Some rooms just lend themselves to interior design—living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, dining rooms, and even outdoor spaces. However, there’s one room in the house that is first and foremost simply about function, which might be a reason why we reduce a natural focus on its design: We’re talking about the bathroom!
While it might not be at the top of one's mind when it comes to modern decor, a bathroom makeover can actually be a real mood booster. The bathroom is used consistently as part of our daily rituals and it should also naturally support our needs for creativity and/or calming vibes. It’s also a great opportunity to showcase a lot of personality! Or, if preferred, the place to display bolder design over other spaces in the home.
Bathrooms are usually one of the last spaces in a home to be considered when it comes to design and decoration, yet this space is an extension of one's style and home aesthetic as well. Perhaps a small space, but a great way to show-off unique individuality and supportive vibes in an intimate setting. Let's talk about some ways we can do that in the bathroom:
1. Vanity Decor
Vanity decor, can be anything from cherished toiletries to actual works of art. Set these items directly on your vanity or shelving in the bathroom. You can group items together, such as:
2. Bold Accents
Bathrooms don't need to be just plain or full of water lilies. Bold accenting can be achieved through color blocking or even unique accessories, such as this Brass Toilet Paper Holder, that also doubles as a wall hook. Whatever the choice, don't be afraid to go bold.
3. Light It Up
Don't forget that proper lighting contributes to how one feels in a space. That's why we often see candles in bath spaces or even bright lighting in vanity mirror areas. Depending on the necessary vibe, be it for looking one's best down-to-the-up-close-details or for a romantic, peaceful soak in the tub, the right mixture of electric lighting and candles can help achieve the best of both worlds.
Pop of Modern's recommended approach to bathrooms, is to focus mainly on the decorative details rather than the overall scheme. These spaces don’t usually need any investment in pieces of furniture, so it's better to have fun picking out the little finishing touches.
