Sure, not everyone who comes over steps foot inside your bathroom, but it most definitely deserves to be just as lovely and stylish as the other rooms of your home, right? We spend so much time and energy designing our main living spaces that the loo often gets overlooked. Well, we think it's time to change that once and for all.
That said, determining just how to decorate a bathroom, particularly if it's extra small, can be a bit of a challenge. But if you're having trouble developing a color scheme, selecting hardware, or choosing a paint color, don't fret. The 10 spaces below will show you just what a fabulous, functional bathroom looks like and will provide you with tons of inspiration as you take the next steps in your own home.
01 Lean Some Art
Fun art isn't just for the living room. If you have a cool piece that needs a home, why not try it in the loo? And note that leaning art can look super chic—so don't sweat it if you have tile walls that aren't hammer-friendly.
02 Style With Scallops
Scalloped anything is a major winner in our book. How perfect is this scalloped vanity? Scalloped mirrors and linens would make for excellent accents here.
03 Bring in a Basket
Speaking of wicker, baskets make for great catchalls in the bathroom (we all have slightly overflowing makeup collections). Grab a few and use them to corral everything from your daily products to travel-sized goodies.
04 Try This Color Grouping
Pink, white, and gold = a flawless color grouping. We love the minimalist mirrors in this bathroom, too—their fun shape is the cherry on top of a stunning little setup.
05 Get Ziggy With It
A zig zag-esque pattern brings the fun in this sleek bathroom. Don't be afraid to engage in a little pattern play to spice things up!
06 Try Just a Bit of Wallpaper
Even if you're not ready to cover all four walls with a bright print, you can still have fun with wallpaper. Place it above a tile trim or wainscoting for a statement-making splash.
07 Lay Down a Vintage Rug
Vintage rugs always add so much character to a space and look lovely in the bathroom in lieu of your basic bathmat. Darker colors are an excellent choice as they'll hide stains and spills much easier. So what are you waiting for?
08 Switch Out Your Hardware
Swap out bland builder-grade hardware for drawer pulls that are more your aesthetic. You can never go wrong with little pops of gold! If you're a renter, just make sure to keep the original bathroom hardware in a safe place so that you can restore everything pre-moveout.
09 Include Some Plant Babies
If your ideal aesthetic is simple and natural, embrace neutrals in the bathroom and have fun with pops of greenery to add some life to the space. We love the idea of placing small plants on open shelving above the toilet.
10 Incorporate Rattan
Oh rattan, how we love you so. Small rattan hooks and shelving shine in this sunny bathroom. Little details like these make all the difference in helping a space feel more personal and curated. Plus, storage!
