Designing a Better Bathroom: 5 Practical Tips That Start With the Essentials

Our Top Style Tips

Bathrooms might be small, but they pack a punch when it comes to design. A well-thought-out bathroom isn’t just nice to look at—it should be durable, easy to maintain, and built to handle daily use. Whether you're planning a renovation or new build, here are five bathroom design tips that put the most important fixtures and finishes at the center of your vision.


1. Start With Fixtures That Last

Let’s be honest: your sink, faucet, and toilet do most of the heavy lifting. So, it’s worth choosing well-constructed plumbing fixtures, in other words ALL BRASS CONSTRUCTION AND CERAMIC CARTRIDGES, that combine form and function. Whether you're going for sleek and modern or more classic styling, look for pieces that are built from high-quality materials and designed with daily use in mind.

🚿Style Tip: Matte black or brushed gold faucets are trending, but chrome and stainless steel remain timeless choices that work with almost any palette.


2. Consider Quartz for Clean Style

Quartz isn’t just for the kitchen. It’s also a smart, durable choice for bathroom vanities and countertops. It resists stains, handles moisture well, and offers a clean, polished look that’s easy to maintain. Plus, with a variety of neutral and bold patterns available, quartz makes it easy to elevate the space without over-complicating the design.

🧼 Why It Works: Quartz is nonporous, making it a hygienic and low-maintenance option for busy bathrooms.


3. Put Your Feet First With SPC Flooring

SPC (stone polymer composite) flooring—also known as resilient luxury vinyl plank (LVP)—is one of the best choices you can make for a bathroom floor. It’s 100% waterproof, resistant to scuffs and dents, and comes in a range of wood-look and stone-look finishes. Plus, its textured surface helps reduce slips and gives a softer feel underfoot.

🛁 Design Detail: Using the same SPC flooring in your bathroom and nearby hallways creates a smooth, unified look throughout the home.


4. Don’t Forget the Sink Space

The bathroom sink area is one of the first things people notice—so make it count. Consider a matching sink and faucet combo that aligns with your overall aesthetic. Pair with a quartz top and you're working with a trio that’s not only stylish but ultra-functional.

🪞 Small Upgrade, Big Impact: Swapping in a deeper basin or a high-arc faucet can immediately enhance both the look and usability of your vanity.


5. Keep It Simple, Functional, and You

At the end of the day, the best bathroom design is one that suits your lifestyle. Choose fixtures and finishes that are easy to clean, comfortable to use, and built to last. Trendy colors and tile patterns will come and go, but a dependable faucet, sleek quartz vanity, and waterproof floor are the kind of choices that pay off for years to come.


Final Thoughts

Great design starts with great products—and in a bathroom, that means thinking beyond just aesthetics. By focusing on durable, high-performing essentials like plumbing fixtures, quartz, and SPC flooring, you can build a space that feels as good as it looks.
