A simple bathroom vanity arrangement creates a zen-like look.
Bathrooms may be busy places, but they deserve the same design and decor attention as the rest of the house. A well decorated bathroom will fit nicely into the decor in the rest of the house. Use the same aesthetic, color palette, accent colors, metals and wood finishes to warm up the bathroom and make it feel modern and well planned. The actual objects you use for decoration should be bathroom related, but you may be surprised by the wide choice now available.
Simple
A simple arrangement is a good choice for a smaller vanity.
For vanity countertops that are small, keep the decor items simple and useful. Position a vase of real or made-to-look-real flowers in a vase with water. Faux flowers are now available that look real and the water looks real. On the opposite side of the vanity, place a hand soap dispenser in a container that matches the color and decor of the room. Fold or roll three washcloths, and place them next to the soap, which invites people to use both.
Spa Style
Create a spa style vanity by using a tray to hold spa items.
Spa style is easy to create. Look for a tray that is made of natural materials. Position cleansers, lotions and soaps in attractive jars on the tray. Find a wow factor item, such as a long planter of rye grass either real or fake to position on a shelf under the mirror. All kinds of grouped greenery can look sophisticated and natural and will work equally well. The items that create this style are organic, green, natural and textural.
Welcome Guests
Personalize a vanity for a visiting guest.
Use a tray filled with small bottles of soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, sunblock and other liquids. Place a folded invitation card on the tray that invites guests to use and keep the items on the tray. Roll three hand towels next to the sink, and fold a washcloth partially over the lip of the sink. Add a large flower arrangement using the varieties of flowers that your visiting guest really loves. The personal touches will make the visit memorable and a joy for your guest.
Lavish
Use a large sculpture to anchor a large vanity.
Large master bedrooms are often opulent. Bring gold statuary to the center of the vanity, along with art objects from foreign travels. Focus the vanity display on function and style. Place a decorative bowl with unusual cube-shaped soaps. Position textural hand towels and washcloths by each basin. Use taller bottles and dispensers for lotions, soaps and other liquids. Use a plant that trails to add lushness.
