Decorating the Bathroom: Beautify Your Bathroom in Style
Inspiration & Planning
We spend a lot of time in the bathroom every day; it is one of the first places we go in the morning and one of the last places we go before bed. Given this, your bathroom should be more than just a functional room. It's also why decorating your bathroom to make it a lively and beautiful space is such a good idea. Whether you go with simple or fancier bathroom decorations will, of course, depend quite a bit on the style you choose for the entire room. This article will describe the options that are available to you and explain what items go particularly well together.
Respect the style
If you decide to decorate your bathroom in a specific style, then the bathroom decorations should also match the style you've chosen. This does not necessarily mean that everything has to be the exact same style – contrasting points can also help to create a sense of space. That said, a minimalist or Scandinavian-style bathroom, for example, needs to be decorated quite differently from an opulent luxury bathroom.
Choose the right materials
The bathroom decor materials should also complement and round out the rest of the bathroom. Marble accessories will fit right in with a marble bathroom. In contrast, accessories made of wood, for example, will work really well in a natural stone bathroom.
Coherent color scheme
When it comes to choosing the right colors for your bathroom, the bathroom decor can either underscore or contrast with the existing color scheme. Especially in rooms that rely heavily on a single color, using smaller items to create exciting contrasting points is a good idea to keep in mind when decorating your bathroom.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper is probably the most basic way to decorate bathroom walls. It should be noted that it might be necessary to use a special wallpaper because of the high humidity in certain situations. But apart from that, there really aren't many limitations – and the right wallpaper can completely transform your bathroom walls.
Pictures
If you don't want to go with mural wallpaper, then pictures are a great way to add some wall decor to your bathroom. Here, too, it's relatively easy to reflect or affect the entire atmosphere of the room. Whether it's a maritime scene, personal photographs, or abstract art, whether on canvas or in a frame, pictures are a perfect way to add that special touch to your bathroom.
Mirrors
Mirrors are a clear necessity in every bathroom. They're also a great way to combine the useful with the practical. Straightforward, understated mirrors will help highlight a minimalist style, while mirrors with elegant gold rims are an excellent option for decorating a luxurious bathroom.
Towel holders
Simple or striking, as a rail or as a ring – there are a number of different options for towel holders that can affect the overall character of your bathroom. The choice between matte black, metallic or gold and bronze finishes is another way to add some variety.
Soap dispensers
Soap dispensers are a great way to easily add a more extravagant or luxurious touch to your design. Soap dispensers made of marble or other high-quality materials make a perfect bathroom decoration.
Toilet paper holders and brushes
Even these everyday items can be used to create a stylish accent. Using different materials can go a long way when decorating your bathroom.
Baskets and bowls
Baskets are a great way to store everyday items in your bathroom. They can also be a great way to decorate your bathroom. Raffia baskets are a perfect fit for a more natural style, while metal mesh baskets will fit right into rooms with a modern, minimalist design. For a more luxurious design, bowls made of natural stone or marble can be a great choice.
Towel ladders
Choosing just the right towel ladder can make a big impression in any bathroom. You can match the material to the rest of the design to create a stylish accent.
By the way: Having plenty of storage space is also the best way to help keep your bathroom tidy.
Lights and candles
Good lighting is essential in the bathroom, especially for things like skin care,
shaving, and applying cosmetics. Lighting also plays a key role in creating a
pleasant atmosphere in your bathroom. It is usually a good idea to include
different lighting options when decorating your bathroom. Candles, in particular, can create a
special atmosphere that is perfect for a relaxing bath.
Rugs
Rugs can help make your bathroom a lot more
comfortable, and they're also a practical spot to stand when you're still
dripping wet after a shower or bath. They're also a great way to decorate your bathroom,
of course. In a bathroom design that focuses on wood and natural elements, for
example, the right rug can create the impression of a mossy forest floor.
Shower curtains
If you have an uncovered shower in your bathroom that needs a shower curtain, it goes without saying that this is another great opportunity to add some decor to your bathroom. Shower curtains come in every color imaginable, so you're sure to find a perfect match for the rest of the room.
Plants
Whether you go with a modern, classic or natural design, plants will fit right into every bathroom. However, it is important to pay particular attention to which plants for the bathroom are most suitable.
DIY and repurposed items
Nothing expresses your individuality as clearly
as hand-made items. Whether it's small decorations or larger items, if you want
to decorate your bathroom
with as much individuality as possible, a do-it-yourself approach is exactly
the right way to go. Repurposed items can also be a great way to express your
individuality. Empty wine crates, for example, are a really trendy replacement
for baskets in bathrooms with a natural or maritime design.
Striking patterns
Even if your bathroom design relies on a strict color
scheme, breaking things up with an unusual pattern can sometimes work wonders.
You can put a special touch on a bathroom with an opulent design, for example,
by including an animal-print throw rug. Wall tiles with a checkerboard pattern
can provide the perfect contrast in a room that otherwise relies heavily on
just one color.
Decorative options and art
Purely decorative objects can also look great in
your bathroom design. A classic or luxurious bathroom, for example, can be
enhanced by the addition of a stylish bust in the corner. If your preferences
tend more toward modern design, consider decorating your bathroom with a metal sculpture. A
sōzu, which is a classic Japanese
water feature made of bamboo, could be a great addition to a natural bath.
Don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild and get creative when turning
your bathroom into your new favorite room in the house.
