Small spaces have one great advantage: you can put in as much detail and can still look great. That’s the concept behind “jewel box” bathrooms. Local bathroom remodel expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Aiken explains everything you need to know about this design concept.
The Jewel Box Concept
A jewel box bathroom or powder room is a small bathroom that homeowners transform into a dazzling, luxurious space. The allure of these bathrooms lies in their detailed design, rich textures, vibrant colors and, at times, whimsical elements that command attention. Unlike larger bathrooms where design elements are often spread out, the compact size of a jewel box bathroom allows for more budgetary room to splurge on high-end finishes and accessories to achieve one’s preferred design aesthetic.
Elevating Design with Vivid Patterns and Colors
One standout feature that can be incorporated in a jewel box bathroom renovation is the use of bold, vibrant wall coverings. Wallpaper, in particular, plays a pivotal role in adding personality and depth to the small space. From geometric patterns to lush botanicals, the wall becomes a canvas for expression. Local flora or patterns that reflect the coastal lifestyle can add an intimate connection to the location.
Luxurious Materials and Custom Details
The materials used in these bathrooms are anything but ordinary. Marble or any other high-end natural stone, intricate tile work and custom vanities can turn a simple bathroom into a lavatory of luxury. Fixtures that come in sophisticated finishes add a touch of elegance and warmth, acting as jewelry within the space. A local twist might include custom pieces created by local artisans for further personalization and uniqueness.
Lighting: The Crown Jewel
Lighting is an essential component of any remodel project, even more so in a jewel box bathroom, turning the space into a crown jewel. A statement chandelier or a pair of elegant sconces can heighten the sense of luxury and create a focal point. The goal is to complement the rich materials and colors with lighting that not only serves a functional purpose but also enhances the bathroom’s aesthetic appeal.
Incorporating Personal Touches
Personalization breathes life into a jewel box bathroom. Whether it’s a piece of art, a vintage rug or a unique mirror, adding personal touches makes the space truly one’s own. Local or personally significant motifs can make the jewel box bathroom a homage to individual taste and local culture.
