Feminine Bathroom Design
Lingering in the bathroom is, of course, not a pastime exclusive to women, but, many jokes are made about just how much time a woman spends in this particular room. Whether the time spent is lengthy to perform the morning ablution or to perfect the application of the daily hair and makeup routine, well – face it, women just spend more time in this room then men.
A way to win a woman’s heart in the bathroom would involve painting the walls in a pretty pastel color with darker accent colors. Shades of rose, lavender and even blue trump any other bathroom colors, but trendier colors nowadays involve the use of a bolder or darker accent color to add interest to the room. Lighter colors in the bathroom are not only a testament to a more feminine color, but help to allow for better lighting. You can certainly pick a color for the bathroom based on the room’s size, shape and lighting, but why not rely on the expert opinion of an expert interior house painting contractor.
Lighter colors in the bathroom still may require the placement of additional lights to get makeup natural looking since most morning routines are done before sun-up. While the most-natural light is sunlight, the next best thing, during the weekday ritual anyway, would be to rely on the primary lighting in the bathroom, as well as layering in lighting such as the use of pendent lights, a small chandelier tucked into the corner, or sconces on either side of the vanity mirror. Some women prefer the vintage look of Hollywood-style lighting (clear light bulbs completely surrounding the perimeter of the makeup mirror) or swear by the newer LED recessed lights which are cooler to the touch and much more energy efficient. Whatever lighting that is eventually chosen, it should be the best lighting available within which to apply makeup properly to look as natural as possible and ensure there are no shadows from irregular or scant lighting.
If you are considering any remodeling or simply revamping the bathroom a bit to accommodate your needs, you might want to consider purchasing additional cabinetry for storage. The two areas of the home that are in desperate need of storage space are the kitchen and bathroom, the latter which finds its shelves groaning with linens and extra toiletries. With bathroom counter space often at a premium, if space permits, what woman wouldn’t like to have additional storage space to tuck everything away out of sight until it is needed?
A water paradise
The bathroom is the room to head to when you must seek refuge from the world after a brutal day in the workplace or tackling the rigors of family life, and, even more stress is heaped onto the poor woman who must attend to her work duties as well as family obligations like cooking, cleaning and child rearing. There has to be a solution and/or escape and the bathroom thus becomes a type of paradise for the modern-day woman.
While many women prefer to bask in the tranquil waters of a soaking tub away from the hustle and bustle of activity, still others enjoy the amenities of stepping into a shower stall with showerheads that will permit them either a gentle tropical raining trickling down their body or perhaps many pulsating needles guaranteed to knock out the knots at the back of the neck.
Whatever is your pleasure, there is a showerhead setting for you. If the bathroom is a master bath and shared by a significant other or a bathroom just for her, there are other options to make the bathroom a water paradise. Saunas, whirlpools or special over-sized showers or steam showers are just a few of the amenities available if you have the space to accommodate such features into your bathroom. If space permits, consider putting a huge soaking tub into a corner of the bathroom. They even come with sliding doors for total privacy, but why not just lock the door, scoot a small table close by to the tub and place a sweet-smelling candle, and a glass of wine atop it… oh yes, you so deserve it. If your bathroom is large, you might consider installing a vintage-style claw foot tub, just like your grandmother used to use back in the day. You can look around for a tall antique floor lamp and let the tub and floor lamp become the focal point of the bathroom, which will look best painted in cream or white with pale, wispy rose-colored touches on all accessories. Ahhh… bliss in the bathroom and you, too, can have it soon by consulting with a bathroom designer and then an interior house painter in Brentwood.
