Bathroom Decorating

Choosing the decor for your bathroom will depend on it's purpose. Is it a master bathroom, a childrens bathroom, or a guest bathroom? Maybe just a main bathroom in the house that everyone uses? Whatever it's purpose, there are many ideas to decorating your bathroom that can add style, function, and storage.

For a bathroom that is you own personal bathroom, such as a master bath, you might consider creating a relaxing atmosphere. Try using relaxing colors such as neutral tones, soft shades of purple or blue, or even rich shades of red and brown. Most people prefer to use colors that coordinate with the color scheme of thier bedroom if it is a master bath.

Next, add items that will help relax, whether you are getting ready for your day, or relaxing in a nice hot bath at the end of day. Try having a radio/CD player to listen to music to get going or unwind before going to bed. Candles are also nice if you want to have the soft light and pleasant scents while are relaxing in the tub. Also, try using baskets or glass jars to place on the sink or on the shelf, to neatly store items which are used often. Make-up, cotton balls, and wash cloths, should be stored neatly with easy access. Having these items clutter bathroom will not make space a relaxing one.

If you are decorating a bathroom for children, you will want brighter colors. If it is a uni-sex bathroom, I prefer soft green colors to coordinate with both pinks and blues. There are so many themes to choose from, especially animal themes. Rubber ducks, garden animals, jungle animals, sea animals, or even bugs are very popular bathroom themes for children. Most have matching towels, rugs, shower curtains, and soap dishes.
