5. Bigger is Not Always Better

Pro Tips
- Try to keep things vertical: light fixtures, shelving. This way your minimal space will be maximized.
- MIRRORS! Mirrors are important to make the space feel bigger than it is.
6. Queue the Lights Please!
Keep your lighting simple and to a minimum. No one wants to go to the bathroom in the morning and be blinded by the lights. Make it your own. Don’t hold back. This particular bathroom remodel in La Jolla has a California, relaxed look. Remodel your bathroom to feel like an extension of you.

Pro Tips
Pros: The right lighting can accentuate a person’s best features and can be your bathroom’s greatest quality.
Cons: Too much light can make your bathroom feel like a hospital.
7. Keep it Environmentally Friendly
Most important of all bathroom design inspirations are to keep your home environmentally friendly. Try to use less water, buy eco friendly products, and reuse towels rather than paper.
Bathrooms are a place of a lot of water consumption and not always a simple place to conserve water. At Eco Minded Solutions, our main goal is to integrate your personal design style with the energy saving and clean products. See what we did to the bathroom in this whole home remodel in La Jolla.
Pro Tips
- Install aerators on shower heads and faucets to reduce water usage.
- Upgrade to a low-flow toilet to also reduce water consumption.
- Replacing your tanked water heater with a tank-less model will reduce the amount of energy consumed and the cost to heat water.
