Many people are renovating to accommodate remote work and remote learning, but home offices and homework spaces are not the only areas to focus on when you’re refreshing your home. With the new perspective of home as sanctuary, a Manhattan bathroom remodel might be exactly what you need to take your space to the next level. 

If you’re thinking about revamping one or more bathrooms in your home, consider these popular Manhattan bathroom remodel ideas.

1. Textured Tile

If you gravitate toward a simple, neutral color palette that will always be in style, perk it up with textured tile. Whether you choose a playful circle pattern, artful geometric shapes, or gentle waves, a little texture goes a long way to engage the senses in an otherwise quiet space. You can use these types of tiles on shower walls, floors, and backsplashes behind sinks to create subtle, elegant details.

2. Whimsical Wallpaper

Although some people shy away from bold patterns in small spaces, finding just the right wallpaper in a powder room or master bath can completely transform the room. Keep the rest of the furnishings and fixtures simple so the space doesn’t feel too crowded. If you don’t have the natural instincts to choose a pattern that pops without overwhelming, this is the perfect opportunity to work with an interior designer or architect who can help guide you.

3. Floating Vanities

One way to make a small bathroom feel larger is to install a custom floating vanity. Although it might not seem like much, being able to view more of the floor adds a sense of airiness that you can’t achieve with heavy furnishings on the floor. With a custom vanity, you have the freedom to choose how many sinks and faucets you want, the exact size of the piece, the layout of the storage solutions, and the materials and finishes that can tie the room together.

4. Stylish Lighting

Much like with kitchens, it’s critical to have good lighting in a bathroom, but that doesn’t mean it has to be sterile and uninviting. Bathroom remodels create an opportunity to go beyond the utilitarian and incorporate the stylish elements that make a space truly unique. 

Use a combination of bulbs and fixtures to achieve the various types of lighting you might want—brighter, more focused light for putting on makeup, a gentle wash of light along the wall for relaxing, and so on. Don’t forget about all those small spaces that are harder to see. Custom bathroom cabinet lighting is not only functional, but it also looks great. 

5. Built-In Nooks

Bathroom storage is a fact of life, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be beautiful. Built-in shelving and storage nooks can be customized to meet your particular needs. Whether they’re integrated into the tile, made from a live-edge plank, or carefully crafted from stone, these types of details make the space feel both less cluttered and more special.

6. A Spa Sanctuary

Although not every home has the space required to create the full spa experience, you can add a touch of luxury by incorporating one or more of these elements into your new bathroom:

• Jacuzzi tub
• Steam room
• Sauna
• Massage area
• Changing room   

Of course, if you do have the room, why not use all of these ideas in your bathroom remodel?
