The one part of the home most people tend to ignore is the humble bathroom. Always viewed as an area of utility and practicality rather than a place to show off your decor chops, the bathroom does end up with a raw deal.
But that doesn't mean that you can't jazz it up in your own style. This blog post shows you some easy and quirky ways to add a stylish aesthetic element to the one place in your home that helps you relax.
Here's the easiest way to add interest to your bathrooms - decorate the walls. Begin by painting the walls a bright colour, then add framed paintings, mirrors and other objects d'art to create an enviable space.
Headed to the beach? Then don't forget to pick up shells, decorative corals and star fish! These beachy elements add a soothing and refreshing vibe to your bathroom. Also, every time you look at them, you'll be transported back to happier times spent vacationing on the beach. Collect and add these seaside souvenirs to large glass jars and display by the sink. The more variety, the better!
Outgrown your old cycle? Then why not add it to your bathroom for a touch of quirk!
Or dig out some old hand mirrors and replace your large mirror with those for a different look. Visit flea markets to get hold of different shaped mirrors to decorate your bathroom with. Or get an ornate mirror highlighted with show-stealing lamps and a vase of flowers like the one below.
Fresh cut flowers, gorgeous linen and towels, glass bottles of different shapes and sizes, cane baskets and cake stands that double as toiletry holders are just some of the ways you can add beauty to your bathroom. Always be on the look out for small, preferably waterproof things that add personality. Try to stick to a colour scheme or a theme and you're sorted!
