5 Tips for Designing a Bathroom That Reflects Your Bold, Personal Style

What comes to mind when talking about home renovations? Probably the challenge of choosing the perfect marble countertop for your kitchen, or transforming an empty terrace into a cozy family retreat. But one area that’s often overlooked is the bathroom.

While it may seem like an afterthought in interior design, a well-designed bathroom can dramatically uplift the overall aesthetic of your home. More than just the room you go to when nature calls, the bathroom is also meant to be a place of relaxation and relief. Yet, too often, people underestimate the potential of this space, treating it as merely functional. With the right vision, your bathroom can become a stylish sanctuary that reflects your individuality.

Crafting a gorgeous, “statement bathroom” doesn’t have to be complicated. Take a look at fashion designer Puey Quiñones’s private bathroom in his Makati atelier. It’s a seamless extension of his bold design philosophy, where his eye for tailoring and elegance is reflected effortlessly into the space.

Designed by architect Cathy Saldaña, Quiñones’s bathroom was recently featured in Wilcon Depot’s Do It With Wilcon Magazine. By looking at the photos, you’ll see that designing a bathroom with impact is all about thoughtful details, clever use of space, and excellent sanitaryware choices.

Here are 5 practical yet artful ways you can take inspiration from Quiñones’s stunning bathroom.

1. Catch attention with an accent wall.

The accent wall is the first wall you see when you enter a room. Using foliage wallpaper—or any other dynamic, colorful wallpaper—is a great way to enliven your bathroom, providing a beautiful contrast to the more classic sanitary hardware.

2. Go for fixtures with a black metal finish.

A black metal finish has a timeless quality that transcends trends, making it a versatile choice that complements various design styles. Fixtures in black such as the faucet, shower, and bidet bring a touch of understated simplicity.

3. Pick a striking sink.

An East Asian-themed or uniquely shaped sink provides an interesting focal point in the bathroom. It adds a hint of artistry that enhances the bathroom’s character.

4. Maximize smart storage solutions.

Built-in open shelves and vertical storage options can free up floor space. Woven, basket-like pieces keep essentials organized while adding texture and warmth to the bathroom decor.

5. Get a sleek and modern-looking water closet.

A bathroom isn’t complete without a water closet. Saldaña chose a sleek, heavy-duty two-piece option by Pozzi for Quiñones’s atelier bathroom. Its white and glossy finish is both classic and clean. This particular style, the Pozzi Loggetta with Geberit Torpedo Flush, boasts innovative toilet features, such as a reliable siphonic jet flushing (for a quiet, powerful flush), globally renowned tank fitting (for less maintenance), and low-water consumption (for a sustainable living), among others. With its compact size, it’s ideal for any bathroom, optimizing space without sacrificing comfort.
