• Installing floating vanities will help open up floor space and add to a clean, modern appearance.

• Use frosted or sheer window treatments to let in natural light while keeping privacy intact, allowing for a well-lit private ambiance.

• Use frameless glass doors on shower enclosures to make the bathroom appear larger and more contemporary.

• Add an accent strip of tile in a shower or around a sink to bring in a touch of luxury without fully remodelling.

• Use recessed lighting in the ceiling and shower area to diffuse light softly, creating an even, soft ambiance that provides for serenity and relaxation.
