Five bathroom updates that will help your space stand the test of time | Lifestyle

"Dadku waxay u badan yihiin inay ku dhacaan hal ama laba xero,” says interior designer Michael Winn of Winn Design and Build in Northern Virginia. "Waxay rabaan musqul aad u qurux badan, or they want something contemporary and spalike, like the Four Seasons.” Translation: Dad badan, the bathroom might not be the place to get splashy with trends.

Laakiin ka waran haddii aad jeceshahay midabyo dhalaalaya iyo qaabab? “Mararka qaar, waxyaalaha ugu wakhtigoodu waa waxyaalaha aad jeceshahay,” says Katy Harbin, naqshadeeye fadhigiisu yahay North Carolina. "Waxaa jira dad dib u hagaajiya musqulahooda 10 sanado,” and for them, doorashada midabka rinjiga ee sanadka iyo qalabka waqtiga-waqtiga ah ayaa shaqayn kara.

Kuwa doonaya inay si sax ah u sameeyaan oo la sameeyo, inkastoo, Guuleysta, Harbin and Boston-based interior designer Erin Gates, qoraaga "Elements of Style Family,” agreed on five bathroom updates that are truly timeless.

palette cad oo dhanWhether you prefer a classic-looking bathroom or a spalike retreat, Winn says, “white doesn’t go out of style.” Think white paint, foorno, miiska dushiisa, vanities and textiles.

Haddi aad isku aragto in aad midab rabto, waxaad ku dari kartaa daawaynta daaqadaha iyo tuwaalada, Gates suggests, ama wallpaper iyo art. "Ka digtoonow inaad ku dhejiso warqadda gidaarka musqusha inta badan la isticmaalo oo leh qubeys, as the steam can sometimes cause the paper to peel.”

Harbin wuxuu jecel yahay tuwaalada cadcad oo leh goon ka duwan "midab qallafsan."

Doorashada midabka rinjiga saxda ah waxay noqon kartaa mid adag, Harbin says, marka waa muhiim inaad ka dalbato shaybaarada midabada waaweyn ee dukaamada rinjiga halkii aad ku tiirsanaan lahayd kaararka rinjiga. "Waxaad haysan kartaa musqul ciid ah, sida travertine aad u qurux badan, . . . iyo haddii aad ku dhejiso cad cad, si siman bay u dhacaysaa, but rich creams” will work, she says. Haddii aadan heli karin muunado waaweyn, hel dheri muunad oo rinji loox boodhadh ah si aad u aragto sida ay wax walba ugu muuqdaan iftiinka musqushaga hoostiisa. Rinjiga ag dhig shaybaarada tile-ka iyo miiska dushiisa si aad u hubiso inay dhamaantood wada shaqeeyaan.

Biraha isku dhafanIsku darka laba nooc oo bir ah oo meel bannaan ah ayaa u istaagi kara si ka wanaagsan sidii loo raaci lahaa hal dhammaystiran oo casri ah oo qolka oo dhan ah. Marka la eego biraha gaarka ah, "Nikkel oo dhalaalaya waa mid aan waqti lahayn,” Winn says. Gates, sidoo kale, waxay door bidaan nikkel la dhalaaliyay; musqushadeeda, waxay ku lamaanaysaa muraayad dahab ah.

Marka la isticmaalayo laba bir oo kala duwan (oo aan ka badnayn laba), Harbin says to “repeat them enough and it will look good.” Try using gold on knobs and a mirror and nickel on faucets and hardware, iyo laga yaabee inaad iftiiminayso, tusaale ahaan.

Maalgelinta qalab bir ah oo tayo sare leh ayaa sidoo kale kaa caawin doona cimri dherer. Tuubo leh qalabka naxaasta ah iyo tignoolajiyada biyaha fiican “waxa laga yaabaa in ay ka qiimo badan tahay bilowga, laakiin dib ayaad u mahadsantahay,” Harbin says.

Miisaska marmar"Marble, ama marmar faux, sida quartz oo leh muuqaal marmar ah, weligeed ka bixi mayso qaabka,” Winn says. Gates wuu aqbalay, iyadoo cod loogu qaaday marble Carrara.

Jilicsan, dhagax daloola waxa uu u baahan yahay dib-u-xidhid sannadle ah si loo ilaaliyo muuqaalkiisa, Winn says; Jiilasha cusub ee miisaska miiska ee agabka ka adag ayaa bixiya muuqaalka marmarka ah iyada oo aan la dayactirin. "Saraashka miisaska ayaa aad ugu fiican musqulaha isticmaalka culus, sida kuwa ay caruurtu isticmaalaan,” he explains. Marble-slab adag ayaa caadi ahaan ah $100 ku $200 cag laba jibaaran; “marble-like material” is about $45 ku $75 cag laba jibaaran, Winn says.

Qaababka foornada dhaqameedTalefoonka dhulka hoostiisa mara ee cad ee qubeyska ama qubeyska waligii ma da'weyn doono, Winn says. Dabaqyada, penny tile — white or black and white — is still found in homes built in the 1950s and ‘60s in North Arlington, Va., Winn says, laakiin macaamiishu waxay sidoo kale ku waydiisanayaan musqulo cusub. Noocyada kale ee qadiimiga ah waxaa ka mid ah qaabab saddex geesood ah iyo kuwo dambiilaha ah.

Doorashada taayiradan oo caddaan ah “waxyar bay ka fiicnaan doontaa,” Winn says, marka loo eego tiles midabyo dhalaalaya ama qaabab. (Haddii aad jeceshahay qaabka iyo midabka, Halkii laga heli lahaa qaab foorno aad u geesinimo leh, isku day roogag si fudud loo beddeli karo.)

Winn suggests white grout with white tile for a classic look. Dareen casri ah oo dheeraad ah, isku day dhuxul ama xabag madow oo leh tile cad. Sida cabbirka, sagxadaha dabaqa weyn, sida 8 by 8 inches ama 12 by 24 inches, waxay ka dhigi kartaa qol u ekaado mid weyn, "maadaama xariiqyada qashinka ah ay yihiin kuwo aan muuqan,” Winn says. Tiirarka yaryar - 1 by 1 inch ama 2.25 by 2.25 inches - sidoo kale waxay u fiican yihiin qolalka budada "si ay u abuuraan buuxa, repetitious look.” They can also be beneficial in a shower, sababtoo ah xariijimo badan ayaa ka hortagaya simbiriirinta, Gates says.

Wax aan waxba tarayn oo u eg alaabta gurigaWinn recommends a “free-standing, alaab guri-fasalka wax aan waxba tarayn,” which will “make the bathroom seem less utilitarian,” he says.

Gates waxay jeceshahay waxyaallaha aan waxba tarayn ee xorta ah ee leh albaabbada Shaker-ka oo waxay ka hoos dhigtaa saxanka - qaab ay ku leedahay qubayska. Habka Shaker waa mid fudud, she says, iyada oo aan faahfaahin qurux badan, waxayna ku qotontaa taariikhda. Gates recommends a custom vanity, haddii miisaaniyadu ogolaato.

Caddaan, gray and limed oak wood are all safe bets for a classic look that won’t age, she says. Qolka budada ah, Gates recommends a simple pedestal sink and free-standing cabinets or baskets to hold toilet paper and extra hand towels.
