The Do\u2019s: 3 Universal Bathroom Trends<\/h2>\n

1. Do Design for the Future<\/h3>\n\"Walk-In\n

If you want to live in your home for many years to come, you should plan for your future needs. This starts with getting your bathroom aging-in-place ready<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One way to achieve a universally accessible bathroom is to install safety equipment like easy-to-reach shelving and grab bars around the toilet. These products prevent you from overextending or doing strenuous movement, which can cause a loss of balance. Adding these accessories is a quick and inexpensive way to increase your security and stability.<\/p>\n

Another option is to install a new walk-in tub, which is designed for accessibility, safety and comfort. To help you remain independent at home, the KOHLER\u00ae<\/sub> Walk-In Bath has one of the lowest step-ins<\/a> in the industry, along with hydrotherapy whirlpool jets<\/a> that massage away any muscle soreness.<\/p>\n

Preparing your bathroom for the future now will help ensure you can remain independent at home well into your golden years. Explore our Bath Safety Guide<\/a> to learn more ways to make your bathroom a safer space.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The Don\u2019ts: 3 Bathroom Design Mistakes<\/h2>\n

1. Don\u2019t Use the Wrong Wall Paint<\/h3>\n\"Hand\n

Before you can give your bathroom a fresh coat of paint, consider what type of paint is best<\/a> for the space. Water and steam are inevitable, so paint that\u2019s resistant to mold, mildew and water is essential for your walls to stay pristine year after year. Choosing a paint with a semi-gloss finish and prepping your walls with primer also help with longevity. Once that\u2019s done, you can move on to the fun part: picking the color.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

2. Don\u2019t Skimp on Storage<\/h3>\n\"Open\n

Keeping your bathroom neat and organized can feel like a losing battle without proper storage. Luckily, there are tons of organizing solutions that are as stylish as they are functional. Classic space-saving favorites include mirrored medicine cabinets, over-the-door organizers, storage ladders and lazy susans. Try these 8 bathroom storage and organization tips<\/a> to maximize every inch of your space.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

3. Don\u2019t Forget About Lighting<\/h3>\n\"Purple\n

One source of lighting isn\u2019t enough to properly illuminate grooming areas or set the mood for relaxation. Instead, embrace a mix of natural and artificial lighting to fully brighten your space and cast out shadows. For the best effect, layer ambient lighting, accent lighting and task lighting. Explore the best types of lighting for your bathroom<\/a> to start your day off right.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
