Nuances
When choosing decorations for your bathroom, you need to take into account the functional features of this room:
- increased humidity levels;
- temperature changes;
- the possibility of hot soapy water and household chemicals getting on the surfaces of interior elements.
In addition, all surfaces in the bathroom must be disinfected regularly. And one more nuance – functionality. For real Beautiful design– a combination of attractive appearance and ease of use.
Functionality
The clothes drying coil, handrails, and faucets can have a sparkling nickel-plated or gold surface. Use a brush to paint them in any color or give them the appearance of wooden products.
Bathroom curtain – waterproof fabric, plastic, glass. It is more convenient if it is movable, allowing free access to any part of the bowl. But a stationary screen will provide reliable protection from water flows from nearby furniture and washing machines.
Note! It is impossible to imagine a bathroom without a mirror. A mirror surface will only expand the space if it reflects a clean wall. The reflection of many small details will visually clutter the room. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to the minimum number and size of mirrors.
Furniture – shelves, cabinets. They should not look like a cosmetic store display. It is not necessary to advertise the type of intimate hygiene product you use, even if it is an expensive product from a well-known brand.

- Wooden handrails, a bath broom, finishing the contour of the mirror surface and furniture with strips of burlap - “bathhouse”.
- Applications of “bananas”, berries, a rug in the shape of an apple – fruit heaven.
The options are endless.
Preparation
To start decorating the bath, you should first do general cleaning. Wash all surfaces thoroughly. Carry out sanitation, tidy up all the corners and seams between the tiles. It is better to paint a picture or an ornament on a worn tile than to decorate each tile with appliqué.
An old cast iron or steel bowl, with damaged enamel can also be quickly restored with minimal costs. Materials:
- detergents;
- 2 – 3 cans of automotive paint.
The container is washed and painted car paint. Before painting, you need to disconnect the tub from the drain so that the paint lies evenly in the area drain holes. When painting, you should follow the instructions on the can as closely as possible. It is unlikely that you will be able to heat the bathtub before painting, but you can increase the temperature in the room using a conventional heater.
After the paint has completely dried, reattach the bathtub to the drain. These items may need to be replaced. No need to varnish. The surface will be flat, smooth, but not at all slippery.

When Finishing work completed, and the plumbing has taken its place, all that remains is to add a few touches to the renovation that would bring comfort and a special zest to the bathroom interior. Of course, you can turn to designers and spend a tidy sum on it, but it is much better to decorate the bath yourself using simple methods and improvised means.
You can decorate the walls in the bathroom using special stickers or stencils. They are very easy to work with, and the variety of shapes, patterns and colors allows you to turn any creative idea into reality. They are made of moisture-resistant material, so despite high humidity in the bath, will last for many years.
You can decorate your bathroom with decorative fish stickers on the walls of the room.
The stickers are sold complete with a special smoothing tool and detailed instructions for use, so even a child can handle them. You can choose stickers with a marine theme in the form of fish, shells or beautiful dolphins, and with their help you can easily create entire pictures.
You can also update your interior using homemade or purchased stencils. They are made from flexible plastic film, so they are great for drawing even small images. Another advantage of stencils is their durability, that is, they do not deteriorate after use and can be used as many times as needed. To create the desired design, simply place the stencil on the wall and use a sponge or brush dipped in paint to create the design.
Stars on the walls of the bathroom can be made using stencils Tile mosaic
An original, but at the same time practical way to decorate a bathtub is to create a tiled mosaic. Surely, after renovation, everyone has a few tiles left over, which most often are simply thrown away, but at this time you can use them to make an unusual decoration.
You can make a mosaic as follows:
- Using a pencil, mark on each tile the shapes from which you will create a drawing.
- Cut out the intended patterns with a glass cutter.
- We glue the mosaic pieces onto a strong sheet of paper, and cover the tiles with tape on top.
- We turn the mosaic over and tear off the paper from it, and then apply it to the wall, which is pre-treated with an adhesive solution.
- We remove the tape and remove excess glue, and after it dries, we rub the seams of the mosaic.
You can make your bathroom unique with an inscription made from a regular mosaic. Decor using decoupage technique
The decoupage technique is very original and is suitable for decorating any interior, including the bathroom. It is based on the creation of figures from various types paper. They can be used to decorate furniture, mirrors, plumbing fixtures and even textiles.
For decoupage you will need special three-layer napkins, glue and acrylic varnish. First you need to cut out the desired pattern from the napkins. Then you should remove the bottom two layers of the napkin and apply the remaining part to the surface to be decorated, carefully smoothing it to release air bubbles. We apply glue with a brush to our drawing and wait until it dries completely. Finally, you need to cover the pattern with acrylic varnish and you can enjoy the resulting decoration.
Beautiful pattern on the walls and ceiling of the bathroom Decor using seashells
Seashells brought from the sea or from a trip abroad will be a wonderful decoration for the bathroom. However, if you don’t want to spoil real sea specimens, you can make shells with your own hands using plaster, plastic mass and acrylic paints.
First, you should purchase a white plastic mass, which will become the basis for future shells, as well as a gypsum solution. Using the latter we will make forms for decoration. Select several seashells that you like best in shape and place them in liquid plaster, pre-lubricating them with cream so as not to damage the surface. After the plaster has hardened, remove the resulting blanks and let them dry for one day.
You can decorate your bathroom by making pictures from seashells To make the surface of the plaster mold smoother and more suitable for work, it should be impregnated with varnish. Now we will use a plastic mass, which we separate in small portions and knead with our fingers, after wetting them in cold water. When the mass becomes soft and pliable, it must be placed in a plaster blank and left for a few minutes. We remove the finished shells from the molds and leave them to completely harden for one day.
We glue the prepared shells onto the prepared surface and decorate with paints and a brush. Here everything depends only on imagination and personal preferences. We cover the decorated shells with acrylic varnish so that they are not susceptible to temperature changes and moisture, and therefore do not deteriorate over time.
Bathroom decor with seashells Decorating your bath with accessories
In addition to their immediate purpose, ordinary bathroom interior items can also serve interesting decor. It is enough to choose a single style and select accessories in accordance with it in the form of soap containers, towel holders, shower curtains, etc.
Bathroom accessories Choose ordinary household items made in original design solution. For example, hang a large mirror unusual shape, which will immediately become the accent of the room, you can also add creative decor to it and make a unique piece of furniture. Bath rugs and textiles should also correspond to the general style and stand out in color or texture. Add to everything a couple of small monochromatic figurines or flower pots and the interior will sparkle with completely new colors.

Bathroom decoration is one of the most important stages its configuration after major repairs. Therefore, using your own imagination and the most original techniques modern designers, you can decorate your bathroom by changing it beyond recognition.
Decorating the bathroom is the most enjoyable stage of bathroom design and renovation, because you can make any of your dreams come true and every exclusive solution. Have you long dreamed of a unique bathroom or wanted to fill it with classic elements? Then it’s time to get started, and if it’s difficult for you to do it yourself, we will definitely help you.
To change the appearance of the bathroom, you can choose a variety of matching elements, or place even slightly inappropriate objects and decorations in the room to add exclusivity, surprise and even shock. But it’s worth starting with the simplest – household items that are always in the bathroom, because they can be unique and very pretty, bring harmony to the bathroom and add a certain charm to its contents.
We will look at all the bathroom decorations we know now, and also recommend how to properly decorate a bathroom or what can be placed on its walls, floor and ceiling to completely change the interior space.
Any bathroom decoration mentioned in our article is only an example that we are describing. Naturally, it will definitely be suitable for a bathroom in a certain style, but not necessarily for yours. Therefore, in order not to waste money on accessories and decor that do not fit into the interior of the bathroom, carefully study the decorative elements before making a purchase, make correct conclusions and buy only those products that will really help you decorate your bathroom with high quality.
Decorating the bathroom with shelves
For many people, shelves in the bathroom are... simple elements furniture, but not decoration. There are powders on the shelves, washcloths, and often they are simply filled with rubbish that is not needed at hand at the moment. But shelves in the bathroom can also serve a completely different role. We recently talked about what bathroom shelves can be like and how noticeably they change general interior and filling, but they can do much more - the initial decor is within their power empty walls and high-quality equipment for a bathroom of any size.
Wooden shelves for the bathroom, metal and glass, shelves made of stone and ceramics - all of them can become amazing decor, you just have to choose the shelves to match the style and try to fit them harmoniously into the overall design. Naturally, the shelves themselves will not change the appearance much. internal space bathroom, but the items installed on them are easy. On shelves made of expensive wood, combined shelves made of glass and metal, as well as shelves made of other materials, you can always place vases and special vessels for flowers, creams, lotions. Also, you can install on similar shelves original look containers with sea salt, fragrances, bath foam. Other bathroom decor items can be placed on their surface, but it all depends on the style, general content and your preferences.
Few of us understand painting and painting styles, but we don’t need to go back to the Renaissance or look for works of the Renaissance, because such works will be of no use in the bathroom. We just need beautiful pictures in style, in original frame, with a positive image.
This may well be a classic marine theme for baths, or views of nature that we like, paintings above the sink or near the changing screen can even depict still lifes, and paintings in modern baths be just as minimalist, with elements, for example, of cubism.
But, unfortunately, such decorations are not possible in every bathroom, since paintings in a small bathroom can only be small, and not as additional decor, but as an accent of the comfort of the room, therefore, it’s worth thinking about.
Bath mats
Some time ago we worked very hard on an article about bathroom rugs, and we hope that you found it useful. But today we want to talk about bath mats not from the point of practicality, but from the side of their originality and ability to decorate and decorate the room.
Rubber, furry, natural, plastic, fabric, acrylic, wood, knitted - any of them can easily become a bathroom decoration if you choose the color, shape and size perfectly. Don't rush, be sure to consider the benefits and General characteristics similar accessories, but then, based on decorative requirements, carefully study the external data. Perhaps you will need several identical rugs, or a chaotic set different sizes and shade to complete the decoration of the bathroom and put an end to the configuration and arrangement.
Decorating the bathroom during renovation
We are a little inconsistent and do not adhere to the algorithm for arranging our jewelry in a temporary order, but this is only for the reason that we try to convey every new thought to you as quickly as possible. So, next we talk about how to decorate a bathroom during the renovation stages.
Say what you can choose beautiful tiles or a bright ceiling is an understatement, so let’s not even mention the obvious. We are talking about photo tiles and 3D tiles, about which there was also detailed material on the site. These elements can not only decorate the bathroom, but also completely change it from the inside. Now, even if you really want to sleep in the morning, some invisible thread will pull you into the shower, and in the evening you yourself will be happy to take a bath in a graceful, elegant and very unusual room.
There is no point in talking about style and choice today, since we will simply retell the content of our previous articles, but we can remind you that these elements must be treated very seriously. Choose only quality material, which is worthy of your attention, and also, only those elements that really touched you.
A panel in the bathroom is an original decoration of the room
We also talked about the panel in the bathroom, but we definitely decided to remind you of such original decor bathroom. By the way, it is one of the few decorations that fits flat on the wall, which means it can be placed in a bathroom of any size. If you decorate the panel in the bathroom correctly, it can even visually enlarge a small space.
You can create a 3D bathroom panel, combine it with the appropriate plumbing fixtures, and thereby further increase the effect of uniqueness and complete exclusivity. Choose such decor carefully, the correct shade, shape and color, so as not to spoil the room, but to complement it qualitatively.
Curtains, towels, tablecloths in the bathroom
If the size and chosen style of the bathroom allows you to diversify the interior with similar decor, be sure to use it indoors. Curtains in the bathroom, tablecloths, beautiful towels, napkins and other fabric elements always regulate the level of comfort in the room and, if you want to create a truly warm environment and get away as much as possible from modernity, with its minimalist trends, these bathroom accessories are exactly what You need.
Curtains on the window or its imitation will decorate the walls, tablecloths will place unique accents on the cosmetic table, light frills or napkins will uniquely decorate small shelves in the bathroom, making them very cute. Naturally, such elements do not add much practicality to the room, but they easily regulate its beauty.
Inlay, patterns, forging
Such elements cannot be placed in every bathroom, but if you create a classic, returning in style to medieval times, for example, arranging a bathroom in a country estate or country house, it is very possible. Just imagine a quiet evening in a warm bathroom, under the languid lighting of candles in a special wrought-iron candlestick or chandelier, towels and bathrobes on a wrought-iron hanger in the corner of the bathroom, furniture made of old, but good-quality wood, from which carved original patterns... it seems to us that such a style is characteristic only of special people who understand rarities and sometimes try to bring the distant past back to reality.
In modern bathrooms, such decorations are unlikely to become relevant, and therefore we will not particularly focus on them.
Lighting, illumination, versatile illumination
Bathroom lighting is very important role, both in the point supply of light and in the zonal illumination of certain parts of the bathroom. This topic was raised by us and supplemented several times, but we decided to put another exclamation point next to its meaning, and again we affirm that high-quality and professional bathroom lighting is one of its best decorations.
Decorating a bathroom with your own hands using lighting is very difficult, and therefore we recommend turning to professional electricians and decorators to create, for example, unique zone lighting, run a light strip around the perimeter of the bathroom, make original illumination on the walls, highlight shelves, sink or even streams of water from faucets and shower heads. Believe me, it can be so beautiful and amazing that, at a certain moment, it will seem like a miracle.
Original decorations and objects in the bathroom
In this section of our article, we decided to collect to the maximum all the decorations for the bathroom that still come to our mind. Naturally, describe each in great detail separate element We won’t be able to, but it’s simply necessary to mention them:
- Seashells and shells– ideal decoration for the bathroom nautical style. With their help, any wall, shelf, or even a frame for any image can be decorated. Also, large and massive sinks will look ideal on the floor, near the bathtub itself;
- Pebbles, wooden elements . Small accessories for stylized baths, for example, in oriental style or in the baths of housewives who really love wildlife. Decorating vases, small flower beds or even foot mats in the bathroom using these elements will be very original;
- Vases, glasses, porcelain decor. All this is another answer to the question of how to decorate a bathroom. Indeed, any such element, in itself, means nothing, but a “company” of glasses for toothbrushes, vases for plants in the bathroom or porcelain figurines on a shelf is already a whole ensemble that will complement the interior in an incredibly original way;
- SPA decorations for the bathroom. A type of decor that is not only beautiful, but also very useful in caring for your own body. SPA jewelry is mainly used by those girls and women who do not forget about the youth of their skin and constantly try to provide it with the best condition. And, to help this process - special stones and candles, creams and oils, foam and bath bombs, fragrances and softeners, which, by the way, simultaneously become wonderful decor bathroom.
Anyone can decorate a bathroom with their own hands or with the help of interior design and decoration specialists, regardless of the size of the bathroom, the cost of repairs and the direction of style. The main thing in this matter is not to chaotically scribble around the bathroom everything that you liked at the market or in a specialty store, but to put your soul into this matter, and at least a little understanding of the topic.

The basket is woven using a braid made from two tubes. Towards the end, a third is introduced. First, the bottom is created by gluing together several pieces of cardboard. Place the ends of the tubes inside. For braiding, use the sides of the box, securing the braids with clothespins. Having reached the desired height, create a beveled side. Find the center of the product and the central tube located vertically. It remains in its original position, and the adjacent one bends around. Twist and start weaving in a different direction.
After reaching the required height, the third braid is inserted. It is attached to a vertical tube. The work is completed by weaving in three parts. The tubes are cut and coated with glue. The basket is covered with a solution of water mixed with PVA in equal proportions. When everything is dry, acrylic paint is applied.

Bathroom color scheme
For small space Do not use dark colors. It is recommended to introduce light shades. If the dimensions of the bathtub are impressive, you can choose almost any color. All items must be in the same color scheme and match the same style. Your own perception of the palette matters. It is important to consider lighting. If there is little of it, any dark tones are excluded. Traditionally, white, blue, green and other marine colors are popular in the bathroom.
It is impossible to imagine comfort in an apartment without a cozy bathroom. The development of a room design and its implementation can be considered the most labor-intensive renovation task. This is due to the fact that the room is often characterized by modest dimensions. Therefore, the decor of the bathroom should be extremely functional and harmonious. In order to make the task easier for owners, we will next present some useful recommendations.
Creation principles
It is important to present in advance future view desired bathroom. This will allow you to create something interesting even in limited conditions. At the same time, it is not necessary to focus only on purchased items. It is quite possible to create some decorative elements with your own hands. Before you go to a designer store, you should test yourself for hidden talents. Then you should pay attention to several fundamental principles creating decor:
- Functionality. Since the square footage of the room rarely allows you to accelerate, it is better to abandon bulky and impractical things in advance;
- Stylistics. It is advisable to combine it with the interior of the apartment;
- Safety. This principle should be the default. Especially if there are children in the family.
By following these simple postulates, you can achieve tangible results. Let's start our tour of organizing bathroom decor with the design of sinks.
Sink design
Installing an original sink can radically change the interior. Together with a non-standard model of sanitary ware, the decor in the bathroom becomes a real highlight in the style of the apartment. Fortunately, the range on the modern market allows you to choose a device to suit every taste. The shape of the bowl can be not only classic round, but also asymmetrical. The same can be said about the material. The most popular are earthenware, porcelain and ceramic products. However, outlandish metal and exquisite crystal models are gradually coming into fashion.
There are no restrictions here, since everything depends on the taste of the owner. However, you should be careful with glass samples. Fragile crystal can harm small children. And the most expensive option is considered to be an elite sink made of natural stone. However, if it is a talented imitation, then the decor in a stylish bathroom will not lose anything. Durable material will favorably emphasize the luxurious decoration of the room. Its performance properties will delight owners for a long time, preserving its artistic value for decoration. The disadvantages of stone sculptures include their heaviness and porous structure. The latter entails clogging of the bowl with household dirt. Exclusive products require careful care.
Now let's look at the types of sinks that are on the market:
- Tulip. Despite everyone's admiration, this model is not universal. Not every bathroom decor can accommodate a white bowl on curved leg. The latter significantly affects the ergonomics of the room, preventing the use of space under the sink. This is unacceptable for small bathrooms. The flower shape of the bowl is appropriate only in spacious apartments;
- Hanging models. We can already talk about this version of plumbing products as universal. The dimensions of the bathroom for installing such a sink do not matter. The disadvantage is considered to be the monotony of aesthetics, which can only be overcome with decorative panels;
- Angular. These models are also characterized by their versatility, as they can be either wall-hung or built-in. They are often used in combined bathrooms;
- Invoices. Products with a cabinet or sinks built into the countertop are suitable for a spacious room. Functional option allows owners to use the chest of drawers to store any items.
Thus, the choice of sink is based on two pillars: the parameters of the bathroom and the preferences of the owners.
Lighting, use of mirrors
It is hardly possible to imagine a bathroom without a large mirror. This irreplaceable product transforms the space for the better and fills it with light. Designers recommend using mirrors for visual increase area. The use of two mirrors is quite justified if more than one person lives in the apartment. The variety of shapes and decorative frames of the product allows you to choose best option for decoration in any bathroom. You can also try to decorate it with your own hands.
Another important point should be the lighting. The perception of the room directly depends on the intensity of the light. Powerful light highlights everything strengths interior, creates accents. The lamp can be of any shape, but it is better to immediately abandon a bulky chandelier. It will “eat up” too much space. Some owners prefer dim lighting. It can be easily created using a dimmer that regulates the intensity of light fluxes. Creating an intimate atmosphere in the decor of a cozy bathroom is just his thing.
Towel holders
This practical device looks most impressive on walls. The main types of construction include the following:
- Hooks;
- Various types of crossbars;
- Elegant rings;
- Combined models.
Attention! Floor structures are also available for sale.
The most popular and familiar holder is the hook. This is a budget-friendly and simple method to create beautiful folds with textiles. However, it is difficult to call him convenient option, because the towel is poorly secured. The same can be said about rings. They look more reliable, but are still inconvenient. Experts recommend using alternative hanging baskets instead of a hook. They allow you to store a variety of things. Designers prefer to arrange compact niches that stand out clearly in the interior.
After deciding on the model of heated towel rail for decoration in a cozy bathroom, you can think about design. It must be selected in accordance with other plumbing equipment, since a combination of diverse elements will look tasteless. It is also worth adding furniture designs and various accessories. For example, a glass cabinet model will go wonderfully with a chrome heated towel rail. You can add originality with a moisture-resistant vinyl curtain. Various applications are also welcome.
Color design
It is important to consider the size of the room here. If for a spacious bathroom you can choose any color scheme, then the decor for a small bathroom must be decorated exclusively light colors finishing. This is due to the fact that dark colors aggravate the enclosed space. It is also advisable to adhere to a single style. Personal perception of the color palette should come first, since the ability to relax is vital for any person. And this can only be achieved by following your own instincts. The most popular colors in the decor of a cozy bathroom are considered to be all shades of seascapes, as well as pastel shades. Don't forget about lighting. The lack of power is compensated by the light tones of the finish. Bright light allows the use of dark gloss.
Ideas for a small bathroom
A room with modest dimensions implies several interesting points. Thus, the bathtub is replaced by a shower stall with a corner configuration with a floor drain, and the classic design of the toilet is replaced by its installation. Or agree to the option with a sitz bathtub. This allows you to better organize limited space. It is better to use light panels with small patterns as finishing materials. The use of mirrors that visually expand the volume of the room is strongly encouraged. Together with powerful bright lighting, they create the illusion of spaciousness over several square meters. It could even be a door with a mirror panel. It is important to use catchy accents in the corners so that the eyes have something to catch on to. It could even be brass parts in a retro style. Their use allows the owners to create an original concept from the previous century.
When arranging a small room, you should make the most of every square meter. Many people forget that there is enough space under the bathroom to organize shelves. Drawers will allow you to hide household equipment. Built-in cabinets in the plane of the walls also save usable area. Especially if they are made in one color palette with finishing.
Instead of large plumbing fixtures, you should use mini-models with a modular configuration. They may cost a little more than regular examples, but they are a good decor for a small bathroom and will look the same. Installation of compact models is possible everywhere. These could be hand washbasins, toilets with the installation design already mentioned, corner multi-tiered modules, etc.
