Decorating A Large Open Bathroom

Enhance a large bathoom with a warm color scheme.


If you are decorating a large, open bathroom, create an intimate feel using personal items and rich tones. Transform the large room into a respite by filling it with your favorite colors, scents and wall decor. Make the most of the extra space by decorating with furniture items that are as decorative as they are useful. Use your cherished vintage pieces and antiques to create a customized bathroom look for less.


Instructions


1. Paint the bathroom walls a rich, warm shade to infuse the large space with a cozy feel. Pick a color such as golden yellow, mauve, candy apple red, burnt orange or chocolate brown, depending on the bathroom's decor theme. Lighten up the look by hanging a light-hued patterned wallpaper border directly under the ceiling.


2. Create a cohesive look with matching textiles. Bring a large bathroom's look together with all cream-colored towels, rugs and bath mats. Accent the neutral-hued towels with patterned versions. For instance, place an orange, yellow and red embroidered wash cloth over a hanging bath towel, and set a matching finger-tip towel by the sink.


3. Create a personal style and add warmth to the bathroom by hanging large framed art work or photographs. Hang a vintage black and white image in a burnished gold frame for an opulent look. Display a hand-painted landscape mural in a natural wood frame for an artistic style.


4. Take advantage of the large room by adding storage space. Buy an antique wood armoire featuring intricate carving details and glass panels. Choose a brown rattan cabinet to create an exotic, tropical feel. Fill the storage spaces with extra towels, robes, slippers, candles or toiletries.


5. Enhance the large bathroom with a vanity table. Choose a white wicker table for an island-inspired style, or a vintage wooden version for a romantic bathroom look. Decorate the vanity table with vases of fresh flowers, candles, an antique hand-held mirror, vintage cut-glass perfume bottles or framed photographs.
