Bathroom Design And Decorating Ideas

If you think your bathroom needs a makeover, pick up a pile of home decorating/interior design magazines and you should find a selection of bathroom design and decorating ideas to inspire you.

However, bathroom decorating ideas don’t have to come from experts. The inspiration for decorating the perfect bathroom could come from something you love which is in the bathroom.

Take a look at your bathroom as it is. What color are your bathroom fixtures? What color are the things you can’t afford to change? What do you love about your bathroom?

Is there something in the bathroom that you really like – it could be something as simple as a bar of soap in the shape of a seashell, or perhaps a motif on one of your towels, or tiles? For example, suppose you have white bathroom fixtures and gold finished fittings.

Now, perhaps you have a bar of soap which shows a sprig of lavender and you keep it in the vanity cupboard to take out now and again to remind yourself of the holiday you took to Scotland. Using the soap as your inspiration, paint your bathroom walls a pale lavender color, this will contrast nicely with the white and gold that you can’t change.

Find a couple of sketches of lavender in a magazine or book and enlarge them (copyright permitting), place them in gold frames (to match the fittings) and then hang them on the walls to take the plainness off them. Buy a couple of darker lavender towels to put on your towel rack.

Take a look around a market or thrift store for a dried lavender arrangement for the window ledge (these are great places for picking up bathroom design and decorating ideas!), and a small bottle of lavender essential oil.

Add a few drops of the oil to the arrangement and it will slightly scent the bathroom. Using either lavender colored candles in frosted glass holders, or white candles in lavender glass holders, place a few small candles where it’s safe to light them – remember to keep the matches well out of the reach of little fingers should you have children in your home.

Add any other “finishing touches” you would like and there you are, a transformed bathroom on a theme inspired by a bar of soap!

Bathroom design and decorating ideas are easy to find, and a bathroom is usually an easy room to transform with little more than a coat of paint and a visit to the thrift store – or even a rummage through your own home for the finishing touches that make all the difference!

Think about what there is in your bathroom that could create a theme you’d really like, and then set yourself a budget and start transforming today! You’ll be surprised at how fast it can change when you’re working with existing fixtures and fittings!
