If you’re like a lot of people, then you probably find yourself drawn to more than one style when it comes to design in general.There are so many beautiful pictures out there of bathrooms in every style that it’s easy to, even just for a moment, find yourself loving modern design, or traditional, or rustic farmhouse.
These days, you can’t really go wrong with any style, because it’s totally acceptable, and even desirable to mix and match styles to your heart’s content.It’s a good idea to look back on your own personal tastes for the last 10 years or so and think about what you’ve always loved.There’s a good chance that you’ll continue to be drawn to that style for years to come.
I’ve always been a little traditional in my tastes, so for the things that would catch my eye first, like the shiny faucets and the light fixtures, I made sure that I kept them really traditional.Because I do enjoy modern style and conveniences too, when the time is right, I went with a pretty modern-looking tub and a really sleek toilet, which you’ll see in my next bathroom post.. Another tip for choosing a style that I love is to look at the exterior of your home when choosing the really eye-catching fixtures that will really dictate the overall “feel” of the room.
Take your cues from the style of your home’s exterior (or how you want your home’s exterior to look if you’re in the middle of renovating that too) and go with that.
We live in an old Victorian style farmhouse, so choosing fixtures that make sense for a house of that style and from that period, helps bring kind of a cohesive feel to the overall design of our house.I still see clever things that other bloggers are doing all the time and I definitely have the tendency to think that maybe if I just got up a little earlier, or stayed up a little later to sneak in some extra work time, then I could be clever like them too, but that’s just a losing battle.
Plus I have to remember that I’m already pretty clever in my own way.There will always be another new idea, another possible new income stream, another amazing project that your readers would love, but the best course of action, and the best use of your time, will always be to just carve out your own path, do things in a way that works for your life and your family, and just enjoy the success that it will bring you.
