Different Ways To Decorate A Bathroom

There are many different ways to decorate a bathroom.


Bathrooms are an important room in the house. Although they are usually one of the smallest areas in a home, they should not be neglected when it comes to decoration. Creating a comfortable and stylish yet functional bathroom can be easy and inexpensive. There are many different easy ways to decorate a bathroom.


Paint Colors


Paint can dramatically change the way a room looks and it is one of the easiest ways to start decorating a bathroom. Since the area of a bathroom is usually small and hidden away from the rest of the house, you can choose paint colors you love. Bright or dramatic colors that may be shocking in other areas of the house may look good in a bathroom.


It is a good idea to paint most of the walls a neutral color, though, and to have one bright or dramatic accent wall. This way, if you change your mind about your bathroom's design or decor, it will be easy to change because neutral colors go well with almost anything.


Modern style rooms should be painted in clean neutral colors such as white or gray. Country style bathrooms should be painted in soft muted tones like blue, pink, yellow and tan. Traditional colors range from neutral colors to jewel tones.


Accessories


Adding simple accessories to a bathroom is another easy way to decorate it. Shower curtains, area rugs, mirrors, window coverings, art pieces and other small accessories such as a waste basket or toothbrush holder can make a big difference in a bathroom. Bathroom accessories are often available in sets to ensure the uniformity of a bathroom's design.


For those working with a limited budget, decorating a bathroom can be as simple as buying new towels. Colorful coordinating or patterned towels instantly brighten up a dull bathroom.


Modern style accessories will be geometric in shape with clean lines, and may feature chrome or stainless steel finishes. Country style accessories are usually marked by floral, plaid or striped patterns. Traditional style accessories will resemble country style ones, only more formal in appearance.








Plants and Flowers








Live plants and flowers thrive in the moisture that usually exists in a bathroom. They add a beautiful decorative touch to any style bathroom, and are easy to find and maintain. They offer natural beauty to the design of a bathroom and have a relaxing and calming effect. For a plant that is beautiful and functional, choose aloe vera; you can use its gel for many different things.
