Oh, that fear — you awake in the middle of the night to have a trip to the bathroom, but you understand that cold tile will chill all the toastiness right out of your feet. Or you come in from a chilly soccer match longing to have a luxurious soak in the bathtub, but the idea of shedding your layers of fleece prevents you in your paths. Soon it’ll be that time of year when you want your bathroom to raise your body temperature. Listed below are 15 suggestions which range from something you can do in minutes for a few bucks to dream-space renovation ideas.

Add a comfy rug. A bathroom mat does not need to be a shaggy little rectangle. Add an Oriental rug to enjoy underfoot during winter and autumn. The rich colours will heat up the look of the space as well.
Be sure to add a rug pad or rug tape which will grip the floor beneath any bathroom rug to prevent slips.
Lesher Natural Tile, & Stone, Quartz
Blend amazing natural materials. Soapstone sinks atop hardwood countertops add so much warmth to this bathroom. The look reminds me of a stone outcropping in the woods’ beauty.

Take a different approach to lighting. We tend to think there is a particular sort of characterless light we will need to choose for toilets, such as those flush-mount “boob lights.” This isn’t accurate; open your mind and browse the sort of lighting you’d usually connect with a foyer or dining room.
If you’re installing a dangling chandelier or pendant light in a bathroom, work with a certified electrician who understands the codes indoors and out. A chandelier cannot be within reach of somebody standing in a bathtub filled with water; the fittings will also have to be properly grounded, and you’ll require a high ceiling.

Contemplate heated flooring. Among the most luxurious things you can do to create your bathroom toasty in chilly weather is spend in radiant-heat flooring. If you are planning any renovations, then find out more about exactly what this entails and the payoffs are.
If you don’t have space in the budget for such a large investment, then talk to your electrician about installing a bathroom-safe heater you’ll be able to turn on prior to your shower or bath. Again, I stress, working with accredited experts is crucial; you do not want to scrimp on security with electronics in the bathroom.

Get your towels toasty. Heated towel bars add luxury to the bath, giving you a superb way to wrap up when you measure from a steamy shower.

Christopher Patrick Interiors
Rev up the wall color. So a lot of today’s most beautiful bathrooms are crisp and white, but that’s definitely not a necessity. Whether working with wall coverings, paint or tile, think outside the usual bathroom color palettes if the notion of white marble leaves you cold.
Antonio Martins Interior Design
Contain antiques. The well-worn patina of this table-turned-vanity along with the eclectic miners’ oil lanterns add warmth and personality to a white bathroom. There are votive candles in the lanterns for comfy light that creates a relaxing ambience.

Invest in a bathtub which can help retain heat. Materials like aluminum, brass, volcanic limestone and soapstone keep heat and can help to maintain that sexy bathwater warm while you enjoy the entire new problem of Folks.
Am I the only one that gets a Folks from the mail and believes, “Sweet! It is Folks and bath time for me tonight”? Just wondering.
Peter Rose Architecture + Interiors Inc..
Install a steam shower. This is a big-ticket dream-space thing, but everybody I know who’s one appears to think they can’t live without it. I did get an opportunity to test one out at a vacation rental after, and I can report that it was celestial.

Marsh and Clark Design
Consider a home sauna. Historically much more common in countries such as Sweden, saunas are getting more popular in the States.

Andre Rothblatt Architecture
Believe steampunk. Winter attracts dark, moody days. Rather than fighting the moodiness, this designer celebrated it, gorgeous us with aluminum pipes and that conservative high-end tank. (Remember how amazing you thought those were at TGI Fridays in the ’80s?)

Tyrrell and Laing International, Inc..
Let in the light. Windows, skylights and a crystal clear glass shower surround take advantage of natural light. If your issue is privacy, research using transoms, acid-etched glass and clerestory windows.

Get woodsy. At a ski house, cabin or lake house, it’s part of the adventure to go full scale woodsy in the bathroom. If you like the look, go ahead and get it done in your home, however, do consider whether or not you’ll tire of it, especially during the summer.
Ashley Campbell Interior Design
If you would like to really go “woodsy light” instead, give the forest a nod rather than a bear hug. Knotty pine walls aren’t a necessity — you can get your woodsy on with beautiful fabrics that reveal branches and trees, plus a wood-framed mirror and other small accessories.
Space Fu – Knockout Interiors
Add a sunny shower curtain. Yellow will liven up a dark winter’s evening.
Atlanta Design Works
Likewise, patterns can cozy up the bathroom.
Studio William Hefner
Add a fireplace. This is one of the most luxurious bathroom features I can envision. The first time I saw one or heard of it had been in a house that had belonged to a Harlem Globetrotter. (And now I am doing their whistle …)
actually, should I win the lottery, then this is the first bathroom design move I’m going to make.
