Check out our detailed review of Restoration Hardware vanities to help you narrow down your choices. Our furniture reviewer spent hours in their showroom in Austin, Texas testing each vanity to see how durable it is and carefully checking the style that would go best with each piece.

Designing your new home interiors can be a challenge. Even though many furniture retailers provide eCommerce shopping experiences, purchasing a piece of sight unseen can be a crapshoot. How can you ensure that you're happy with the piece in person as you are on the website? Online shopping is supposed to make it easier for busy consumers, but there are some things that you really can't choose without knowing what it really is like in person.

You're in luck because I'm here to help you avoid taking that trip to the showroom!

Restoration Hardware is a high-end furniture retailer with showrooms around the country. They specialize in high-end, design-minded consumers who are looking for high quality, custom pieces for their homes. RH employs experienced interior designers, who help consumers create the spaces of their dreams. As such, many of the pieces that they carry are highly customizable, giving consumers a variety of options to create a truly custom piece. In fact, many pieces are handmade to order.

To save you a trip and provide you with salient information about what the furniture looks like in person, I spent hours in the Restoration Hardware showroom in Austin, Texas. I spent hours to test each vanity in their showroom to provide you with information on how durable it is, what it really looks like in person, and what type of styling I think would work best with each piece.

Methodology

Before I tackle the actual experience I had at Restoration Hardware, let me give you a little background on what I like. Preference and style is a personal choice, and you may not agree with my options. So in the name of full transparency, I'll give you an idea of how I approached this review, lay out what's important to me, my home, and my family, as well as the style I want to create in my bathroom.

Both my wife and I have a ton of products, so storage is going to be key. We also like everything to look neat and clean on the outside, so we don't want our products just hanging out on a shelf. A dual vanity would be ideal, and of course, we need some counter space.

What's more important to us, however, is the style. While I'm looking for a vintage feel to my primary bath, reminiscent of bed and breakfast in the New England countryside, I'm also very aware of the resale value of my home. I want to make sure that the pieces I bring in function in a wide variety of different styles and vibes so that 1.) I won't get bored of it, as I do like the change interior styles often and on a whim; and 2.) since the vanity is something that typically stays with the home when you sell it, I want to make sure it can appeal to different styles as well.

Now that that's out of the way let's get to the vanity reviews!

RH Vanity Reviews

Hutton

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Washstand and floating styles also available
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 6
• Available hardware choices: 6
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • Medicine cabinet
  • 71" bath cabinet
  • Open hutch
  • Glassdoor hutch
  • Wall mirror
  • Stool

Overall Impression: Now, even though I want something that will go with a lot of different styling, I still want a little personality. The Hutton is not that vanity. It's very plain and boxy with really no details on it whatsoever. The white is very clean looking, but it is too contemporary for what I'm looking for. While I think this would be the right choice if you wanted a spa-like bathroom, I'm not a fan.

Also, I don't understand the darker color choices. The only one I actually liked was white. I feel like the darker ones are too masculine for us. As far as durability is concerned, I also wasn't impressed here. It kind of feels like it ould fall apart, and that's it cheap. This vanity reminds me of something I could get at a lower-end retailer, with the same quality, for less than a quarter of what it costs here. In my opinion, it's not worth it.

Reclaimed Russian Oak

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Washstand style also available
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 3
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • Console
  • 84" cabinet
  • Mirror

Overall Impression: I always have and will always have an affinity for wood-grained furniture. I just love the rustic styling; it's warm and cozy and brings a natural feel to any space. I like to use natural elements like wood in a lot of my rooms, and I absolutely love this Reclaimed Russian Oak vanity! It's super solid and sturdy – but the drawers glide in and out really nicely! I especially love how the grey wash and stain brings out the grains of the wood!

I also like how the piece itself is traditional and classic, and that it would work with a variety of stylings. There aren't any raw edges, so it's not overly rustic. You can dress it up with a little industrial detailing, or calm it down with lots of white and clean brass or chrome fixtures. I love the versatility and storage. Plus – the fact that it comes with a large cabinet and console really makes me happy because all my furniture will match!

Hudson

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 3
• Available countertop choices: 12
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 74-½" open shelving
  • 60" open shelving

Overall Impression: These washstand style vanities remind me of an upscale hotel lobby for some reason. I think it's the large marble top with the brass legs. It feels very old-Hollywood, with a vintage glamour that you'd see on the big screen. In fact, I can picture Katherine Hepburn sitting at a similarly styled vanity, putting her makeup on! The open shelving concept is minimalist, but the finish elevates it to a whole different level.

While I do like this one a lot, the washstand configuration doesn't work for us. We need storage, and really don't want our stuff all over the place and clearly visible at all times. Keep your mess behind closed doors! Also, I think that this washstand really works with only a vintage glam or contemporary styling, which would turn off most traditionalist and rustic leaning folks, like myself. But it's solidly built, and seemed sturdy. It's just not the right style for us.

Celia Shagreen

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Washstand configuration also available
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 3
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 84" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: I like the way that this vanity is very simple in design, similar to the Hutton, but has a very interesting texture! The shagreen-embossed leather really elevates it to a whole other level. It doesn't look or feel like leather, and it certainly holds up better. The texture is supposed to be a reproduction of a stingray hide. I've never touched a stingray, so I can't validate that. What I can tell you is that this is a solid vanity!

It's certainly heavy and durable. I can't really describe how it feels, because it doesn't feel like leather. It's like a mix of leather and vinyl, but you can't scratch it. I like the metal pulls and feet, and how the finish really compliments the rest of the vanity, as well. And, I like how it does look weathered, but not in a cheap kind of way. However, I'm not a fan of the available color options, and I think the texture and feel might turn others off. So, for us, we'll pass.

St. James

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 6
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 84" bath cabinet
  • 72" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: Another wood vanity collection that I just fell in love with! This vanity feels like it fell right out of a turn-of-the-century home! There are such fine details, like the fluting and dentil detailing, I absolutely love it! It doesn't even look like a vanity at all, but that antique piece of furniture that you may be upcycled into a vanity? Or perhaps even more closely resembles a piece of furniture left behind in a home built in the 1900s.

Whatever it is, the timelessness and traditional woodworking appeal of the entire unit is breathtaking. I think this would look gorgeous with an antique claw-foot tub in the corner. I love that the drawers and cabinets are plentiful and deep enough to store away all our products out of sight, and the additional bath cabinets that come in the collection would be perfect for towels and other items to have a matching home to live in. I also think that because this is a timeless piece that it can be incorporated into a variety of different interior designs seamlessly. This is for sure a frontrunner on our list of favorites!

Maison

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Choose with or without drawers
• Available finishes: 6
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 84" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: Initially, I liked the oak wood of the Maison vanity. Why? Because it's wood. But as I looked closer, I really didn't get the same kind of feelings I got when I saw the St. James or the Reclaimed Russian Wood vanities. This vanity is very nice and looks really high-quality in-person. It's sturdy and solid, but it's very plain. Other than the tiny detail on the legs, nothing really screams out at me about this vanity.

I like the hardware – the rings are a nice touch and give it an old-world feel, but they still seem slightly out of place on the rest of it. The wood itself is hand-distressed to achieve that antique look, but I'm not sold on it. I guess what it looks like is exactly what it is: a new piece of furniture that's trying to look antique-like a Halloween costume. It's really not my favorite and doesn't make me jump for joy. It's a solid piece and does definitely have a bit of a french vibe to it, but I personally am not drawn to it at all.

Bezier

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• The floating configuration also available
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 4
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 84" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: While I'm not a fan of modern style furniture in general, I do like this one. RH Modern's Bezier collection has a ton of different options, including floating vanity configurations that attach completely to the wall. That's definitely not something we're into, but I like this idea for a smaller bathroom or even for a minimalist, modern space. It's a very streamlined shape, with clean lines.

I like that the metal accents add a bit of interest, as well as a bit of depth to the piece. While it's solidly built, I don't like the veneers on it. It gives it a kind of fake particleboard look up close that you get with furniture from lower-end stores. For the price and the standard of quality that I've come to expect from RH, I'm disappointed with the Bezier.

Printmakers

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or console washstand vanity
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 2
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 84" bath cabinet
  • 72" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: As a writer, I have an affinity for all things related to books, including the printing press. Back in the day, printmakers stored plans, prints, and maps in wide, shallow drawers, and they had chests of them all around their studio or office. That is exactly what this vanity is trying to represent! I love the antiqued pine wood and how you can see the variations in the wood, the distressed areas from years of wear and tear are there, but it's solid.

I really love how RH can capture the feel of an old-world piece of furniture in a brand new piece of the showroom. It's really a talent, and they hit the nail on the head with the Printmakers vanity! Right down the cast pulls on the drawers, it's an amazingly accurate recreation of an original piece, complete with the distressed antiqued feel you'd expect. While this is definitely a piece that only works with a specific type of style, we'll probably pass on it. But, I absolutely love it if we were planning on staying in our home forever!

La Salle

Details:

• Choose a single, double, console, or powder vanity
• Washstand configuration also available
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 3
• Available countertop choices: 11
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only
• Additional collection products:
  • 84" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: The La Salle vanity is one of the very industrial styled pieces that RH carries, and is actually done quite well. You can tell the meticulous detail in how this is put together, from hand-hammering nails to painstakingly wrapping the metal around the structure by hand. It feels lighter, and not as sturdy as it should for metal, but that's because the metal is hand-wrapped – it's not constructed solely out of metal.

The zinc finish is applied by hand, really giving that antiqued look, which creates an uneven appearance and adds character to each piece. The look will change over time, as the patina continues to grow, too – so though antiqued when you buy it, it will only grow more and more so over time, really giving it that "original piece" feel. Unfortunately, I didn't find La Salle very sturdy. It seemed lighter than I'd like, and I worry about damaging the doors since the sheet metal is hand folded.

It makes me think that it would be much easier to dent or damage. Also, as far as styling is concerned, this just wouldn't work with what we're looking to do, nor do I think it's a universal enough design to work with a variety of different stylings. Therefore, for our purposes, we'll keep looking.

Herringbone

Details:

• Choose a single, double, or powder vanity
• Choose from regular or extra wide
• Available finishes: 2
• Available countertop choices: 5
• Available faucet configurations: 3
• Additional Details: purchase as a set with countertops or base-only; fits multiple vessel types and sizes
• Additional Products:
  • 84" bath cabinet

Overall Impression: You can't more classic than a herringbone design. It's a timeless pattern that really works in a variety of spaces, so I'm not surprised to find something here at Restoration Hardware that falls into that design category. The way that RH approaches the herringbone design in their vanity collection is very interesting. Instead of adding it all over, it's only focused on the drawer fronts.

The frame remains in the same color finish, but the grains of the wood aren't positioned for the pattern. This creates an interesting juxtaposition, that frames out the herringbone to add emphasis, but without drawing blatant attention. The pattern itself is executed perfectly and evenly, focusing on the center of the drawers and drawing the eye up. It's a solid base, and really well constructed.

And, interestingly enough, the drawers themselves are push opens, which is kind of cool – I think adding hardware drawer pulls would take away from how solidly designed this is. All in all, I think this is a great vanity, solidly built, that can work in a lot of different types of home styles – from modern to transitional, traditional to rustic. I think it could even pull off a spa-like feel to a bathroom, with the addition of greenery and hanging plants, and natural fiber textiles.

Vanity Round-Up Winner

This was a tough one to pick a winner for. All of the RH vanities I reviewed were unique in their own way and brought something different for a different type of consumer. Whether you're looking for a timeless, classic piece that will withstand daily wear and tear while looking as good as the day you brought it home, or a modern, contemporary piece that works in a minimalist space that takes up only enough room as required, there's a vanity for you.

For us, though, we had to choose something that would go with both our home, my personal style, as well as be a flexible enough piece that it wouldn't turn a potential homebuyer down the road off. That means that the Reclaimed Russian Oak double vanity in grey oak is the one for us! We loved the natural element of this, and how it works with our rustic, vintage styling and our clawfoot tub! However, it's versatile enough to go with a traditional bathroom look as well as a spa-like version that many folks want in the primary. It's a solid piece, with deep drawers to hide all our products away, and I can get the matching bath cabinet to really create a cohesive look in our bathroom!

How To Plumb A Basement Bathroom

How to Waterproof Your Basement

ElRoi/Shutterstock

Having a wet or moist basement is a common situation that most homeowners in America experience. This is not a good thing as moist basements result in various problems including rotting of frames and drywall and the growth of molds.

Before you start searching for an engineer, you should identify the cause and try remediating by yourself. The leading causes of wet basements are rainwater, snow-melt and leaking pipes. Water from rain and melted snow runs off down the rooftop to your houses' foundation and seeps under cracks in the foundation. Remediation of the damp basement can be done using the following methods.

Using Gutters

Whisking water away from the house foundation is key to waterproofing your basement. Improving the drainage system around your house is therefore essential and there is no better way of doing this than installing gutters. The gutters direct water away, thusavoiding pooling of water at the foundation of your house. You need to install gutters and provide horizontal downspout extensions about 1.2 meters, which will direct water away from the excavation ring and into a suitable location. If you already have gutters, consider cleaning them regularly to avoid clogging.

Grading the Outside Ground

Basic science principles teach that water always flows downwards along a slope. Grading the ground to slope away from the house will ensure that water is directed away from the foundation avoiding it seeping into your basement. The slope should be about six feet wide and four inches away from the foundation. After a rainstorm, it is advisable to walk around and look out for uneven grounds. The area should then be graded again for better results. Also, be on the lookout for shrubs or plants growing close to the house because water tends to follow plant roots. This water eventually finds its way to the foundation and into your basement. Avert this by removing all plants that are fewer than 12 inches from your foundation. You can do this by using a shovel and make sure to remove all the plant roots.

Patching up Cracks on the Wall

This method will not prevent water from settling at the foundation, but it will stop it from seeping into your basement. The cracks in the walls let water into the basement and should therefore be sealed immediately when observed. For patching cracks you should first clean the area around the crack. Remove all dirt and dust that may hinder cement from bonding. Then mix the patching material. Use hydraulic cement and latex to form a thin paste called a vinyl concrete patch. Mixing should be done in small quantities at a time since the mixture dries very fast. Wet the crack to prevent the moisture from being drawn out of the patched concrete. Smoothen out and level the patch to your foundation's walls using a trowel.

Interior Waterproofing

Note that the best method for waterproofing is from outside. However, interior waterproofing can be a very effective method for basements with small and intermittent leaks. It's quick and easy as it only requires you to apply the sealant onto the basement walls. You can choose a sealant that best suits your needs among the following three types.

Silicate-based concrete seal is applied on walls that have not been painted or sealed before and is done using a roller or a brush for best results.

Concrete waterproof coating is ideal for concrete and masonry walls that have not been painted. The waterproof coating is spread using a special brush made with Tampico bristles.

Waterproofing paint is suitable on painted walls and can be applied using a brush roller or a sprayer.

Controlling Indoor Condensation, Humidity and Drainage

Installation of foam around your pipes and insulating your basement walls will prevent condensation from occurring. Using a dehumidifier also helps to reduce the humidity in your basement.

Installing a French drain can also help in improving water drainage. It's a continuous system comprised of perforated pipes that are connected underneath the basement. The pipes are surrounded by coarse gravel which helps the water to drain towards a sump pump.

What Were Bathrooms Like In The 1800s

What Were Bathrooms Like In The 1800s

How did people go to the bathroom in the past?

Today we would horrified at the bathroom practices of the past. Back 200 years ago, people were not private about their bathroom habits.

During early years on the frontier, people would go behind a tree or in the woods. Most houses had a chamber pot which was just a round bowl. They would use this pot during the night or when the weather was too bad to go outside.

There were both indoor and outdoor privies, also called outhouses. These small rooms ranged from a hole in the ground with a log across it for sitting, to a raised platform with a hole in the seat. Some privies at inns or even at private houses had multiple holes, or seats, so obviously people used them at the same time. Some even included a child-size seat.

There was no toilet tissue back then. People used leaves, grass, or even dry corn cobs for wiping.

Chamber pots had to be emptied each day. This was usually done by emptying them down the privy hole. With liquid waste, some just threw the contents out in the yard. There are stories of people in the towns being hit by waste from a chamber pot dumped from an open upstairs window.

Water closets first appeared in the 1700s. These early toilets usually had a cistern or tank above to hold water with a pipe running down to the toilet. When the handle was pulled, it opened a trap door sending water to wash the waste into a sewer or cesspool . It didn't work very well in cleaning all the waste out of the privy and there was no way to keep the smell from the sewer or cesspool from wafting back up.

Sewers had to take the waste somewhere. Today, sewers are connected to sewage treatment plants which remove the impurities and return the water to the system. In the past, sewers usually dumped waste into rivers and streams. Cesspools or privies in the town were often emptied by workers with wagons, who hauled off the waste and dumped it in a pit.

These methods of disposal often caused the outbreak of disease as germs got into the water supply. It wasn't until 1883 that a scientist found a germ for cholera under the microscope. City and town leaders then learned that good sanitation methods would keep disease from spreading.

Early Nashville settlers had chosen to build Fort Nashboro close to a spring. By 1826, water from the spring was being pumped into the public square reservoir through wooden pipes. Sewers made from brick and clay were constructed in Nashville beginning in 1823. Most dumped into springs and the river.

Modern Mirror Bathroom

source : Domino

Let's start with something unique. Many bathroom ideas for teenage girl tend to use a single dominant color. This bathroom here, however, incorporates three. Dark blue on the sides, pastel purple, and white and gray patterns on the floor. These colors create such gorgeous visual cues that no one can ignore.

Also, these colors distract you from thinking that the bathroom is small. The two slim sinks and oval mirrors only further the impression of a large bathroom further. It also has several shelves for storage, something which teenage girls will always need in their bathroom.

Speaking of the bathroom décor, the wall is an important yet often overlooked part. Yet, with proper styling, the wall can turn an ordinary bathroom into something else, something more beautiful and inviting. Curious about how impactful bathroom wall décor can be? Check them out here.

Wallpaper Pink and Green

source : homebunch

We all know how fickle teenagers can be. This is particularly true for teenage girls as girls tend to be pickier than boys. If your girl likes to change the bathroom's style once in a while, one of the best girl bathroom ideas is to install wallpaper.

There are many reasons why. First and foremost, wallpaper is easily changeable. Second, wallpaper has many options when it comes to motifs and patterns. And third, wallpaper is a lot less inexpensive than remodeling. This example here shows how appealing a bathroom can be with full-size wallpaper.

Soft and Subtle Pink

source : hunker

Just because your girl is growing up, doesn't mean you can try cute girl bathroom ideas. It is true that her taste will be very different from her taste back when she was a little girl. However, some aspects like subtle pink color can still look good for a teenage girl's bathroom.

Notice the color palette in this bathroom. The white walls and ceiling provide the perfect background for the long pink vanity. The two colors create a subtle contrast. The bathroom looks inviting but does so subtly.

The vanity is important both in terms of practicality and looks. After all, a single well-placed vanity can change the tone of the bathroom. Check out these bathroom vanity ideas and find out about it.

Nature Inspired Wallpaper

The wallpaper is flexible. You can incorporate it in just about any décor. Yes, that includes the farmhouse décor as well. As you can see here, the tree and flower wallpaper occupy the upper half of the bathroom while the lower half is a shiplap wall, which is undoubtedly farmhouse.

The seemingly contrasting duality works really well together. This unique mix of farmhouse and colorful wallpaper results in an unusually beautiful and warm visual cue. If that is what you are looking for, then this farmhouse wallpaper mix is one of the best girl bathroom ideas to try.

Back to Classic

With so many bathroom ideas for girl and boy out there, things can get confusing real quick. This is especially true if your girl is fickle when it comes to styling. In that case, the best thing you can do is to go back to classic.

That's right. Going back with some basic color palette like neutral, earth tone, and pastel colors. While we did say that it is basic, that doesn't mean it is not appealing. It certainly is. If anything, it has a unique, ageless charm.

Simply Curtain Bathroom

source : athomewithashley

The next one on our girl bathroom ideas list is rather simple. Make the girl's bathroom gorgeous by adding a beautifully embroidered shower curtain. This small yet impactful touch makes the small bathroom gorgeous.

There are also motifs and patterns on the floor, adding an appealing visual statement that prevents the space from looking too plain and boring. With all that it has, you can say that this bathroom is simply gorgeous.

Flowers All-Around

This is another example of girl bathroom design ideas that uses wallpaper. And when it comes to wallpaper, your options are virtually limitless. Not only there are myriads of options of the colors, motifs or patterns. You are also free to install the wallpaper partially or fully. Quite amazing, isn't it?

In this bathroom, the floral wallpaper occupies most of the upper part of the bathroom. This makes an interesting statement and adds a subtle feminine touch. There is a vintage mirror, which contrasts with the wallpaper and stands out, bringing all the attention to it.

Subtle Elegance

source : Morning Star Builders

Elegance can be expressed in many ways. There are girl bathroom ideas that express elegance directly, there are ideas that do so subtly. This bathroom here is the latter. Notice how the elegance here can be felt but it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

Here in this girl's bathroom, most of the room is either white or neutral. This serves as a blank canvas for the furniture to stands out. The pieces of furniture also have pastel colors, allowing them to stand out just a bit without being too over dramatic about it. The pink small bench and towels add a feminine touch, too.

Pink and Flowers

source : lessthanperfectlifeofbliss

Two of the most common themes of girl bathroom decorating ideas are the color pink and flowers. In this bathroom here, you can see both. Notice how the pink set a bright and fun vibe to the bathroom. The flowers really stand out here with the bold colors they have.

One of the best things about the color pink is how compatible it is with many other colors. For example, here you can see how the pink surface highlights the bright red towels, pastel green trash bin, and of course, the flowers.

Girly Touch

source : ccandmike

One of the differences between children's and teenagers' bathroom is the color palette. While little girl bathroom décor ideas often involve bold and bright primary colors, teenage girl bathroom décor ideas are a lot subtler, with many kinds of colors involved.

This bathroom here is an excellent example of how subtle teenage girl bathroom ideas can be. Notice how the pink subtly contrasts with the white shiplap wall. There are also tints of golden hue as well, adding more beauty to this modern farmhouse girl bathroom.

Make It Lasting

source : Houzz

Everyone knows how quickly a little girl grows into a teenager. However, the change in the bathroom layout and design doesn't happen overnight. There are various little girl bathroom ideas that can accommodate the transition, like this girl bathroom here.

As you can see, the bathroom looks so fun and bright. As your girl grows older, you can remove the flower curtains and change them into something more mature. The light blue wall, on the other hand, works nicely both in a little girl and a teenage girl's bathroom.

Vintage Girl Bathroom

Who doesn't like the beach? If your girl likes the beach, then incorporating elements that remind you of the beach surely is one of the best girl bathroom ideas.

Alright, maybe there is no sand or anything like that, but the color palette, the small decorations, and even the curtain shower makes it beachy.

Notice the elements in this girl bathroom here. There are white shiplap walls, wooden flooring, a cyan vanity with black countertop, a small round lifebuoy, and vibrant orange and blue curtain. All these are the ones that set the beachy vibe.

Pink Bathroom

Makes the girl's bathroom fresher and relaxing with a bathtub surrounded with pots and plants. A bathtub, in and of itself, is already relaxing. Imagine relaxing in the tub and being surrounded by greeneries all around you. Pretty nice, isn't it?

The pink walls and white flooring make the perfect background for the tubs and plants. The window is great as well, as it lets sunlight to flow into the room and make it bright.  While the other girl bathrooms include delicate and complex designs, this one is far from those. It is just simple fresh.

'Compact'  Bathroom

The larger a bathroom is, the more girl bathroom ideas you can try. That doesn't translate to a small bathroom equals a bad-looking bathroom, though. If the bathroom is small, you will need a bit of creativity to optimize the space.

This 'compact' bathroom, for example, stacks things vertically. This way, the attention is moved away from the narrow space and into the stacked decorations.

Notice how the toilet, the small aloe vera and the painting above it forms a straight line. The flooring also has recurring motifs as well, a smart choice to divert the attention even further.

Elegance in Display

Want to try elegant teenage girl bathroom décor ideas? An elegant bathroom is awesome, too. Just like at this bathroom. This bathroom here is not afraid to flaunt its elegance. Notice how the entire walls and ceiling are in soft pink, enabling the other pieces of furniture to take the stage and grab attention.

That's not all, however, The lighting also adds elegance as well. The fixtures on the mirror and the best one, the gorgeous chandelier up above. And finally, the natural stone flooring completes this luxurious setup. It is an amazing way to display elegance.

Modern with Vibrant Red

Bring style to the bathroom with modern touches and vibrant red. The modern touches make the room looks sophisticated while the red brings out the style. The lighting sets the ambient tone while the mirror creates the impression of a larger room. Suffice to say, it is an eye-catching bathroom alright.

Compared to the previous girl bathroom ideas, the red bathroom here makes a suitable place for hanging a favorite painting or two. Girls love to hang images/pictures in their room, so this is certainly a welcome benefit to have.

Moving on from the vibrant girl bathroom ideas, now it is time for something much less complex and intricate. That's right. A minimalist bathroom, though. It is a minimalist bathroom with a romantic twist. The beauty of minimalist décor is that a room can look good with fewer things.

In this case, there are only necessary pieces of furniture in this bathroom. It doesn't mean no decoration is allowed, obviously. Notice the vibrant red flowers in the middle. This small addition adds a subtle, romantic touch. Thus, preventing the minimalist bathroom from looking too cold and serious.

Red and White

Vibrant red can work with another color. In this bathroom, vibrant red works with white. The result? A gorgeous and stylish bathroom. Look at how beautifully placed the red and white items are. The vanity is surely the focal point, while the white complements and allows it to shine bright.

There are also other decorations in the bathroom as well. These cute decorations prevent the red and white combo from being too monotonic and repetitive. In a way, they bring balance to the space but in a covert rather than overt manner.

Vibrant Pink

This is another pink bathroom on our girl bathroom ideas list. What differentiates it from the previous pink bathroom is its pink hue.

The pink color is so vibrant and turns the vanity into the focus of the bathroom. It keeps the playfulness and fun of the pink color while looking more mature at the same time.

Notice how the rest of the bathrooms become the perfect background on which the vanity gets highlighted. Other colors, like dark gray from the towels and the slight yellow from the lamp fixtures, accentuate the pink even further. Circle-patterned flooring is a nice touch.

How To Light A Bathroom Vanity

How To Light A Bathroom Vanity

When it comes to proper lighting, one of the most critical rooms in the home is the bathroom. It's most often the first place people go to when they wake up in the morning, and it can set the mood for the day. The bathroom is where you wash and groom, and many people take their morning medications there—all strong cases for optimized bright lighting and daylighting. The other reason is that light, particularly daylight, is what sets our circadian rhythms, which play an important part in overall health.

Helping people see well is also critical for safety, since the bathroom is where 80 percent of older adults experience a fall. Fortunately, good bathroom lighting design for seniors is good bathroom lighting design for everyone. Let's look at seven opportunities for the best bathroom illumination: daylighting, overall light, vanity lighting, lighting over a tub, light in the shower, lighting at the water closet, and night lighting.

Bathroom Light Levels

How much light is needed in the bath? The answer depends on the person and the task they're performing. For someone just waking up and shuffling in to the water closet, 10 footcandles (fc) might be plenty. After a shower, when it's time to shave, 100fc is probably needed for better visibility.

In the master or guest bathrooms, use fixtures that provide at least 75 to 100 watts of illumination, says Randall Whitehead, a well-known lighting expert and author of Residential Lighting, a Practical Guide.

You can also get these light equivalents in a 24-watt fluorescent or a 20-watt LED, he adds. (Note: A 100-watt incandescent bulb yields 1,750 lumens, or about 137 footcandles).

This 1970s bath in Westminster was landlocked and compartmentalized. By opening up the wall between the two spaces and bringing in a tubular skylight from the roof, the room has been for transformed. For the first time in more than 40 years, daylight reaches this bath.
A pair of wet-rated can lights over the WC and tub, and double sconces on either side of the vessel sink provide task lighting. All fixtures are on dimmers. An oversize mirror and light color palette help to visually expand the space. The remodeler was Reconstruction Experts and the interior designer was Andrea Lawrence Wood.

Lighting educator Phil Richards, of Juno Lighting Group, in Chicago, has a simple rule of thumb for determining lighting needs: "It's whatever your client's age is, plus 20." So a 20-year-old would need 40fc, while a 70-year-old needs 90fc to see equally well. This is because the eye's pupil size reduces and the lens thickens and yellows with age, letting in less light.

But what about when the 70-year-old doesn't want 90fc or is bothered by glare? The best way to solve that is with fixtures that mask the actual light source: either up-lights, deeply recessed downlights, or lenses. Dimmers can also be enormously helpful. It's far better to "overlight" a space and provide dimmers for making adjustments than it is to underlight it. With two, three, or even four circuits of lighting and dimmers, there's a vast variety of possible combinations.

1. Daylighting

Nothing beats natural daylight for brightening your mood and setting the circadian rhythms that regulate wake/sleep cycles. There's a huge and growing body of scientific literature around this phenomenon. That's why it's ideal to design a bathroom with as much natural light as possible. If planning to include one window, why not have two?—especially if they can be on adjacent or opposite walls to balance the illumination. To circumvent the common issue of large windows over the tub that are always covered to provide privacy, why not switch to bottom-up shades so you have daylight and views with privacy?

As part of a new pop top in Denver's Bonnie Brae neighborhood, this new master bath provides a wraparound vanity for both partners. Since it's on the north side of the home and the small window is more for ventilation and a bit of view than for illumination, most of the light during the day is provided by the two north-facing skylights. During the day, one doesn't even need to reach for the light switch.
At each vanity, we provided tubular fluorescent lighting in a pleasing 2,700-degree Kelvin temperature (same as incandescent) with a frosted lens to reduce glare. This is possibly the best type of vanity lighting because it's not a point source, just a glowing bar of light that leaves no shadows. For the middle-of-the-night excursions to the bathroom, a single recessed can on a dimmer provides safety night-lighting without triggering all the lumens the fluorescents can supply. The team on this remodel included, general contractor: R.D. Simmermon & Co.; interiors: Comstock Design

For more reliable all-day bright lighting, how about adding a skylight? A 2x3 skylight lets in two to three times the illumination as a same-size window. Light levels of 100fc to 200fc are quite common in skylit spaces, even on overcast days. And although one skylight is a great improvement, we often include several in the bathroom lighting design to fit the space and add drama to the ceiling.

This is how we like to see a single skylight framed—not a straight shaft on four sides, but with one or two of the sides splayed to spread the light. We'll set the skylight low with a plumb side coming down and splay the upper side to fill the space. In a trussed roof, you only get to splay two sides; if it's a stick-framed roof (usually pre-1960), you get to splay all four sides if you want, and that's quite interesting.

Another great product for overhead illumination is the tubular daylighting device (TTD). Available brands include Solatube and Sun-Dome, among others. The TTD is a small acrylic skylight with a 10-to-14-inch tube, polished on the inside, that delivers an unbelievable amount of daylight to the room via a lens at the ceiling. TTDs cost less than $1,000 installed and are even available with a built-in LED light to provide illumination at night from the same lensed opening.

2. Overall Bath Lighting

Many homeowners like the luxury feel that a chandelier or pendant fixture can bring to a space. To prevent code issues, make sure that the fixture is at least 3 feet from the tub and 7 feet or more above the high-water level. In addition, put it on its own switch, with a dimmer. Depending on the layout, this might be the fixture used in the middle of the night, and it's best if you can dim it to about 20 percent.

Another great ambient light source in baths is indirect up-lighting, usually achieved with fluorescent or LED light strips on top of cabinets or a soffit. This is particularly soft, pleasant background illumination.

For effective bath lighting of any sort, it's smart to pay attention to the CRI (color rendering index). A number of 100 is ideal but hard to find. Anything over 80 will allow people to see colors fairly accurately. Finally, don't forget to specify the color temperature, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). A 2,700K lamp is about the same warm yellow light as an incandescent bulb, and many clients prefer them. Jumping up to a 3,000K lamp makes a whiter light, still warm, that's a good compromise. For residential use, 3,500K is about as cool a color as I'd recommend—it's particularly good in closets, where you need accuracy for color matching when choosing clothing. Many clothing stores use 3,500K lighting for that reason.

3. Vanity Lighting

The best possible lighting for activities in front of the bathroom mirror comes from fixtures mounted on either side roughly at the user's eye level. This leaves no part of the face in shadow, as happens with an overhead fixture. If the mirror wall isn't an option, move the light fixtures to the side walls, or hang pendants from the ceiling; just try to get the light to either side where it will do the most good.

This remodeled bath has shielded halogen lighting on either side of the mirror on dimmers, as well as recessed downlights for a choice of light levels and sources. The side walls serve to bounce the light from the sconces, to amplify its effect. General contractor: Cadre Construction

To provide a range of lighting from dim to bright is why we prefer to use LED (or incandescent, if the client absolutely demands it) rather than fluorescent, as LEDs are much easier to dim. It's better to have fixtures that can over-deliver lumens and be dimmed as needed.

And even though they still sell "Hollywood" light bars in the big-box stores, try to refrain from using them, especially with clear bulbs, as they produce glare and leave shadows under the brow, nose, and chin. If the space doesn't allow fixtures on the sides, it's OK to place one over the mirror. Just try to select a linear model with a continuous band of bright light.

Downlights are perhaps the worst type to use for task lighting in the bath, although they are fine for ambient or accent lighting. Also, downlights are usually incandescent, which is the least energy-efficient form of lighting-—only 10% of the energy used by a typical incandescent bulb comes out as light, the other 90% is wasted heat.

4. Lighting at the Tub

Building codes are very strict about lights over tubs and whirlpools. There can be no open or hanging fixtures within 8 feet above the tub, nor for another 3 feet in front of it. Since most bathroom ceilings aren't more than 8 feet tall, this generally precludes having open or hanging lights above tubs.

Lensed damp or wet-rated downlights work, or you can use spotlights placed outside the "danger zone." If ambient light levels are high enough, there's probably no need for a dedicated fixture for the tub. Some high-end whirlpools are available with (code legal) underwater mood lights for romantic effect.

Usually we try to locate tubs under a feature window or major skylight, as they are the focal point of the bath and are where one wants to spend time relaxing. Daylighting makes the most sense at tubs.

How to balance a client's need for privacy with her strong desire for daylight? By looking up and grabbing a piece of the sky. That's what we did for this Denver Country Club contemporary, when faced with an outside wall that was 10 feet from the neighbor's windows. A roof monitor houses eight skylights, making the bathing experience "like taking a bath outdoors," the client says.
A single low-voltage pendant spotlights the soaking tub, while recessed cans in the shower and a few more for spotlighting in the main area supplement the fluorescent vanity task lighting. For this installation, the clients chose clear glass skylights; one could also select frosted glass to reduce glare. General contractor: Tom Owens, Creative Remodeling

5. Light in the Shower

Great news for people who don't like showering in the near-dark: There are any number of very bright, open shower trim lights available, which means you can put in cans that punch light down and dim to the desired level, instead of struggling to see with the standard-for-years lensed 60-watt maximum cans. We used to put two, or even more, cans in a shower just to get decent lighting; now one good one can do the trick. Gasketed glass or acrylic surface-type fixtures rated for shower use are also available.

6. Lighting at the Water Closet

This is most easily achieved with a fan/light combination fixture. If the customer wants more light, perhaps to read by, we'll specify an additional recessed can light in front of the water closet, almost always on a dimmer. Another good trick is to "borrow" daylight via a frosted-glass door or transom windows that allow light but preserve privacy.

For every rule, there is an exception. Although light colors are best for increasing light levels, under the old plaster in this basement bath, contractor Mike Garner discovered handsome dark-brick walls, which we wanted to feature. We painted the ceiling a dark brown to obscure the few pipes that we couldn't hide up in the ceiling—much as restaurants sometimes leave a busy ceiling open but painted black. But then we deliberately chose a light porcelain tile to maximize spread of the light from the recessed ceiling lights.

7. Night Lighting

Since the bathroom is sometimes used in the middle of the night, it's critical to provide some, but not too much, light by which to safely maneuver. When the eyes are adjusted to darkness, as they are when waking up from a sound sleep, very few footcandles are needed. (A full moon is just .01fc!) Flipping on bright overhead lights will be blinding and disruptive. A 5-watt nightlight may be just right.

Therefore, it's a good idea to provide a low-wattage light source that either is on all night or that responds to motion. Many exhaust fan/lights have such a feature, or you could wire some step lights in the wall, or simply purchase some plug-in motion-sensor nightlights.

High-end hotels sometimes feature LED tape lighting under a vanity or a countertop edge for this purpose. In most of our higher-end work, we provide an electrical outlet behind the toilet for a bidet seat, and this is a perfect place to plug in one of these lights. Recently, several manufacturers have started offering LED lighting in the toilet seat for wayfinding.

This article is based on Doug Walter's presentations at KBIS 2015, the National Kitchen & Bath Association's annual conference and expo.

Small Bathroom Recessed Lighting

If you are searching for bathroom lighting ideas, then we have you covered. Getting your bathroom lights right is key to creating a space that's most importantly practical but also looks great too.

You should start planning your bathroom lighting by look at how you use your bathroom. Think of the times of day when you will be there, and whether you have high levels of natural light to play with. Then consider the ambiance you want to create, and when. Are you looking for a lively and energizing space, or for a more relaxing and therapeutic bathroom? The choice is yours. And with the many bathroom lighting options around, including smart lighting and the likes, you will be able to bring your dream bathroom space to life.

• For more bathroom ideas check out our feature for more inspiration.

'As with most areas within a house, good bathroom lighting will transform the look and feel of a bathroom. Planning your lighting scheme is important – think about what times you generally use your bathroom and whether natural light is available.' explains Chris Jordon, Managing Director at Christopher Wray.

'Task lighting needs to be considered around mirrors so that you have plenty of light around when shaving, cleaning or applying makeup. You should always choose lights that will illuminate without causing shadows. LED strips or directional lights work well to highlight a feature whereas wall lights are great for ambient lighting.'

Remember too, that any electrical fittings will need the correct IP rating and you'll want to illuminate key fixtures like your basin, inside of shower and around the bath, plus any alcoves and vanity areas to get the best use out of your space. We've considered all you need to know and combined the practical side of lighting with the most sought-after bathroom looks below so just keep on scrolling to get inspired...

1. Look to bathroom mirror lighting

(Image credit: David Woolley)

Want to actually be able to see your face in the bathroom mirror when you're washing it/putting on makeup? Grouping bathroom lighting over – and to the side of – a mirror will ensure that they're working where they're most needed. Bouncing the light off the mirrored glass will help a narrow or small bathroom feel bigger, too. Win win.

2. Consider layering your bathroom light

(Image credit: Davey Lighting )

No matter the size of your bathroom, multiple light sources will always enhance the design. A combination of downlights, task lighting, accent spotlights and recessed lighting will create a scheme to suit all needs, providing practical lighting for day-to-day tasks, low-level ambient light and illumination at night.

Look to have bathroom lighting over a mirror (task lighting), the main bathroom light to illuminate the whole room (downlight/ambient lighting), and lighting that shows off a feature in the room (accent lighting) for a balanced space.

Aim to include two circuits on dimmers and one circuit to control a presence detector for automatic night lights, and consider linking your extractor fan to one of the circuits, too.

Consider the size of your space of course as this may prove too much for a small bathroom, but in a larger bathroom like the one below, the layered lighting works perfectly.

3. Use bathroom wall lights to create a focal point

(Image credit: Chris Snook)

Using bathroom wall lights strategically to highlight a particular zone in the bathroom is a neat design trick that will help your room feel well-designed. Here, it's the vanity unit that's being drawn attention to with bathroom wall lights that make for a practical lighting solution too.

Want a bang-on-trend, minimalist bathroom? A monochromatic scheme is your best bet, and graphic box wall lights will look especially good with a matching black bathtub.

See more black bathroom ideas in our gallery.

4. Add color with bathroom lighting

(Image credit: Chris Snook)

We love the color scheme going on in this bathroom. It's fun it's quirky and really brings to life the small space. The cute coral lighting really completes the look, drawing together the colors in the wall art and the sink.

Also note how the lights hand down right in front of the mirror, not only does this double the color it also means even more light is going to be reflected around the room.

5. Go for simple exposed bulbs

(Image credit: Darren Chung © Future)

For a bathroom lighting idea that's classic and timeless, choose glass pendant lights. They're an excellent alternative to built-in wall lights for a more contemporary twist on the traditional bathroom decor.

These hanging exposed bulbs are simple and yet really stylish and are placed perfectly for lighting up the mirror and creating a really visually satisfying focal point.

6. Go for a simple pared back look

(Image credit: Davey Lighting )

Love a minimalist, unfussy bathroom design that looks timeless and elegant? You need a really nice pendant light – and no other lighting will be necessary. Choose frosted glass or ceramic for a soft and understated look, or a brass pendant for a bolder, more graphic look. Again, talk to an electrician before you buy.

7. Choose industrial style lighting for a modern look

(Image credit: Jemma Watts)

Love the indoor-outdoor space blending trend? It's not just about making the outdoors look like indoors; it can work the other way around too. If you want to bring a bit of industrial, outdoorsy chic into your bathroom, try fitting wall lights designed for the exterior.

8. Create a feature in a small bathroom

(Image credit: Cult Furniture )

If you're working will a small bathroom, your task is to add dimension and mimic the illusion of space. A glass pendant is the perfect bathroom lighting, plus is a nice way to add subtle drama and the diffused light effect will visually enhance the space, drawing attention to the interesting shapes rather than to the size of the room.

See more small bathroom ideas in our gallery.

9. Hand pendant lighting in groups

(Image credit: David Woolley)

Loving the whole vibe of this bathroom! Also loving how the cluster of pendant lights are a super practical solution for softly lighting above the bath, but work perfectly with the style of the room. They bring a touch of that industrial drama but don't draw too much focus in this already quite busy bathroom.

10. Go bold with your bathroom lighting

(Image credit: Katie Lee)

When we say bold, we mean chandelier. And if you're blessed with a large bathroom, the world is your oyster when it comes to bathroom lighting, so to really make the most of the big space, get a statement chandelier. It will work, and traditional bathrooms do especially well with a vintage-style glass chandelier like the one below.

11. Use glass wall lights for a retro chic look

(Image credit: Davey Lighting)

Want to create a vintage-inspired bathroom without actually using vintage fixtures and fittings? Subtly rounded glass lights with metal fixtures will give you the right look. Pick traditional incandescent lightbulbs to complete the vintage effect.

12. Add New England chic with a brass pendant

(Image credit: Davey Lighting)

Love the simplicity of New England decorating style? To add that East Coast charm to a traditional bathroom, go for a large, brass pendant.

We really like the way that the Quad Pendant Light by Davey Lighting combines vintage-industrial and nautical influences, but still looks delicate enough to complement a neutrally decorated bathroom.

13. Match bathroom lighting fixtures to existing fittings

(Image credit: Drummonds)

To pull together your bathroom decor, think about how the different materials will interact. Marble looks great when contrasted with a brass or gold finish, while tile will look great with a cool-toned metal or chrome. For a really defined, smart look, match the lighting fixtures to the finish of all the other fittings.

14. Bathroom mirrors with lights create a spa look

(Image credit: Norsu Interiors)

Backlit bathroom mirrors are the ultimate streamlined bathroom lighting solution. No fixtures to fit, no pendants you might walk into. Plus, they're very useful for when you're applying makeup.

We have more colorful bathroom ideas in our gallery.

15. Pick affordable light up mirrors to add a soft light

(Image credit: ikea)

We love these Ikea mirrors, and if you are looking for some bargain bathroom lighting the Storjorm would be our top pick. It's practical for things like shaving and doing makeup but also just add a lovely softness to a room. Oh, and they are a really great price too.
