W hile bathrooms may be one of the to get right. There are so many design elements that need to be considered and I am going to give you my simplified version of how I begin the design process! 1) Begin with your colour palette, keeping in mind that colours can have a profound impact on our moods: • Your colour palette can be determined by zeroing in on spaces that you tend to gravitate towards, by drawing smallest spaces in our homes, I also feel they are one of the most difficult spaces inspiration from your surroundings (nature’s colour combinations will never let you down) or even objects. • Sticking to a maximum of three colours is a good rule of thumb.

2) Vary the size of your tile: • Using the same sized tile on your floors and shower walls can lead to a bathroom that falls flat and seems, dare I say…builder basic. • Don’t forget about your grout colour and even the width of your grout lines. Grout has the power to make a big statement or create the illusion of one large piece of tile. 3) If you can do it, invest in a custom vanity: • This alone will make your bathroom unique and more tailored to you.

4) Don’t be afraid to mix your metal

D esign has always been an escape for Sara Dykerman. “In all of my designs, my main goal is to ultimately change the way you feel about your home and how your home makes you feel when you are in it.

finishes, this adds interest to our spaces: • Balance your tones (warm vs. cool). • Mixing two different metal finishes is pretty safe. 5) Scale, make sure your lighting and mirrors are portioned to the vignette below (most often we scale too small). 6) Finally, thoughtful and functional decor pieces are what will give your bathroom that polished and personal touch you are striving for (less is always more).
