It doesn't mean that everything has to match perfectly to look nice in your home. Bronze door handles don't necessarily have to be everywhere. However, a contrasting design such as bronze with silver can be too distracting. 

If you have a master bathroom, it's important to combine the styles. Use a bright and loud color that doesn't distract from the main room's theme. The bedroom should flow well from it, without compromising its grandeur. 

According to the old saying, "Add not change." You should also consider "functional zoning". This is a great way of designing your bathroom layout around the idea of functionality. 

Consider how you will be using the space instead of looking at it from a design point of view. Planning an efficient space requires you to consider your lifestyle and how the space will be used. Include this information if you're renovating your bathroom.

It is crucial that you choose the best layout for your bathroom room. This applies not only to yourself but also to your visitors. Instead of using your private bathroom next to your bedroom, guests and neighbors will most likely use the bathroom in your home. 

Powder rooms were first used in the 18th-century for this purpose. Powder rooms are now equipped with a toilet, a sink and a shower. You can design your own powder room by locating it near your front door or in one of your more public rooms. 

A powder room is typically 20 sq. feet in size. It can easily be attached to a living area or hallway. If your powder room has limited space, pedestal sinks will work well to make it more spacious and provide sufficient legroom for your guests. 

Certain measurements and specifications are necessary to conform with the IRC. You must always have the sink and toilet available. For most bathroom remodeling projects, however, this is an easy task.
