Bathrooms
1. Assess how much space you have. There are no fixed rules regarding how big a master bathroom should be, but the latest trends suggest that they are getting bigger and more luxurious. These new luxury en suites, which often occupy an entire room adjoining the bedroom, are being designed as sumptuous retreats for more than one person to use at a time. They often boast double walk-in showers, two sinks, partitioned areas for a toilet and maybe even a bidet, dressing areas, and somewhere to sit and chat. Many also feature entertainment facilities, such as televisions and sound systems. Potential cost: A luxury en suite bathroom can cost $30,000 to $40,000.Size: It can be the size of a small bedroom, about 34 square feet or larger.
Keep It SimpleTextured, cabin-inspired elements can add a laid-back coziness to your interior. But incorporate too many and your home can quickly go from chic to shed-like. Opt for clean lines and a pared-back approach to elevate a rustic design. Try using one rustic element, such as weathered stone or wood, as the focal point and then keep the other features simple and sleek. Reclaimed-wood-effect veneer, for instance, takes center stage in the bathroom seen here. Its distressed texture is tempered by a neatly appointed vanity with a vessel sink, crisp edges and unfussy industrial accents. Polished concrete flooring grounds the space.Tip: For a rugged wood look in spaces prone to moisture, consider a wood-effect veneer. A practical concrete-based alternative, it won’t warp like real wood.As with all home design, it’s important to add your personal stamp. If you want to go a bit more “mountain chalet,” incorporate more rustic elements. For just a dash of alpine aesthetic, stick more closely to contemporary designs. Either way, you’ll create the modern rustic home that’s ideal for you.This story was written by the Houzz Sponsored Content team.
