Your bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house, but it can go ignored. Let’s face, it, the bathroom isn’t the room you’re hoping to show off to guests. It’s meant to be practical so you can live a comfortable and hygienic life. Does that mean there’s no need to think about style when designing your bathroom?
Not necessarily. While you don’t spend all day in the bathroom, you still spend a fair amount of time in there, especially if you have a bath. It’s also nice to be greeted by a pleasant room, rather than a room that’s hard to keep clean and that you’re ashamed of.
So, here are some bathroom design ideas to level things up.
Illuminated Bathroom Mirrors
The bathroom mirror is an important part of the bathroom. It might get used to help people brush their teeth, shave their face, apply makeup, and otherwise check on their appearance and make sure they look okay.
An illuminated bathroom mirror takes this to the next level. This way, the lighting is perfect no matter what, allowing you to get the most out of your mirror. You can also find illuminated bathroom mirrors with a defogging function, which means that you can use them even in a steamy room.
Bath Towels and Mats
You should also think about the softer items in your bathroom. Towels and mats can bridge the gap between style and practicality. Hand towels are always useful, as you can dry your hands when you need to. Larger towels allow you to dry your body. Consider Australian made towels so you know where they’ve come from and can trust their quality.
Bath mats prevent the bathroom floor from getting wet every time you step out of the shower. They dry your feet and catch water droplets. Without a mat, you might find the floor becomes wet and slippy, which is never a good combination.
Bathroom Plants
The bathroom is a great place to grow low-maintenance, humidity loving plants. The plants add greenery to the bathroom, and can be the next step to transform a bathroom into a spa room, especially if they’re near the bath.
Bathroom plants also don’t need a lot of care, because they essentially get watered by the humidity in the room. Like any other plant, it’s still good to pay attention to them, but you can just enjoy them.
Decor
You can find other decor items that don’t interfere with the practicality of your bathroom. For example, some wall hangings work especially well. Make sure you find materials that don’t mind the high humidity, as some real paintings and paper might suffer.
Get attractive soap dispensers and decant your hand soap. This is more practical and adds to the unity and style of your bathroom. You can even save money by buying large soap containers in bulk and simply refilling when you need to. Think about what looks good and doesn’t get in the way or is hard to clean.
