The bathroom, although usually overlooked, plays a huge role in establishing the aesthetic of your household. While many people may just look at the bathroom as a room used to bathe or just another utility room, we believe that your bathroom should be a space that you enjoy being in as well. Considering the amount of time you actually spend on it, the design and aesthetic of your bathroom have to be something that you adore.

That’s not all. Having someone say, “wow, your bathroom is amazing!” is a rare but extremely endearing compliment to receive. Your bathroom can also be another space that you use to express your personality and creativity. A beautiful space is said to help liven your mood and therefore, there is no space to slack when it comes to the decor of your bathroom.

Here are a few tips on how to make your bathroom just as outstanding as the rest of your apartment. Before you start running off to check out victoria plum, do note that there are many different sizes of bathrooms, and how you design them depends on their shape and size. Let’s first look at smaller bathrooms.

Small Bathrooms

If you have a small bathroom, it is important to decorate it in a way that will make it look spacious. What’s more, the small bathroom still needs to be able to accommodate all the important things you need -– therefore, a very good layout is required. There are multiple ways to streamline your bathroom without giving up space for its function.

Glass or Glossy Shower Screens

One way would be to give up your dreams of having a bathtub and instead switch it out for a glass shower screen. This would help to create a more open space, making the room look bigger than it actually is.

Alternatively, it is good to opt for glossy surfaces as well. This is because it will help to reflect light, thus creating a perception of space. Colour for such small bathrooms should also be chosen in a way that helps to give the illusion of a wider space and not overwhelm the overall feel of the bathroom.

Colour

When looking to bring life into your bedroom, the colour chosen should be able to brighten and liven up the space. Such colours include fresh yellow, blue and green; these are subtle colours that give the space personality whilst brightening up the room.

It would also be a good idea to have the floor and ceilings coloured whilst the rest of the elements in your bathroom, such as the countertop and toilet, remain in white. Having coloured accessories allows the bathroom to have a bigger pop of colour as well. Neutral colours are also a good option, such as beige and white. Have small coloured elements such as soap bars and towels to give the space more life.

Paint

A monochromatic look would also be a good idea as it gives your bathroom a uniform look. As they say, minimalism is the new trend. For this, choose tray holders and soap bars that complement or are the same colour as your bathroom. This enhances the uniformness of your space making it look clean and presentable.

Natural Light

Other than colour, having natural light is a great help. Natural light helps to create an even greater illusion of space. You can use things such as clerestory windows to help bring in as much natural light into your bathroom.

If your small bathroom has high ceilings, it is a very good idea to place as many windows as you can. To make the most of the natural light coming in, have mirrored cabinet doors to further enhance the illusion and make the bathroom look even bigger than it actually is.

Mirrors

For bigger bathrooms, white is a great colour to choose from, regardless of whether or not there are windows. Similar to a small bathroom, adding mirrors is great to help make the space look even bigger than it is. There is no need to have the whole room painted white, what you can do is to accessorise your bathroom with white elements. Doing so will help to accentuate the openness and lightness of the room’s design.

Glass And Lucite

Glass and lucite are great options if your bathroom does not have windows to help light come in. polished metal, glass and mirrors help to add a little interest and feel to the bathroom. They do not need to absorb any light to do so. You could also choose to get a leggy open vanity. This vanity will help to elongate the sightlines of your bathroom to create an open feel. Also, layer your lighting, best is if you could have your lighting over the glass.

Bathroom Counters

Bathroom counters can be a bit tricky to decorate as you want them to look well organised, not cluttered while adhering to your overall aesthetic. One thing you could do would be to add a tray, which can help you to store all your small containers and accessories in one spot whilst creating a collected and purposeful look in your bathroom. There are also other options such as woven baskets or wooden trays that you can play around with to suit your theme.

Monochromatic

Greenery

Add some plants! Having a little greenery in your bathroom goes a long way. Not only does it give your bathroom some colour, but it also gives it life. If you are afraid that you might not be able to maintain these plants, you can also go for the little cute succulents that come in pretty little pots.

Conclusion

One of the greatest obstacles of redecorating a bathroom is to keep within your budget. Though people may assume that elegant and stylish bathrooms are pricy, it’s the small elements that make a difference. If you’re shopping on a budget, we strongly recommend purchasing at inexpensive stores.

Always remember to keep things simple. It’s all too easy to be caught up in the details and grandeur of it all. However, focusing on the first thing seen when entering your bathroom is important. This may be your bathroom vanity, mirrors, sink, greenery, etc. You need to capture their attention first, then draw them in.
