Decorating & Design Ideas

The NKBA helps you express your individuality

The home is a place where your individuality shines through. From your decorating style to your color scheme--they all say something about you.

The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) provides some finishing touches for your new or remodeled bathroom that may help give your bath that unique look.

• Attach a beveled mirror to the wall over the sink and frame it with tiles. You can use a selection of mix-and-match tiles or try some colorful mosaics.
• If your bathroom has a linen closet with a door, replace the door with a framed trellis or a reproduction of a Victorian screen door.
• Add accent lighting, like a low-voltage strip of lights around the top edge of the wall tile.
• Fill antique bowls or shaving mugs with pretty toiletries, such as soaps and bath salts.
• Add a simple detail, such as a picture rail or shelf along one wall, to display framed prints or small collectibles like perfume bottles.
• Line an entire wall with mirrored cabinets. They will make the room look significantly more open.
• If you have room, consider adding a piece of outdoor furniture like a wicker chair or table.
