1. Use Archways to Add Charm to Your Bathroom

Sharp lines feel harsh. Curves feel calm. That’s why archways work so well.

Add an arch to your shower, a doorway, or a shelf. You’ll soften the space without losing structure or adding any square footage.

Why homeowners love arches:

Arches add instant charm
They pair well with almost any style
They make a space feel custom, not cookie-cutter

At HEX, we’ve added archways to small and large bathrooms alike. The impact is always bigger than the arch itself.

2. Turn Your Shower Into a Wet Room

Want a spa feel? A wet room delivers on that.

Wet rooms use waterproof surfaces across the whole floor, so you can remove walls, ledges, and even doors to create an open, luxurious bathroom.

Why wet rooms work:

Ideal for custom or luxury homes
Easy to clean and maintain
Makes movement simple and safe

It’s modern. It’s sleek. And it’s practical, too. Our team knows how to slope floors, manage water flow, and build it right from the start. If your layout needs freedom, a wet room is your answer to elevating both style and function.

3. Build a Shower Niche

Clutter kills a beautiful bathroom quicker than anything else.

A niche is a shelf built into the shower wall. It keeps your bottles and necessities handy but out of the way and organized neatly.

Why shower niches matter:

Keeps the shower tidy
Has a custom, built-in look
It can be a design focal point with contrasting tiles

Niches can be wide, tall, double-stacked—whatever fits your space. Our advice? Plan it early so that it’s part of the design, not an afterthought.

4. Choose a Core Color and Stick With It

Color builds mood. Pick one tone and build around it. That’s your “core color.”

Choose soft white for a clean feel. Go deep blue for drama. Use sage green for a nature connection. One tone leads, the others follow.

Tips for choosing bathroom colors:

Start with the tile, then match paint and accents
Use your actual lighting to test tones
Stick to three shades max

Our interior design team will help you explore different colors in your bathroom, ensuring they’re the right fit for both natural light from the windows and your light fixtures.
