How to Design a Luxurious Secondary Bathroom
At Magnolia Homes, we make every detail of our homes feel like the most important detail. We are firm believers that even the ordinary spaces, like secondary bathrooms, deserve an extra dose of luxury. Today, we’re giving you a few tips in designing a remarkable secondary bathroom for your home!
Choose Elevated Materials
Materials make all the difference and set the tone for luxury! The first step in designing a luxurious secondary bathroom is to consider the elements you want to use in this room. We recommend using tile with a bit of personality, sleek countertops, plumbing fixtures that inspire awe, and a bit of texture to contrast yet tie the space together! Layering texture and tone will create dimension and harmony throughout the space.
Bring in Beautiful Lighting
A good bathroom is only as good as its lighting! Providing both style and function, lighting is necessary for a luxurious secondary bathroom. To accomplish this, consider adding sconces on either side (or within!) the mirror, a stunning statement light, additional can lights, or a combination of the three! A layered lighting approach makes the space feel warm and inviting.
Don’t Forget the Details
Small touches can make a big impact! Beveled mirrors, detailed cabinet hardware, special trim work, and even opulent towel rings can turn a basic bath into a boutique-like retreat! We also recommend adding a pop of color through paint or wallpaper for a little added personality! Small accents that leave a lasting impression.
Focus on Functionality
A secondary bath should work just as hard as it looks good! Contemplate the purpose of this bathroom – will it be used for seasonal guests or will it be the bathroom your children share each day? This will help align with your goals in making this room functional! When building your home, think of adding ample storage with cabinetry and linen closets (a Magnolia staple) into your secondary bathrooms like we do at Magnolia Homes!
Keep It Cohesive
Something we always consider when designing a secondary bathroom: how does it flow with the home’s overall design? We use finishes and colors that complement our primary bathrooms (without upstaging it!), as well as the main living spaces so everything feels intentional and cohesive.
A thoughtfully designed secondary bath not only adds comfort and convenience but also enhances the overall value and appeal of your home! With these tips, you can build the home of your dreams with intentional design in every single bathroom!
