Decorating Bathroom Tips

Most people when they decide to decorate their bathrooms, they usually choose all new fixtures like the sink and new lighting fixtures. Or they change the faucets on the sink. Other people like to change the paint as well as the window curtains and the shower curtains to make them match. Half the population is divided on whether or not they should have a light color bathroom or a dark color. It is hard to choose because in the winter you want a warm color for the bathroom so the room seems warmer in the winter and in the summer you want light colors because it makes the room brighter.

You can either choose one way or the other or some people actually change their colors every season. What you can do is paint the bathroom a shade of white or a blue shade is nice and then decorate your bathroom with either dark or light color curtains for the windows or shower curtains. This way for every season instead of changing the paint simply changes the decorations. It will save you money as well as time and you get the look for each season.

You may want to change the lighting fixtures or even a vanity change can improve the look of the room. You can choose from Victorian, Modern, Contemporary or 18th Century. Maybe instead of paint you want wallpaper that can change the whole dynamic. Wall paper can make a room look bigger or smaller. So you have to be careful what style you choose.

If you plan on changing your whole bathroom then make sure you do the following:

Think about the function of the room first
Map out how much space you have in the room
Choose the colors and the theme of the room before hand
Know what type of surfaces you want to have
Add some drama with your fixtures
Be careful when choose your lighting
It is ok to mix soft and hard colors
Try to make the room as environmentally friendly as possible
