Bathroom Decorating Ideas: Introduce Spring Vitality

Spring is the perfect time to implement creative bathroom decorating ideas. Elegant, swanky accessories can create a fresh look for spring, and decorators need not overdo for a successful makeover. Bathrooms are very personal, and they can be customized to suit homeowners' tastes. A few quality accessories can be paired with less expensive accents to transform the room. Functional accessories should be selected on the basis of quality—they should be durable and complement basic decor.


Sink faucets, showerheads, vanities and fixtures are items that demand quality. Good value does not need to be expensive. Well-built furniture can be repurposed for use as a vanity. Adding a vessel sink will create contemporary flair, while utilizing recycled material for cost savings and environmental responsibility. Homeowners can reglaze quality fixtures and add new faucets for a fashionable update without incurring a lot of expense. Reglazing kits are available online, or decorators can hire professional contractors to do the job. Faucet choices can become a central focus of the remodeled bathroom. Homeowners can choose from many styles and finishes for modern makeovers or period restorations. Choices of fixtures include classic polished chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, brass and many others.

Bathroom decorating ideas often match essential accessories to faucets for a professionally decorated appearance. Decorators can match faucets with towel bars, towel rings, shelving hardware, robe hooks, shower curtain rods, toilet paper holders, soap dispensers, drawer pulls or handles, and countertop accessories for organizing toiletries. Furniture, mirrors, and fixtures must be chosen to fit the dimensions of the room. Small bathrooms might combine a vanity with storage options to create additional space. New fixtures should match old configurations, or very expensive remodeling might be necessary. Modern designs can be enhanced with baskets and accessories sets with colors that create a spring-like atmosphere. Appropriate spring colors include turquoise blues, pastel yellows, pinks, greens and purples.

a bathroom can be a thing of beauty

A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to remodel a bathroom. Choose bright colors for small bathrooms to create an airy atmosphere and make the room appear larger. Colors should also match accessories or vice versa. The clever use of mirrors can also add substantial depth to small spaces. Magnifying mirrors that expand from the wall make an excellent functional accessory. Lighting choices can also create a dramatic impact. Chandeliers or pendant lighting add elegance to a room with high ceilings. Rooms with low ceilings benefit from sleek, compact oyster lights. Tiffany lamps or wall sconces might enhance period designs. Indirect lighting can illuminate the vanity area without creating shadows and glare.

Spring is a time of rebirth, and flowers or plants can add life and vitality to the room. Textiles with flower patterns also provide a touch of spring. Shower curtains and window treatments can provide a fresh look for spring, and they are easy to change for each season. If there are multiple patterns in tile, floors, or wallpaper, then choose curtains in solid colors. Simple bathroom colors can be complemented with patterned or floral curtains. Quality fabrics make curtains that will last for years, and they can be hung in different colors or patterns for each season and stored when not in use. Bathroom decorating ideas are easy to assimilate with a little online research. Decorators can view the many styles and options available quickly and see how items will actually look in real settings.
