How to Get the Look: Restoration Hardware Bathrooms

Just last Christmas, I walked through our Salt Lake Restoration Hardware.  I had just put together a design for a large bath remodel and hunted down all the lighting, mirrors, tile, sconces, and fixtures (faucets).  My bathroom design had so many of the same features of the exquisite bathrooms at RH!

With these 5 items, and some white pops of color, you've got Restoration Hardware:

1. A Restoration Hardware vanity MUST look like furniture.

2. A Restoration Hardware bath floor cannot look like tile.  In fact, there isn't much tile in an RH bathroom.  In showers, the focus is on the fixtures and the glass and accessories, not the tile.  I would recommend wood-look tile however, because real wood floors in a bathroom is just begging for water damage.

3. A Restoration Hardware bath has widespread, crosshandle faucets.  Don't buy an off brand of fixture (faucet) here.  Plumbers in Salt Lake prefer Moen and Delta brands because of the easy and infrequent repairs they require.

4. A Restoration Hardware bath has individual frames over each sink that look like they could easily go in a living room.  And don't be afraid to choose a different mirror frame metal from your faucet and lighting.

5. A Restoration Hardware bath has wall sconces on each side of the mirrors.  Often, these sconces have a lot of chrome and a matte opal glass.  Choose something that is more modern and less matchy-matchy with the traditional furniture-looking vanity.

Carrara White Marble Counters

All of these medium and dark tones need some pops of white.  Make it all work with a near-white paint color and some carrara marble countertops.
