Tips to Add Style to Your Bathroom
Transforming a bathroom into a space you’ll love is not an easy task. On top of that, many homeowners believe that bathroom makeovers will empty their pockets. So, if you’re convinced that you can’t transform your bathroom into a warm and cosy space if you’re on a budget, take a look at these decoration ideas that will inspire you to take action and add style to your bathroom.
Tell your story with colour
White, sterile bathrooms remind everyone of the hospitals. Although there’s nothing wrong with opting for plain white shades, you might want to add a splash of colour to break that monotony. Still, if you’ve always been afraid to experiment with colour, here are some colour combinations for your next bathroom remodel.
One of the most stylish colour combinations is light blue and dirty yellow. These hues will bring more life into this room and make it look more spacious. Still, be sure to incorporate some lighter shades as well, such as white or ivory. If you want a luxurious bathroom, opt for a dark green and red colour palette, and if you’re a fan of minimalism, it’s advisable to stick to basic, black and white colour combos.
Add mirrors
Believe it or not, you can use mirrors to create an illusion of a bigger space. So, if you only have one mirror in the bathroom, it would be best to consider some upgrades. For example, installing parallel mirrors above the bathroom sink is a great way to enlarge the space and enhance your design. What’s more, you can opt for a variety of shapes and sizes and complete the look with elegant mirror frames.
Incorporate some old-school details
A bathroom decorated with antique details is now trending more than ever. Vintage furniture is making a comeback, which is ideal for those who prefer to thrift their furniture. A vintage vanity or a shelf will enhance your bathroom design and help you create new and unique focal points in this area of your house.
But, you don’t have to purchase any vintage furniture to embrace this trend. Instead, you can opt for muted colours or install patterned porcelain tile to achieve the same effect.
Repaint the bathroom walls
Those who love their current bathroom design but still feel like something is missing should invest in simple DIY bathroom makeovers. As mentioned earlier, find a colour combination that suits you most and put out the paintbrush to achieve the perfect modern bathroom look. Next, repaint the bathroom walls and be sure to use anti-mould paint to keep the fungi at bay.
Upgrade bathroom vanity light fixtures
General lighting is not the best lighting option for bathrooms. Instead, you can install a new lighting system and use different fixtures to focus on ambience and set the mood. For example, dimmable vanity lights combined with a new lighting installation above the mirrors is all you need to add more style to your bathroom, even if you’re on a budget. What’s more, you can experiment with beautiful lighting pieces such as exposed pendant light bulbs that will definitely impress all your guests.
Consider investing in silver and gold accents
Gold and silver are in, and you can use this to your advantage. Incorporate beautiful decorative elements into your bathroom design, such as golden cabinet pulls or a faucet. If you prefer a minimalist design, these elements will help you create subtle changes. But, if you really want to make a statement, opt for a golden mirror frame and use it to create a mesmerising focal point in your bathroom.
Floral prints
Floral prints are all you need to spruce up your bathroom on a budget. On top of that, floral wallpaper is removable, meaning you can switch things up and invest in a new design whenever you’d like. However, you don’t have to apply decals or wallpaper on the walls to make a noticeable change. But, of course, you can hang some nature-inspired paintings or embroidery on your bathroom walls to truly make a difference.
Add natural elements
When choosing how to style your bathroom, it would be best to opt for furniture that incorporates natural textures or fibres into your design. This idea might sound intimidating at first, but once you start working on your project, you’ll notice how natural elements such as wood or stone can improve the overall look of your bathroom. So, opt for stone tiles or install a DIY wood accent wall. What’s more, you can also enlarge your window to let the natural light in and improve ventilation in your bathroom.
Don’t forget about bathroom accessories
New bathroom accessories have the power to completely transform your space and make it look more fancy and stylish. Luxurious soap dispensers, shower curtains, toilet paper holders, and even trash cans will leave a tempting impression on guests and make your bathroom as practical as possible. What’s more, it’s the little details that count, so be sure to carefully choose which bathroom accessories you want to use to decorate your bathroom.
Maximise your storage space
When bringing more style into your bathroom, it’s essential to keep the storage in mind. You don’t want to end up having to keep your towels in the laundry room or put too many products on the decorative bathroom shelves. So, if you’re searching for new furniture, make sure it’s both practical and stylish. You can also install more shelves and hidden storage that will help you combat clutter in the bathroom.
Conclusion
Bathrooms can easily get messy, so if you’re investing in new decoration, be sure that you can easily clean this area after you incorporate new stylish pieces. As long as your bathroom looks neat and welcoming, you won’t have to worry too much about the decoration. But, if you’re someone who loves to pay attention to details, be sure to give these options a try, and you’ll end up with a modern and cosy bathroom all your family members will love.
