A bathroom renovation not only improves your lifestyle it also adds value to your home. But it often needs the eye of a designer to pull a look together.Interior designer Brian Haftka was asked to renovate a dated bathroom in this traditional villa.

So we opted for subtle variations on the theme," says Haftka.

Walls were painted in an off-white shade with a hint of grey to complement the marble, and the vanity cabinetry was lacquered to match. Other surfaces include high-gloss white wall tiles, and charcoal porcelain tiles on the floor and tub surround.To enhance the serenity of the space, Haftka added bifold windows beside the tub. These overlook the garden.For most families, the first challenge in such a project involves financial planning, and this is something that is best sorted at the outset.
