1 Think furniture. Vanities that look like dressers, ornate wood-frame mirrors and upholstered chairs can give an intimate charm to the bathroom. Are you an avid DIYer? Retrofit a salvaged desk or farm table with a sink fixture.
2 Skip sleek. Pass on brushed metal or clear glass storage accessories and opt instead for woven baskets or painted antiqued boxes to stash extra towels and toiletries.
3 Be artful. Grace the walls with groupings of art in delicate frames. (Although we don't recommend putting treasured photos or pricey items in a bath due to the potential for water damage.)
4 Warm your toes. Radiant-heat flooring not only keeps your tootsies cozy on cold days, it can also help lower heating bills. Check with a contractor to learn the options for the type and installation method that's right for your home. Baths are a good candidate for radiant-heat floors, since tile is one of the most efficient conveyors of heat created by a subfloor system. (Wood or laminate are okay too, but act as mild insulators against the radiant heat.)
5 Express yourself. Have a small collection of vintage tins or ceramic vases? Displayed on a shelf they add personal flair and warmth to a powder room.
6 Take the paper route. In the bath, one roll of wall covering is often all you'll need. And don't worry about the damp environment ruining your wallpaper. Today's designs are made to resist humidity.
