One of the best rooms decorated in a home that will bring the greatest return on the investment is the bathroom. The point is to make it the best possible space for the owner's personal situation and lifestyle. That would also include taking into consideration personal style. Below are some special tips from Interior design Maryland experts to guide homeowners in their quest for the perfect bathroom.

The first thing to consider is the actual layout. Homeowners need to ask themselves questions with regards to whether they are happy with the layout or if it needs some adjusting. If any pieces need to be moved, there will be a considerable cost involved thanks to the plumbing redesign.

For someone on a budget, the best solution is to maintain the layout as it is. The changes will come with the toilet, sink, the vanity, and the like. One of the biggest issues with older bathrooms is that they show their age through the tiles. In the past, it was very fashionable to tile right up to the ceiling and all around the bathroom walls. The simplest solution is to remove it, leaving only that which remains in the bathtub area. From there, this area can be covered with a beautiful, easy to clean tub surround. The rest of the walls can be left bare, with a nice color.

One of the best tricks that interior designers use with regards to a vanity is to buy an old dresser or dining room hutch and alter it to serve as a vanity. Many of these can be purchased in garage sales or moving sales at a very low cost. They can be sanded by the owner to save money, or sent out for a professional finish.

Ensure there is storage that will be able to accommodate all the bathroom supplies for every family member. Be sure that there are several drawers to house all the little things. The sink should be a new one, and there are lots to choose from. But don't stop there, and ensure there is a new tap installed.

Today, there are numerous options with regards to sink design, shapes and sizes, as well as with taps, so it's easy to get a very unique look. Next comes a new mirror. Whether it's a medicine cabinet that allows for extra storage or just a stock mirror is also a personal choice. On a budget, the latter is recommended, and it can also help to make the bathroom look much larger.

A lighted vanity mirror can really go a long way with makeup, shaving, and so on. However, if choosing a simple large mirror, it should be flanked on either side with wall sconces. The right lighting in this space is crucial, so don't skimp in this area. Be sure there is plenty of general light overhead, as with pot lights and even a chandelier, in a wall sconces.

Be sure that all the taps and fixtures match. Choose the right towels and rug, as well as a shower curtain that tie into the space beautifully. Next, choose accessories, such as the towel rack, the soap dispenser, the doorknob, cabinet pulls, in a style and finish that match. Not only will this be an updated bathroom, it will also increase the value of a home.
