Plus: 3 easy bathroom updates


Can’t swing a full-on renovation? No worries––here are some quick ways to spruce up your space.


Light it up


Think beyond the same old inset canisters: Adding an offbeat fixture can help redefine a space, as seen here in furniture designer Susan Hornbeak-Ortiz’s San Juan Capistrano, California, bathroom. “The rest of the room is so modern and clean, it needed an exclamation point,” she says. Lush potted orchids (the plants thrive in moist, well-lit quarters) next to the sink add a dynamic finishing touch.


Go low-flow yet luxe


One of the simplest, low-cost-but-high-impact upgrades you can do is replace your showerhead. The options for eco-conscious water-saving models are better-looking than ever—like this oversize, rain-can style, which features clean lines and a wide, satisfyingly powerful spray. Best yet, it can be screwed on in just seconds (no tools required!) and rings in at less than $30. Opella by DeNovo Rain 6-in. Chrome Showerhead, $27; overstock.com


Hang bold artwork


For this L.A.-area master bath, designer Melissa Warner of Massucco Warner Miller Interior Design brought in a massive abstract photograph, mounting it in acrylic plastic to protect the image from splashing water. Still, steam might get in, so don’t use anything irreplaceable. “And if space permits, go big; it’ll make the bathroom feel like more of a destination,” advises Melissa.
