Accessorizing the Bathroom: The Golden Rules

We know you are sick of the same old look in your bathroom. Well, why not switch things up?

The latest trends in decoration bring innovative details to the bathroom, violate established rules, and create spaces that amaze.

When designing a bathroom, it is important to consider the style that will best suit your needs. There are four basic styles you can choose from: classy, muted, bright, and fun. Let’s get into more details below.

Getting started

When you are designing a bathroom, there are many factors that need to be taken into account. First and foremost is the general style of your home or apartment. What does it look like? First, do some research before starting anything major.

If your home is filled with items that have a classic country sort of feel, having an ocean theme in the bathroom may seem out-of-place.

Next, there is the concept of a bathroom feel you want to create. If you want your kids’ bathroom to be fun and cheery, go with a cartoon theme. For those who are looking for a relaxing atmosphere, the bathroom should be designed like a place for retreat and relaxation. 

The choice of shades and their undertones becomes a real challenge, regardless of the space you are arranging. The color palette used in a bathroom can affect your mood greatly. A brighter space will make you feel more energetic. Darker shades might result in feelings of calmness and serenity.

When decorating a bathroom, it is crucial to keep in mind its practical purpose and design its interior so that it is functional, efficient, and soothing. It is important that the color you choose enhances this effect. Intense or unexpected colors often disturb the calm and relaxing atmosphere.

A classy bathroom design

Classy bath accessories in muted colors are perfect for a classy bathroom. You can select accessories in floral tones or other subtle design elements like flowers. 

Fans of a classic look can bring color to their bathroom with details like faucets and shower heads, made of attractive metals like brass or copper. It is definitely worth sticking to the philosophy “less is more” for this design.

If you want to give your bathroom a more luxurious feel, consider adding toilet seat covers and towels as well. They will match beautifully with the shower curtain if they have the same color. For example, pick a shower curtain with a neutral color like beige with rose colored embellishment. Then match the other bath accessories to the rose shade.

A muted color palette in your bathroom

To create a muted look in your bathroom, you are likely to go with soft tones. Instead of a floral bath time accessory, choose more modern options, like those at spa retreats. Muted shades of green and blue make for a great base color in your bathroom. These natural hues remind us to slow down and relax. 

A unique shower curtain will make your bath stand out even more. Consider a solid colored shower curtain or patchwork with squares of complementary colors. Matching bath accessories will make your bathroom look like it was styled by an expert. Select matching rugs and toilet seats to create the perfect finishing touch.

Bright colors in your bathroom

Before you embark on remodeling, decide first where it is important for you to use more intense color and how you can do it. Will you pick a bright-colored faucet, colorful marble for the wall surface or tiles with an expressive pattern?

The floor is a good place where you can use an interesting shade because it usually covers a smaller area. Another great suggestion is to paint the ceiling because it won’t be as distracting as it is above eye level.

Tiles are the most logical choice with which you can bring a little color to the bathroom. Keep in mind the rest of your interior, and make sure that all the rooms have common colors. 

Although colors bring warmth to a space, too many shades could disturb the relaxing atmosphere in your bathroom. Proponents of simple white tiles have an advantage here, because white and similar neutral colors create an impression of purity and elegance.

Fun bathroom designs

The bathroom can be a fun place to relax and have some laughs. There are so many items that you could add for personality, from faucets with colors to animal designs. A great way of making the space more kid-friendly is by adding playful accessories like colorful toothbrushes and towels.

Why not go all out and use an aquarium theme in the bathroom? Lots of bright colors and items that reflect this fun style. Bright shower curtains, towels with wave-like design, a fish shaped bath mat or even a toilet seat with a fun tropical design.

The character Betty Boop is still popular among children and can be used as an interesting theme for bathrooms. A Betty Boop set of shower curtains and bath accessories can be used with red or black towels.

Conclusion: There is no one size fits all

Whatever your interests are, it is going to be the foundation for decorating your bathroom. There is no one size fits all when it comes to design. Whether you want to go with flowers or basic colors, your bathroom is only as good-looking as its details. Small things can make all the difference in how well-designed your bathroom looks. Luckily, it’s easy to find bath accessories that will allow you to bring your perfect bathroom look together.
