Decorating Your Bathroom

The luxury

Bathrooms are often left to the last during home renovations. The decision is ironic, considering that in five-star hotels and resorts, making the bathrooms as luxurious as possible is often a top decorating priority. Why pay thousands of dollars to pamper yourself on vacation when a little bathroom renovation can bring first-class luxury into your home?

Choosing shower curtains is the place to begin when decorating your bathroom. Shower curtains take up more bathroom space than anything but the walls, and the print or pattern your shower curtains display will affect every bathroom decorating decision you make.

Avoid the trendy and garish when selecting shower curtains. Look for multi-hued shower curtain patterns that will easily accommodate a variety of colors. Shower curtain rods are typically neutral, such as black, brown, or metallic, but a bright paint job can provide an unexpected streak of life. Shower curtain hooks should complement the shapes of your curtain pattern.

Tips for choosing bathroom accessories

• Antiquated bathroom light fixtures are the number one culprits for making bathrooms look terrible. If you want to see your bathroom in a new light, get a new bathroom light fixture.
• The most insignificant-seeming bathroom accessories will create a secluded paradise when used in combination. A plant or two and some scented candles will literally change a bathroom's atmosphere.
• When redecorating your bathroom, splurge on an unexpected bathroom accessory. A towel warmer will impress your guests and make bathroom towels feel awfully cozy on cold Monday mornings.
• A new light fixture and brighter accessories are going to reveal how dull your bathroom walls have become. The task of decorating your bathroom won't be complete unless you've given the walls and ceiling a new paint job.
