Decorate Your Bathroom In Style
Your bathroom might be, first and foremost, a functional room but that need not mean that you cannot pursue a bold approach to designing and decorating this part of your home. When it comes to the bathroom you should really abandon any plans you had for a clinial, minimalist design and go for a comfotable, elegant yet stylish feel. One has a choice of ways to achieve an opulent, glamorous bathroom, including, but not restricted to, the liberal use of polished brass, nickel effects and bold chintz fabrics with contrasting rich, deep accent colours – to name but a few! Our Bathroom is the one area of the home where we can devote some real private time to ourself, to pamper ourselves and as part of this approach, glamorous designs and accessories help give the bathroom a feeling of decadence .
In a sense you should furnish your bathroom just like you would do with your bedroom. After all, both rooms are all about peace and quiet, that little bit of sanctuary and relaxation after a gruelling, yet satisfying days retail therapy. Accessories can make a real difference . You could use some luxury scented candles by companies like True Grace candles or Yankee candles. Soft rugs and throws, fluffy towels, beautiful lighting, statement mirrors and prints and scented candles are all perfect ways to put your stamp in the bathroom. For a unique sense of style you could also introduce free-standing furniture, space permitting in the form armoires, dressers or chest of drawers for a range of stylish storage solutions, in place of a clinical bathroom cabinet in plastic or gloss white. If your intention is to create a romantic, feminine space then French style, shabby-chic furniture works well , while mirrored furniture give a more glamorous, modern look. And if the bathroom in your home happens to be particularly large , then armchairs or benches lend an air of real indulgence, candles are always popular, while oversized mirrors are perfect for providing a focal point for any bathroom particularly if they have an ornate frame. Not only do they look good, they are functional too.
When it comes to decorating the wall or floor surfaces, luxurious ceramic tiles are hard to beat . Patterned tiles are extremely popular these days, as are antique or reclaimed tiles which are perfect for creating a relaxed country-style look. Take your cue from the patterns and colours on antique tiles and use matching or complimentary colours to paint other surfaces.
