Interior decorating for a bathroom should combine functionality with aesthetics to create a clean, comfortable, and relaxing space. Here are some practical and stylish ideas:
Choose a Colour Scheme
- Light tones like whites, creams, soft greys, and pastels make small bathrooms feel larger.
- Bold colours like navy, emerald, and black can add drama but work best in larger or well-lit bathrooms.
- Contrast may be added against light tones with dark vanities, accent tiles, or black fixtures.
- For bold colours, lighter contrasts may be added, such as white or light coloured vanities, or white or light coloured tiles and fixtures.
Maximize Mirrors
- Large mirrors may be used to reflect light and make the room feel bigger.
- Try round mirrors for a softer, modern look or ornate frames for a touch of elegance.
Add Natural Elements
- Plants like ferns, pothos, or peace lilies thrive in bathroom humidity.
- Use wood accents (stools, shelving, trays) for warmth and spa-like vibes.
. Storage That’s Stylish
- Use floating shelves for towels and toiletries.
- Wicker baskets, ladder shelves, and recessed niches add charm and function.
Consider a vanity with drawers over one with just doors for better organization.
. Upgrade Lighting
- Install a statement light fixture, like a pendant or mini chandelier. for personality.
- Use layered lighting such as ceiling, mirror, and under-shelf.
Dimmable lights can also be used to create a relaxing atmosphere for baths.
Wall & Floor Decor
- Go for interesting tile patterns: herringbone, chevron, or geometric.
- Use peel-and-stick wallpaper for a non-permanent touch of personality.
- Hang minimalist or coastal art that’s moisture-safe to enhance the ambience.
Functional Luxuries
- Add a rainfall showerhead, heated towel rack, or bath tray.
- Use glass shower doors instead of curtains for a more open look.
- Lay down a plush bath rug or wooden bath mat for comfort.
Small Decor Touches
- Matching soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, and tissue boxes make a big difference.
- Use scented candles, diffusers, or bath salts in jars for a spa-like experience.
