From protecting your home against water damage to laying the foundation for the style and design of the space, your bathroom tile has a more important job than you may realize.

6 Upgrades Every Bathroom Should Have Considering how much time the average person spends in the bathroom, you’d think we’d pay more attention to how it looks. But if you’re anything like me, you decorate it once when you move in, then promptly forget about it as you tweak and shape the rest of the home. What starts out as a stylish space devolves into one that’s just serviceable, which is why nearly every guest bathroom I’ve been in has a bowl of dust-covered soaps and grids of mildewed caulk. Thankfully, keeping the powder room looking as spiffy as the rest of the house is fairly simple and doesn’t have to blow your budget. As interior designers point out, it boils down to making certain upgrades that have major visual and textural impact. Here are some improvements to consider: Lighting A bathroom is only as good as its lighting, so you’ll want to invest extra time to get yours just right. A mirror or two is a must, especially if your space isn’t exactly overflowing with natural...

Measuring and experimenting with different layouts and planning meticulously definitely pays off when it comes to bathroom design. The requirements of a small en suite or cloakroom will be very different from those for a big family bathroom so keep in mind the number of people using the room and when. Sketching a scale plan will help to plot a rough layout: remember to include immovable features such as doorways, windows or chimneybreasts. In any bathroom project, it’s important to think about the focus of a room and where to place everything to make the best use of the space. Plan your heating and lighting early , too, as these will need to be installed before the flooring and sanitaryware. Other things to consider are water pressure, your hot water system and where the soil stack is situated, which will affect your plumbing choices and where to place fixtures and fittings. If installing a wet room, where the shower water drains away through a tiled floor, flooring will also need...

When it comes to bathroom design, shower tile is one area where you don’t normally see a lot of versatility. In fact, shower tiles are something that most people probably don’t see the point in putting a lot of thought into. With that being said, most people will simply go with a light-colored tile, and call it a day. However, for design lovers everywhere, it’s no secret that the ‘small’ details are just as important as anything else, and the color of your shower tile might be something worth putting a little more time into. With that being said, black shower tile is something you don’t normally see every day. In most bathrooms, black is usually not present at all, as light colors are typically favored in this space. However, black shower tile can be the perfect sleek addition to your bathroom, and can help give the room a classic and luxurious feel. Also, one of the cool things about using black is that it can go with any color, and it can blend it well regardless of you...

This bathroom renovation from interior designer Lori Pepe -Lunché is the most dramatic transformation to come our way in a long time. The dark, heavy, cavelike “before” is my idea of a bathroom nightmare . Even if this room were spic n’ span, it would feel unpleasant. Now that doesn’t mean a bathroom needs to be white and light to be appealing, but there’s just no denying that this is a vast improvement. I love the open layout and the exposed, seamless shower design ; not only does it make the room feel spacious and airy, but it also prevents any chance for clutter (which is my biggest obstacle in the bathroom). Make no mistake: a large renovation with marble tile is an investment. But results like these seem well worth it. Amazing work, Lori! —  Kate Have a Before & After you’d like to share?
