From your first apartment to your typical bathroom refresh, these bathroom ideas will help make your bathroom look stunning.
Bathrooms are one of the most used rooms in your home, especially for your guests. It makes sense that you would want to create a stunning bathroom moment, right? Whether you are looking to do a total bathroom makeover or just spice things up a bit, these bathroom ideas are super easy to do and won't break the bank.
When you're figuring out what you want to do with your bathroom, you have to consider what areas your eyes are naturally drawn to. If your eyes go straight to the sink immediately after walking into the bathroom, then make that area shine. If the toilet is the first thing you see, then make that area into a little moment.
Regardless of what you decide to do, make it fun! These bathroom ideas will give you inspiration for all your bathroom projects and help make your bathroom look amazing.
This post is all about bathroom ideas.
1. Add a Runner
I know, kinda weird to put an actual rug in the bathroom instead if a bath mat, but adding an accent rug in your bathroom can make a world of difference!
If you have a large enough bathroom, putting a runner in front of your vanity or along the length of the floor will make your bathroom look high-end and professionally designed.
Runners are especially good for bathrooms because of their shape and price. They easily fit into a longer room and they won't break the bank like area rugs. Plus, runners allow your bathroom floor to peek through, so if you have cool tile or flooring you want to show off, get a runner!
2. Cool Tile
There's just something about a good wall tile in the bathroom. Whether you choose to put it in the shower or all over the walls, having an eye-catching tile in your bathroom will make your space so unique and stylish!
There are literally millions of tiles to choose from, and a lot of them are at affordable prices. You shouldn't have any issues choosing a tile that works with your bathroom!
3. Add a Stool
Don't have room for a side table in your bathroom? Get yourself a stool!
Stools save so much more space and can triple as a side table, a step stool, or a small chair. It's a win-win-win situation! Place candles, plants, soaps, and so much more on stools to not only add style to your bathroom but also to serve as a place where you can put daily toiletries and supplies.
Plus, if you have perfumes, nice soaps, or dainty trinkets that you want to showcase, placing them on a stool near your bathtub, shower, or counter will make your bathroom look high-end and super luxurious.
4. Warm it up with Greenery
Greenery is always a good idea when you want to add warmth to your space, especially your bathroom. Bathrooms can feel so stale and uninviting, so spruce things up a bit with a plant here and there!
Whether it's with succulents, a fern, eucalyptus, or olive branches, adding greenery to your bathroom will make the space so cozy that you'll want to grab your favorite book, light a candle, and soak for hours in the tub!
5. Create Symmetry
Our eyes are naturally drawn to symmetry. In faces, in things, and of course, in bathrooms!
Use this to your advantage by creating a sense of order in your bathroom so you never feel overwhelmed or like the space is too messy. The easiest way to do this is by using mirrors, light fixtures, faucets, and decor.
This is also a super easy way to make your bathroom look and feel high-end while staying low-cost
6. Hang Towels Like a Pro
There's nothing that kills the mood of your bathroom more than leaving your towels on the shower rod or door, piled up on the floor, or draped over the counter. For a more luxurious look, create an area where you can hang your towels in style!
This is seriously so cheap to do. Grab some cute wall hooks and a couple pieces of wall decor, and you have yourself a towel area that looks like it was designed by a professional.
7. Play with Shapes
Aren't asymmetrical mirrors just so fun?! They create a ton of visual interest and are always a conversation piece if they're put in your powder or guest bathroom.
There's just something about a fun mirror that takes your bathroom to the next level. There are so many shapes you can choose from, so why go with your typical rectangular bathroom mirror? Get out of your comfort zone and push the limits in your bathroom!
Plus, you can find wall mirrors for pretty affordable prices nowadays, which makes this bathroom idea an easy project to do by yourself that won't break the bank.
8. Accent with Wallpaper
okay, I know what you're thinking. Wallpaper is so outdated. But here's the thing, it's really not!
Using wallpaper all over the walls in your powder bathroom or just as an accent in your master and guest bathroom creates visual interest and dimension. Far from that stale, cold bathroom feeling, right?
There are TONS of wallpapers for every style, budget, and space, so you will definitely be able to find something you love. If you like a neutral color palette, consider going with a muted, more simple pattern. If you want a pop, go with a brighter, busier pattern. The options are literally endless!
9. Hang Art
This is a total fool-proof bathroom idea. When in doubt, hang a piece of art on your walls.
Whether it's over your toilet or on a side wall, hanging pictures, paintings, or even personal art will make your bathroom feel warmer and more inviting. Plus, who doesn't love a good pop of color or a moment of visual interest?
