Ways to Add Fun to Your Bathroom
Many homeowners spend weeks and months decorating their office space, the kitchen, and the bedroom. They love choosing colors, debating cabinet types, and choosing items that tell a story about their homes. However, one room is often overlooked: the bathroom.
Bathrooms tend to be small and utilitarian. The space that isn’t consumed by the shower and toilet gets limited, which makes people believe that they don’t have much room to work with in their bathrooms. Don’t despair; you can personalize even the smallest bathrooms in the following three ways.
Turn Your Bathroom Into a Mini Spa

People are often so focused on the function that they fail to enjoy the fashion of their bathrooms. Do you have a bath-and- shower combo, but you never use the bath? Do you have a makeup mirror, but you use it only to check for pimples and correct eyeliner? Take stock of the room and add accessories to turn the space into a mini spa.
For example, pick up some bath bombs, soaps, and loofah sponges, and display them in decorative urns or bowls around the room. Pick up some Pottery Barn coupons and start shopping. Not only will these bathroom products add color to your decor, but these items will also encourage you to use them from time to time when you need to relax.
If you have space in a master bathroom, consider finding a stool or adding a small vanity that you can sit beside when you’re getting ready in the morning. These touches will make you feel like royalty and give your room a feeling of class.
Embrace a Nature or Forest Theme
One of the most common themes for bathroom decor involves the beach. Since water is already present, homeowners can paint the room blue, add some seashells, and call it a day. You, however, can tap into the nature of water without designing a space for a would-be beach house.
Instead of blue, go green. Look for deep forest greens and accent them with browns, tans, and blacks to create a natural feel. Use your Bed Bath & Beyond coupons to find the right towels to help you set the tone. You can also keep plants that can survive with minimal sunlight in your bathroom as well. With plant life, you will feel like you stepped into a lush tropical forest when you decide to take a shower.
Get Creative With Storage
If containers to store your products, makeup sets, and jewelry consume your space, then you’re not getting creative enough. Check out some creative storage ideas that allow you to display your jewelry or turn your makeup brushes and gels into art. Not only will these solutions free up a room so that you have more space to get creative, but it will also help you decorate your walls and add color to an otherwise monochromatic room.
You can easily wow your guests and use your bathroom decor to create a statement. Simply treat the small space like an opportunity instead of a hindrance.
