This is a collaborative post: The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the home, but often, it can be overlooked when it comes to interior design. If your bathroom is dated, or it’s more bland than beautiful, here are some simple ways to upgrade your decor and create a stunning new space.
Colour scheme
Changing the colour scheme is one of the best ways to transform the aesthetic and feel of any room. With bathrooms, there are all kinds of options and you can choose tones and shades based on the themes and trends you love, the size of the room and the vibe you want to create. From ultra-modern crisp white bathrooms to Art Deco rooms with feature walls in striking tones of green and blue with gold detailing, there’s something for everyone. When planning your bathroom design, explore different trends, take inspiration from hotels, restaurants or homes you’ve visited and think about how you want to feel when you spend time in your bathroom. Neutral tones, pastels and shades of blue, green and purple have a calming effect while colours like yellow, pink and orange are uplifting and energising. If you love the idea of introducing colour, but you don’t want to paint all the walls, you could use wallpaper to create a feature wall or use accessories or coloured or patterned tiles to introduce a new colour theme.
Soft furnishings
Soft furnishings add cosiness and texture, but they also enable you to channel new trends and add unique details without blowing the budget. Replacing tired, dull bath mats and towels that have seen better days, hanging new curtains or blinds and adding rugs and cushions is an easy, affordable way to freshen up your bathroom and add serious style. Choose soft furnishings that complement the theme of the room and mix and match fabrics. You can buy everything from high-pile, luxurious black bath mats for a chic, contemporary boutique-hotel aesthetic and playful zebra patterned hand towels for a quirky safari vibe to jute rugs for natural trends that bring the outside in. When you’re shopping for soft furnishings and towels for your bathroom, it’s a great idea to think about storage. You can use rails, open shelving, ladders or simple hooks to keep your bathroom clutter-free.
Statement pieces
Are you looking to create a stylish, unique bathroom without undertaking a mammoth interior design operation? If so, investing in a statement piece is a fantastic idea. Replacing a drab, old bathtub, adding a fabulous new shower unit, wallpapering one wall or hanging an eye-catching oversized mirror could make all the difference. Shop around, create virtual plans, get inspiration from magazines and social media feeds and take your time to find the perfect addition to your new bathroom.
