Bath Fitter: Re-create the Look (Part 1)

Gone are the days when bathrooms were strictly utilitarian. They now offer so much more than necessities. Bathrooms have become at-home retreats that resemble personal spas. Our favorite looks will inspire your next bathroom remodel.

We spend a lot of time in our bathrooms, and it's only natural to want to update them yearly. Updating a bathroom can be as simple as replacing worn-out fixtures. A tasteful update can increase your home's value significantly. Today, we're focusing on our favorite bathroom looks. With a bit of patience and DIY finesse, you can re-create some of the looks—most of which don’t require hire a contractor.

Traditional Bathroom

Traditional bathrooms are all about timeless shapes, patterns, and decor. A traditional bathroom is comfortable without being extravagant. It's all about elegant, understated design. Natural accents—a wood vanity, wainscoting, and bathtub accessories—add warmth to the natural color palette.

When designing a traditional bathroom, choose exciting pieces that add a feeling of timelessness. Avoid sleek and modern items. Add character and charm through details from past eras, like wood paneling and marble countertops, which create visual interest and design depth.

Bath Fitter® offers a traditional bathroom made up of a dreamy shower-and-tub combo that merges form with function. The walk-in shower adds function and a sense of luxury to the space. Its glass walls create an airy look worthy of a fancy spa. The built-in shower caddy completes the area with a curved spot perfect for shaving legs. Like our bathroom, your minimalist bathroom mustn't be completely white. Minimalist style can be as bold as you are—you just have to choose the correct elements.

You can opt for a darker hue and create lines and dimension with floor tiles and lighting fixtures. If you want a quick update, upgrade the focal points,like the lighting fixtures. These are easy to upgrade and can make a world of difference.

Transitional Bathroom

The transitional look never goes out of style. Seamlessly uniting old and new techniques, it features clean lines but isn't contemporary and cold. Often, the design elements are from adjacent eras, where one prevalent design gives way to another. Bath Fitter's transitional bathroom is full of natural light and shines the spotlight on the classic elements in the room.

Minimalist Bathroom

Minimalism has been having a moment over the past few years. It's all about essential elements, sleek and simple lines, using blocks of color, and repeated geometric forms. It's a popular choice for small spaces because the bare essentials can be used to create a simple, uncluttered space.

Bath Fitter's minimalist bathroom combines sleek fixtures and subdued décor to create a comfortable space.The shower's glass enclosure visually extends the area, while its white background gives the nod to minimalism. A simple, attractive vanity is all it takes to spruce up this minimalist bathroom. Plants and neatly folded towels add luxurious touches. Hidden storage keeps things tidy and functional

Southwestern Bathroom

A southwestern bathroom reflects a relaxed, elegant style connected to the centuries-old fusion of cultures that make the American southwest unique. It combines a desert landscape's beauty and a ranch home's warmth. The Mexican and Spanish roots of the southwestern region greatly influence the style. It's bolder yet remains simplistic.

Geometric patterns, organic plants, and earthy pastels add character to our favorite southwestern bathroom. Charming and earthy beige tiles on the floor and the backsplash make the vanity stand out beautifully.

The tile wainscoting pairs well with the white walls and the wood elements. Southwestern art pieces and metals complete the look.

Tropical Bathroom

Tropical bathrooms often feature bright and bold designs and decor. They bring the outdoors in via live plants and flowers. The spaces employ an overall aesthetic that recalls the laid-back elegance of a tropical vacation paradise.

Lush greens give life to this tropical bathroom. Rattan and wood pieces create a connection to the outdoors. The vanity, shelf, curtain, and bathmat complement each other with their brown hue.

A white bathtub with brown shower curtains is between floral green wallpaper that has green wood paneling halfway up the wall. The mood board shows a bronze-rimmed mirror, a metal wall light, and leafy floral wallpaper.

Brown is earthy, warm, and inviting; it represents nature and beautifully highlights the green wallpaper. Color is a crucial component in a tropical bathroom. Many homeowners choose cool colors like bright whites or light creams as base colors.

Bold colors—natural greens, yellows, and blues—are often used as accents. They may appear throughout the design to mimic the vibrant colors found in the tropics.
