AKL and Wayfair: The Bathroom Edit
Designing a bathroom on a budget? On the heels of last week’s Forbes, 10 Cheap and Inexpensive Bathroom Remodel Ideas, we’re sharing three custom moodboards and material selections, all within our AKL-aesthetic. We’re big fans of Wayfair, because there are so many options to help you design a functionally beautiful space without breaking the bank. Returns are also really easy, which is super important when you’re planning a home remodel on your own and may have miscalculations in the process.
But first, let’s cover a few helpful tips to help guide your project.
Embrace minimalism: Keep your design simple and streamlined so the space feels larger and lighter. Want to add a pop of calming color? Towels are the perfect way to do that.
Keep it balanced: The tile, finishes, rug, storage, and towels you choose come together to tell a visual story. Go with things that blend beautifully versus steal the show.
Measure, measure, measure: Before you order anything, be sure you know the dimensions of your space. And, be sure to think about scale so that the space feels balanced.
Consider form and function: Focusing solely on aesthetics without considering your practical needs results in a space that can’t live up to its purpose.
Layer lighting: Think in threes: Ambient, task, and accent lighting. We love side-mounted sconces next to mirrors. And, a gorgeous chandelier definitely draws the eye.
