Designing a Loft-Style Bathroom

Lofts are very trendy in the contemporary interior design world. You can incorporate some of the components of this industrial look into traditional homes as well. Just start with your bathroom and break down its barriers for a sleek and open-space vibe. Here are some tips to help you create a loft-style bathroom:

Layout
There are a variety of ways for you to make the layout of your bathroom resemble a loft. You can remove the wall that it shares with your master bedroom. This will make your sleeping and bathing quarters feel like one complete space. If you need a bit of privacy, add short partitions between the rooms. Or you can incorporate decorative panels into the space. Try adding these panels or mini walls inside the bathroom as well. You can use them around your vintage tub and save the extra area in the room for lounge furniture.

Tub
Even though lofts are contemporary in style, you can still blend vintage elements with the modern aesthetic. For example, opt for a clawfoot tub instead of the standard built-in unit. It will serve as the perfect focal point in your open layout. The claw feet also work with industrial design because they come finished in vibrant metal treatments like polished chrome or oil-rubbed bronze.

Antique Bath Fixtures
Don’t forget about matching bath fixtures. Lofts often have exposed plumbing, and so do clawfoot tubs. Choose between floor- or deck-mounted styles.

Pedestal Sink
This type of sink also has an industrial vibe to it. The basin is streamlined, which fits in with the minimalism of a loft-style room.

Freestanding Shower
You can also install a freestanding shower with glass walls and oversized rain shower heads. And for a bit of luxury, pick up a few jets to install around the perimeter of the unit.
