The space doesn't have to feel clinical or prefabricated. "I don't like the bathroom to look just like a bathroom. It is a room after all, and the elements in it can take on the feeling of furniture," Ingram says.

Chests may be plumbed and converted into vanities. Pharmacy cabinets, console tables, decorative mirrors, and comfy chairs will make appealing additions, too.
