Some say the bathroom is the most important room in the house. For most people, it's the place where you start and finish each day.

The essentials of a bathroom are practical — toilet, shower or tub and a sink — but a good bathroom has natural light, storage, organization, ample space and more.

"What makes a bathroom really great design-wise is how much personality it has from the people living in it," said Kristina Petit, a residential designer and owner of Kristina's Collective Interiors.

Petit says current bathroom design trends include more wood tones and natural materials like marble. She says custom mirrors, sconces, ambient lighting and tile can elevate a builder-grade or outdated bathroom.

Petit noted that small-format tile and tile borders or patterns in the floor or shower can offer a more customized aesthetic.

"I like to look first to the architecture," Petit said, "and then at the client's personal style when designing bathrooms."
