggling with the same, simply go for white or a combination of neutral tones. When designed correctly and maintained properly over time, white bathrooms can give a premium appeal to your place. 

To help you efficiently design your utility space, our experts have drafted some key factors to consider. But first, let’s take a look at the benefits of having a white bathroom.

Advantages Of White Bathrooms

White usually has several benefits over any other shade in the color palette when it comes to modern bathroom designs. Some of these are as follows:

• A white bathroom usually looks cleaner and shinier when maintained properly.
• It creates an open and airy feel in your place, making it look spacious and elegant.
• White and neutral shades come under timeless trends that you can never go wrong with.
• Any dirt on white surfaces is easier to spot, thus, you can easily clean these spaces and maintain hygiene in your bathroom.

Generally, styles and preferences of home designing keep changing from time to time. However, one aspect that has remained intact over the years is the white bathrooms. Whether you want an embellished bathroom or a minimalist one, white is easily the best suitable shade for every interior style. Infact, if any color deserves to be crowned as timeless, it must be white. However, going white doesn’t mean your place needs to be equipped with all plain white fixtures and fittings. Play around with your space and see the difference for yourself. Here are some useful expert tips that can assist you in designing an elegant and functional bath space.

How To Design A White Bathroom

Flooring & Tiles

When designing a white bathroom, start with the flooring. Choose white tiles or marble floors with simple grainy designs, flowing nerve-like patterns, or minimal geometric patterns. The little patterns will add a modern style to the place as the white shade creates a clean, open feel. Make sure to align the rest of the decor with the flooring style. Otherwise, your place might just end up looking disoriented or incomplete.

Fixtures & Fittings

White toned fixtures and fittings never goes out of trend! Thus, it is a safe way to design your bathroom with white-toned fixtures. Buy a white ceramic wash basin, toilet seat, and modern bathtub that are built with stain-resistant properties. This makes cleaning and maintenance of your utility space easier. Complete the overall decor with steel or brass faucets, shower sets, towel holders, tissue holders, and so on.

Vanity Area

Having a white bathroom isn’t about installing all white fixtures. Especially while designing the vanity area, try infusing a little dimensions to the place. For instance, mount an earthy toned vanity unit, multi-functional LED mirrors or add some floral or green leafy decorations. The green plants will increase the level of fresh air in the space while making an eye-pleasing style statement.

Miscellaneous

Apart from the white-themed fittings, other aspects like lighting plays a crucial role in giving that final eye-appealing look and feel in your bathroom. A minimum of IP45 rated lighting fixtures are most preferable for bathroom spaces where they are in constant touch with moisture and water. A combination of recessed ceiling lights and wall lighting fixtures is the ideal choice if you’re looking to create a minimalist space. Or you can make your space a little extravagant by installing lavish ceiling mounts. This especially looks good if you have a high ceiling.

If you want to separate your bath space from the rest of the utility space, it’s best to go for glass panels. They will give you the desired division of space without creating any visual obstructions. Thus, making your bathroom look spacious.

Rounding Off!

Generally, when you decide to go for a white bathroom, your choices become less complicated. You don’t necessarily have to keep hovering upon matching colors and there’s a little chance of getting it wrong. When designed correctly, a white bathroom can give a flawless impression of a calm, peaceful zone in your home.
