3. Don't Go Overboard

Take design cues from the house.

"Don't create a showroom out of a remodeled bathroom," Ingram says. "Use some of the same materials, colors, and textures that appear in the other rooms."

If the house has decorative wainscoting, arched doorways, beaded-board paneling, or similar points of style, consider echoing those features. An updated bath should not appear to be an island of architecture or design -- modernist touches will look out of place in a cottage, for example. The goal is a renovation that harmonizes with the existing structure.
