When it comes to decorating bathrooms one of the most important concepts to always follow is ‘keep it simple’. The bathroom is one of the most frequently used rooms inside a house- being designed for very specific functions and should not only reflect but inspire an uplifting, positive feel to those who use it.
The primary concern when designing the look and feel of a bathroom is choice of hardware. These include essential items like faucets, spigots, tubs and toilets which can be created in a variety of materials and shapes to give the bathroom a distinct flair. Other things to consider are the type and size of your shower- open showers are more popular with the younger crowd yet if you have multiple bathroom users a glass screen may be a more appropriate option. The most current trend in the shower screen industry at the present is frameless screens giving a chic, modern look to the bathroom. For those who enjoy relaxing in a bath, claw-foot bathtubs are always considered to be elegant and classic.
It is also possible to theme your bathroom around a particular decor style. When choosing a decor pattern, for example contemporary, Tuscan, cottage etc be sure to remember less is more. Ensure when choosing a theme it coordinates with the rest of your home- if the style of your home is contemporary then a cottage themed bathroom would look out of place. A simple theme such as a colour or pattern may be enough to add that extra level of style to the design.
Be sure to take enough time to shop around when it comes to choosing a bathroom’s tiling. Hardware, decoration and craft stores are a great place to start. It can often be necessary to pay the extra money for more expensive tiles as they need to be non-porous, able to be cleaned easily and simple to install. Don’t forget to be creative- just because you’ve chosen a theme doesn’t mean you can’t add variations. For example, a white theme could be perfectly complemented with white pebbles as well as white tiles.
Once the basics have been finalised and your bathroom is not only looking space conscious-but exceptionally striking, add some decoration accessories to bring out your homes individuality and personality. If you’ve got children, spice it up with some utensils from their favourite cartoon characters or place some photos on the walls. However, remember the important rule: keep it simple.
When choosing blinds for a bathroom a few things need to be taken into consideration; natural light needs to filter they need to give privacy and should match your bathroom’s decor. Venetian blinds or shutter blinds are always a great option for bathrooms as they allow you to choose how much light enters the room by simply pulling a cord. With a range of colours and materials available for these styles it is easy to match them with your bathroom’s decor.
With these tips in mind decorating your bathrooms will be an easy and rewarding experience.
