Your bathroom can be that one-of-a-kind room full of spunk that is the topic of conversation among your friends, even through inexpensive decorating ideas that can be accomplished in no time.
Fun Kids Bathrooms
You can make a children's bathroom into an educational place to be. A shower curtain that is an map of the United States, with the names of the states and their capitols, will offer a jump start in learning. Have the wallpaper be an atlas of the world. This mapped bathroom will have your children be experts in geography in no time.
A kid's bathroom can be a tropical fish paradise, starting with wallpaper with various types of colorful tropical fish all over it. You can purchase fish that hang from the ceiling, such as on a fish mobile. Surrounding the room in this aquatic art will give you the feeling of being in a fish tank when you walk through the door.
Adult Bathrooms
A lively bathroom for adults can be accomplished with walls full of news. You can order copies of the front page of newspapers for days that were important in history. There are web sites that offer this service. Frame them and hang them for decor and amusement. Purchase the front page from the days that you and your family members were born. Decorate this bathroom in black and white, in keeping with a newspaper theme.
Create a stormy bathroom with a mural painting of a beach scene with a threatening sky and gray, choppy water with white caps on the waves. Curtains can be a wedge wood blue, plain and unassuming, so as to not take away from the painting. Have nautical or sea accessories, such as seashells, scattered about. Driftwood can frame the mirror. Use thick rope as molding separating the wall from the ceiling. You can have a mural painted in your bathroom depicting the fury of any one of Nother Nature's events: a tornado in a open field, a raging river or a bolt of lightning over the prairie.
If painting a mural is not something in your skill repertoire, try calling a local college art department and inquire about hiring an art student, but ask for a small painting of your idea first.
You can make the bathroom look like a library; after all, it is one of people's favorite reading spots. Paint a mural or hang wallpaper depicting shelves of books. Accent this look with tangible reading material handy in magazine racks. You can go with the antique look and have the old candle holders with candles placed throughout the bathroom.
