Bathroom
The most exciting trend I saw at this year’s show in Atlanta was wallpaper-like tile and the new possibilities it affords designers. With large-format thin slabs, tile is taking over walls from floor to ceiling. We’ve seen this in action with digitally printed porcelain that looks like natural stone or wood, and we’ve seen it used mostly in bathrooms. But the latest collections offer a variety of patterns and murals suitable for any room. These slabs from Cotto d’Este are about 3¼ feet wide by 10 feet high and only about an eighth of an inch thick.
Give something old a new life. Farmhouse charm oozes from this antique family storage unit that a Georgia couple repurposed as bathroom storage. The coat of seaweed-green paint updates its aged finish and makes it stand out against the tan and white colors surrounding it. The cabinet also keeps with farmhouse style by having open shelves on the upper part. Here the couple displays family photos right alongside fresh towels.

Pair your creamy white walls with a whiter color on the trim, ceiling and fixtures. The ivory-toned walls in this bathroom, for example, create a subtle contrast between the cooler white of the bathtub and surround. The effect in this rustic bathroom is a soft glow — something a paler or cooler white wouldn’t do. Wall paint: Muskoka Trail 974, Benjamin Moore; also try Linen White 912 or Glacier White AC-40, both Benjamin Moore; ceiling paint: White Dove, Benjamin Moore
Dragonfly Designs SaveEmail The bunkhouse bathroom features a walk-in shower with a galvanized-steel siding surround that was salvaged from an old barn. “The family absolutely loves this shower,” Medoff says. “Their only regret is that they didn’t add the same reclaimed siding to all of the showers in the house.”
It’s not only inside a suitcase that peshtemals offer a space-saving advantage. Consider that three of them consume the same amount of room as the typical terrycloth towel, and you can see why they’re a popular choice among studio apartment dwellers with limited storage. Plus, they look perfectly chic out in the open, so there’s no need to hide them away in a dedicated linen closet.
Outfit an existing cabinet with a pullout laundry bin, wire door storage and adjustable shelves. If you are planning a bathroom remodel, work with a bath designer to incorporate the features you want. Cost: About $150 to purchase a pullout laundry bin and door storage unit for an existing cabinet.

Retro metal tins can provide useful storage in a bathroom. A design like this red tin is an obvious choice for storing first-aid items, but a selection of vintage cake tins could work equally well stacked up, storing myriad items as well as adding a touch of character.
A tray table can provide useful, versatile storage in a bathroom to keep everyday items close at hand, and is easy to fold up or move when not required. This can work particularly well when guests are staying over, offering them a temporary surface on which to place their own toiletries.

Garden seats can also be a great solution for the shower — especially if you don’t have a built-in seat. It also gives you a surface for soaps, brushes or washcloths.

the painter made a mistake and painted all the walls the dark color. However, everyone in the family fell in love with how it looked. The large mirror, semiopen wood vanity, patterned floor tile, white shower surround and playful accessorizing all lightened things up.
