In recent years, interior designers and homeowners have been embracing a more lived-in aesthetic, adding softness and personalization to spaces traditionally known for their minimalism and function. This trend has extended to bathrooms, where designers are now creating cozy vignettes and lounges to enhance the experience of waking up early and making the space feel more like a boutique hotel. Here are some ideas on how to achieve this transformation.
Add Functional Furniture Liz Williams Interiors / Emily Followill Introducing functional furniture to your bathroom can significantly elevate its ambiance. Designer Liz Williams of Liz Williams Interiors transformed an unused nook in her bathroom into a sophisticated space for makeup and accessories. She repurposed an existing desk, changing its color to match the wallpaper, creating a vanity that adds both style and functionality. Bring Seating to the Center Hawk & Co/ Chad Mellon Seating options like chaise lounges or ottomans can make your bathroom feel more inviting. Interior designer Summer Jensen of Hawk & Co suggests utilizing the center space, often left empty due to plumbing, for a chaise lounge or an ottoman. This not only provides a place to relax but also adds a practical element for towel storage or drying off children. Build a Vanity Danielle Rose Design Co Maximizing space is crucial in smaller bathrooms. Danielle Rose Co designed a bathroom that makes every inch count by building a custom vanity outside the shower. This vanity not only provides ample storage for makeup but also adds an elegant, personalized touch to the space.
