Quick And Easy Bathroom Decorating Ideas
We often focus on decorating the bedroom or kitchen more than other rooms in the house. It is easy to overlook the bathroom. However, if you really think about it, the bathroom is in a sense, your haven. It’s the place where you can get complete and utter peace from the stresses of daily life.
The bathroom is often the most overlooked space in the house. You may have found the perfect home online (for example, on PropertyGuru), but the bathroom leaves much to be desired. No matter, this guide will provide you with plenty of decorating ideas that are quick and easy and won’t end up draining your bank account – well, not too much of course.
1. The paint job
One of the easiest and simplest ways to give your bathroom a quick
facelift is by giving it a paint job. Not only does this switch up your décor,
it gives your bathroom a hygienic edge too. If you are dealing with moisture
issues and moldy walls, a good coat of paint with additives can be just the
thing your bathroom needs to prevent mold
growth. Thus, do be sure that you check out all of the options on the
market before you settle on your paint. While you’re at it, don’t forget to
give your cabinets a fresh coat of paint as well. You can choose to go the
mono-tone route or give it a brighter color to give it more of a pop! There are
endless décor options to choose from to give your bathroom a whole new lease on
life.
2. The lighting
Sometimes, an upgrade in lighting can make a massive difference in
your bathroom. The kind of light fixture you choose can make or break your
space, especially in small spaces like the bathroom. If your fixtures are giving
your room a dated vibe, perhaps it’s time to look for a more modern option. For
example, consider replacing those standard fluorescent light fixtures with an
elegant chandelier. There are also plenty of other options available. Pendant
lights and bar lights are also popular options that add just the right touch of
modernity. Not only is lighting an opportunity to flex your personality, it
helps provide an alluring ambience in your bathroom. Do take note that if
there’s wiring to be done for the light fixtures, it’s best to leave that to a
professional lest you gamble with electrocuting yourself.
3. Fixtures and fittings
Fixtures and fittings are small elements in your bathroom that can
be easily overlooked. People often look at the big picture, and often neglect
the small things. Of course, who has time to think about towel racks or cabinet
handles when they’re thinking of making the largest impact. However, even the
little things such as the taps and faucet, or even the toilet roll holder, can
make a significant impact on your space. What’s more, these are simple upgrades
that you can make on the cheap to give your bathroom a completely new look.
While you’re at it, why not invest in soap holders and toothbrushes, or even a
rack for all your shower goodies? This attention to detail will being you far
in your bathroom decorating endeavor.
4. Textiles
Old and worn textiles such as bath mats and towels can sometimes
make your bathroom look tired, bringing down the whole energy of the space. If
your textiles have not been replaced in a while, perhaps you need to start
looking. Although they are meant to bring in comfort, they don’t have to be
totally utilitarian. Your bathroom textiles are a great opportunity to add in
dashes and splashes of color to liven up your space. Even adding a simple
shower curtain in an interesting pop of color can be useful.
5. Declutter
One of the biggest problems for small spaces is the clutter. A
cluttered bathroom just makes the whole place look messy, even when they’re clean.
With the myriad of items everyone has in their bathrooms, it’s easy to overlook
the clutter when it’s become the norm. Think about maximizing your storage surfaces
by adding floating shelves or even baskets mounted on the walls. Get creative
with your storage solutions. Tall pieces of slim furniture will do wonders for
your storage needs, while still taking up the least amount of space. If you
can’t add furniture, think about making the small storage solutions work. For
example, you can use a sugar bowl to store cotton balls and other odds and
ends, or even use a tall vase to hold toilet rolls. With everything in its
place, and when everything has a place, your bathroom will start to look more
organized and well-decorated.
6. Statement mirror
Your bathroom mirror may be serving its purpose well, but have you
given it the thought it deserves? You probably haven’t changed it since you
moved in. Heck, it might be very likely that the mirror was there before you.
Although it may be serving its purpose well so far, it is one of the easiest
ways to give your bathroom a facelift. Whether you prefer something small and
subtle or a large statement mirror, there is something available for every
taste and bathrooms of every size.
7. Go green
A bit of nature
can be just the finishing touch your bathroom needs. Consider adding some life
– and some color – into your bathroom with some greenery. Consider adding
potted plants – preferably one that does well in the heat and humidity of the
bathroom – like orchids or ivy. If your thumb isn’t green, not to worry. You
can always jazz up your space with some fake greenery – then, you don’t even
have to water them!
8. Art
Just because your bathroom is a space of function over form, doesn’t
mean it doesn’t deserve to be decorated in artwork. No matter your style or
taste, art has a place in every room. Although, you might have to treat your
art pieces to make them waterproof, or at least, more immune to the moisture.
If you have an existing piece that you think is perfect for your bathroom
space, you may be able to have it treated. Alternatively, you can also go for
some cheap and cheerful prints that can be easily tossed and replaced in the
event that they do get wet.
