    My shower door contractor gave us great advice just last week: there are two types of shower enclosure glass, clear and traditional green-blue (denoted by the color seen along a finished edge of a piece of glass). He said that cool neutral bathrooms look best with clear glass showers and warm natural color bathrooms look best with traditional green glass. I thought that was GREAT advice. And it reminded me that it's always good to ask your contractor what they think - they see it all, every finish & fixture from cheap to cutting edge - and trust me because of that they have MUCH better taste than we do! This applies to plumbers, painters, electricians. Just because they work in a trade does not mean they don't appreciate good design....they most *certainly* do appreciate beauty and they love to share their insights vis-a-vis good design.

      The contractors who did my bathroom decided that the light fixture should be above the sink and the vanity should be fitted into the wall and the wall board should be put right over the tile and brackets for the toilet paper holder and towel bars. I noticed light coming through the base of the shower from the basement because they had cut away a good bit of the floor the entire base supported below by a one inch wide aluminum strap. Cracked and had to be replaced. The electric heater is crooked. The mirror isn’t centered over the sink; the only outlet is behind a fixture I told them I was going to use for storage. They replaced the window with clear glass. I swear they must have been high. So many things to notice when held captive. And they weren’t the lowest bid. I know I know….I should have been more forceful. I didn’t want to make a fuss. To be fair the drywall (marine board) is flawless. Obviously their specialty. It’s better than it was. Forgive the rant. Having a Facebook fight with contractors who seem to think it’s okay to work high AND uninsured.

    To add more storage to our small bathroom, we installed a 6ft tall shelf in between the studs. It's about 4" deep - just wide enough to hold lots of bathroom products (ie. shampoo, mouthwash, prescriptions, etc.) We made a 18" wide barn door to cover it. It works really well and looks adorable.

    My teenie-tiny (5.5x6.5 foot) 1907 bathroom was remodeled last summer. It went from brown/beige, thick porcelain floor tiles in the shower and on the floor and backsplash to a white bathroom (white subway tile) with touches of gray marble and real wood white painted beadboard on the wall as a backsplash. It's a little jewel box that I love, love. It has a skylight as well, which really brings in light and character.

    #4 - a minor mistake that many (but not all) folks do: leaving the toilet seat up!
    It costs $0 to fix. Of course, it has to be important to family members.
    We replaced the builder-grade toilet SEATS with slow-close seats. No slamming seat lids anymore.
    After watching a few of those TH-cam videos of toilets being flushed with the seat closed vs. the seat open, well, that convinced several family members to put the seat down.

      _[I'll try to keep this short, otherwise I could go on like a crazy person about this topic.]_
      *_...cheering loudly from the sidelines...._*
      Oh....my....word..... *YES!*
      A toilet lid (or worse, the seat AND lid) left up / open is *_so bad_* on so many levels. I'll give you two:
      1) For the 36 people in North America who haven't heard yet, when you flush the toilet, bubbles are created and burst in the air, literally *covering everything in the vicinity with urine and fecal matter* if the lid's open;
      2) It looks like unholy heck! Seriously---a toilet lid left up looks like some greasy hillbillies live there who haven't bathed in months and who often just go on the floor because it's too much bother to get to the toilet. Just *UGH!*
      What utterly floors me is that people who leave toilets open would likely *never leave their kitchen cupboards open,* or their oven door, or their car doors when parked, or leave their trousers' fly open....or a hundred other odd, eyebrow-raising habits.
      Ugh---again. I still sound like a crazy person :(

We had to fix quite a bit to support the weight to bring the tile up to the ceiling. Also used a ceiling to floor shower curtain to add height. White wainscoting with a dark floral wallpaper for visual interest. 45in tall vanity mirror to make it tall too. Looks great!!

    Hazard of wall-mounted sink: For many years, I lived in a very spacious rental house built in 1912. Post WWII, it was converted into 5 apts. Mine was the 900 sf 1st floor. The bathroom had a colorful turquoise wall-mounted sink and matching tub. Having been a spacious back porch before the conversion, it was large. I'd noticed the crack on the wall beneath the sink but ignored it. After maybe 6 decades of use by many renters, while I was getting dressed one morning before work, the sink came off the wall as I was using it. Fortunately, I was able to hold it up and prevent the pipes from being torn out of the wall as well. I stood there, trying to save the pipes by holding the sink perpendicular, and surveyed the room for something to prop it up. I needed to let go without causing a disaster. I needed to be free to call the landlady and then go to work. Nearby, was a large rattan armchair and it appeared to be a good height for a prop. While holding the sink, I was able to wrap my foot around the leg to scoot it over to the sink. Yay team! It was the right height to support the sink! I called my landlady who had a little challenge comprehending the news the bathroom sink had fallen off the wall, but she was a peach and said she'd take care of it right away. She'd inherited the home which her parents subdivided after WWII, and loved taking care of it. I went to work and was just a few minutes late. The sink was reinstalled. I researched how to reinforce the sink and learned of leg kits for wall-mounted sinks, sold in hardware stores. $20 super simple solution. I'll never again have a wall-mounted sink.

    I love my tiny honeydew green bathroom, which is in the exact configuration as the dark bathroom with the striped shower curtain. Home circa 1945. With the window right in the center of the shower/tub and bright white tile 4X4. The one window faces east and it glows in the morning. When we make it ADA accessible, I plan for some light marble floors with a small border,. As a 60+ with arthritis, I'm toying with the idea of a step-in tub/shower or keeping it a apron tub and shower combo.

    I HATE wall mounted toilets and vanities in a full bath. It's okay in powder room. But, in a full bath you need storage in your vanity. Plus you have to clean under the toilet and vanity can't use the floor space be because it a streamlined look and a trash can will look weird. Those very wide and short niches are not very useful and will need to be cleaned as crud will build up in there easily. A taller narrower niche that can hold shampoo bottles is more practical.

    Thanks for another great video - this one is full of useful ideas I will come back to.
    One tip I'd like to add is about lighting and to think carefully about symmetry.
    I have a double basin in my bathroom and each basin has its own wall light above it. The whole assembly looks nice and is symmetrical, BUT the centres of the lights are further apart than the centres of the basins - so if I use the left basin the right side of my face is in shadow and if I stand at the right basin the left of my face is in shadow.
    When I get to re-doing my bathroom that's going to get fixed.

Maybe it is because I have rosacea and the green helps my skin in the mirror. 😆 I love the oversized mirrors you suggested though!

      I agree with you. My wife and I have painted nearly every room in our home a shade of green plus a sand / tan color in the living room. We love our “Avocado” shades throughout our home. With white trim and dark floors it really is starting to come together and looks nice. Maybe I missed the reason why “Never use green”. What is the reasoning behind this?

    Uh-oh. I begin watching this with fear and trepidation that I'll find I've done some of these NO-NOs. LOL. Love that green & white tile floor in the white bathroom. People really do tend to neglect the vertical space they have to use. I adore the shower that runs at the odd angle along the roofline. The large-mirror spaces you showed were all terrific. Sad to say, I have a tiny bathroom that I must find a single focal point for and follow your advice given here. Thanks.

    What I don't like about niches in the shower is that they're put in like it's a frame for a piece of art, when what it's really used for is showcasing shampoo bottles.

    A mistake I often see: wall lights above the mirror instead of on both sides of the mirror. Lights above means you shade your own face and it’s difficult to see the lower half of your face for details like make-up or shaving.

    • @be5952
      @be5952 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Totally agree.
      And, I'll add that to accomplish good light on the face, the old, out-of-style-twenty-years-ago 'Hollywood Mirror Lights' are still the best. (These are the ones that come in 'strips' with bare, usually frosted 'Snowball' style bulbs.)

    I feel like you *can* have dark if you really want it, but it takes a bit more effort and thought. You can totally do an entire bathroom in slate, or something similar, but do the whole room in it. Dark colors only make a room look larger if you do the whole room in them. Something like an accent wall, or a darker shower stall is going to chop up the space. If you really want dark, you have to commit to it. You also have to be super careful about the lighting. (You may also want a separate space like a dressing room or vanity table if you're someone who likes makeup.)
    I feel like the only thing you really have to avoid color-wise are medium tones. You can do super dark, or light. Anything in between is going to look dingy and dirty.

      My brother has always dreamed if having a bright orange bathroom to wake up to every morning, and it turned out a bit darker than I had hoped, but a white bathroom set with a black tribal print blended it right out. The orange is almost a neutral now!

      @@Nonsequitoria2010 I feel like you have a lot more flexibility in terms of bathroom design when you're designing for guys. (Husband and I are both guys.) When you don't have to worry about decent lighting for makeup application and such, you can go pretty out of the box with the design.
      I also feel like color is best either super bold, or very traditional. Ugly happens when people want to split the difference.

    OK I am here for one reason only, a bathroom (one of several but the only one that does not work well) that is small but is full. It will have to have a shower/tub combo. It has one sink but I want 2 and that is totally possible with plumbling redone. I want to put up mirrored medicine chests so that I do not need to add the amount of cabinetry needed for that bathroom which is connected to a nice-sized bedroom. By doing so, I add more floor space and with the mirrors, the room will look bigger. The medicine chests should have sliding "doors." The floor now has an awful off-white carpet which must be replaced. The shower/bath is the inexpensive vinyl and water pressure is awful as the other bathrooms used to be. I would like a clawfoot tub... if you can see under it with a tile floor, the room will become larger. I would like it to be white with maybe one wall a solid dark color. There is one wall that has a window to the back yard one floor down. Hooks on the wall for robes, towels. Cube-sized areas for towels from ceiling to floor. Perhaps free-standing sinks with flat counter in between and the corner set not for trash put for plunger and toilet necessities. I need to send a photo. I need a designer!

    Just finished my bathroom with black marble tile on floor and all the way up the walls. One greystone textured accent wall with black floating vanity with white top and vessel sink, 8'x7' walk-in shower fully enclosed with 12 fixtures and full-length niches with built-in lighting. 12 recessed lights in the ceiling and 3 wall mount sconces. Biobidet prodigy, heated floors, and towel warmer. Couldn't be happier with how modern and awesome it looks. Was afraid about all black all the way to the ceiling, but the accent wall, the vanity top, and the tons of lighting make it work perfectly. Plus the shower is an oasis - I can go in there, dim the lights and it feels like a secluded sanctuary.
