Minimalist decor For a complete integration of bedroom and bathroom, it’s crucial to keep things simple. An overtly striking design will draw too much attention to the unusual arrangement of bed and sink in the same room, ultimately becoming distracting. Minimalist decor and toned-down colour schemes that interact harmoniously in both areas are a safe bet. Clear doors To find a balance between a completely open bathroom and a closed-off space, implement a glass wall with a clear door. This will afford some privacy while allowing plenty of light into both areas of the home. To maintain a good aesthetic flow, install continuous flooring across the two rooms. Unlike regular wood, the wood-style tiles in this home are waterproof so you can use them in the shower and it also makes the cleaning of both the bathroom and bedroom especially easy.

To achieve this look, opt for shiny finishes, sleek aesthetics and large-format veined marble tiles that create a seamless look. A bedroom on an elevated platform gives extra dimension to the space and helps to visually distinguish the two areas. 53
