The original bathroom is nicely light and bright and has solid neutral elements in place, such as handsome hex floor tiles, a goes-with-anything black-frame mirror and a simple but elegant frosted globe pendant.
But I’m always curious how homeowners can transform a space with color and a few other small adjustments — changes that don’t need to break the bank to implement. So let’s see what happens when we play around with this bathroom design a bit.
