Fluffing Up Your Bathroom
We spend a significant amount of time in our bathrooms each day, so why shouldn’t they be just as cozy and inviting as the rest of our home? Creating a warm and inviting bathroom is not a monumental task. In fact, it can be quite simple and inexpensive. The following are just a handful of ideas to help design a bathroom you’ll look forward to stepping into, regardless of its size.
Monogrammed Towels
Nothing says polished quite like a beautiful set of monogrammed towels. If the idea of monogramming sounds too traditional for your taste, have a little fun with the idea by monogramming a set of towels in vibrant colors or with a customized monogram. Displayed properly, the set will work wonders to make your bathroom look polished and put together.
Basket of Towels
Towels are an integral part of the bathroom and should be easily accessible to both you and your guests. Buy a spacious, neutral toned basket for your bathroom floor and fill with it rolled towels. You’ll be amazed by the impact this small step can have.
Mirror
To truly transform the space, go mirror shopping. The selection of mirrors on the market these days is astounding, there are countless shapes and colors to choose from. Decide on something that reflects your own personal style to impart some of your personality into your bathroom.
Shower Curtain
If you have a tub and shower combination that requires a curtain, be sure to choose a curtain made of quality fabric. Like it or not, the curtain is an instant focal point in the room. Steer clear of a trendy pattern or color. You’re better off opting for a classic pattern or muted color that won’t dominate the space. And don’t forget about the hardware for your curtain. The hangers and rod are almost as important as the curtain itself.
Don’t Forget the Photographs
Our homes are filled with our favorite snapshots but we often forget to add them to our bathrooms. Nothing warms a room quite like smiling photos of our favorite people. Adding photos to your bathroom will immediately make it inviting. If you are extra courageous and have the space, design a gallery wall of frames for your bathroom.
Bathroom Staple: Candles
Don’t forget one of the most important accessories for your bathroom: candles. No bathroom should be without a few quality candles. Be sure you and your guests have a way to light the candles or they’ll be of no use. For an added design touch, shop online for vintage matchbooks and display alongside the candles.
Guest Basket
If you are fortunate enough to have a guest bathroom, make it warm and cozy by stocking it with anything your guests may need during their time in your home. Label a basket on the counter the “guest basket” and fill it with travel size toiletries. Make sure the basket includes a tin box of breath mints.
Docking Station
In our world where technology reigns supreme, join in the fun by adding a docking station to your bathroom. There’s no better place to sing than in the shower so you may as well have your tunes nearby. Your bathroom is just a few accessories away from being a warm and inviting spot, regardless of its size. These ideas will work for the smallest and largest of spaces. The perfect designs are all in the details.
