Inexpensive Bathroom Decorating Ideas

There are so many inexpensive bathroom decorating ideas to be found but ironically this room tends to be neglected by many homeowners. The bathing area is one of the least expensive rooms in the home to decorate but few people put effort into this project. Many of us think that a good bathroom makeover consists of a new shower curtain and a matching seat cover.

Tip! Lighting and mirrors are two things that you may want to consider splurging on for your bathroom. Less expensive bathroom decorating ideas include simply getting matching paint, shower curtain, bath mats and bath accessories.

Here are a few bathroom decorating ideas to consider. They won't cost a lot of money and they will transform your bath to an oasis. These bathroom decorating ideas are not very difficult to implement but they will make a big difference for the smallest room of your home.

Since the bathing area is the smallest room in most homes, it may be a good idea to create the illusion of space by adding a collection of mirrors. Smaller mirrors will do very well. Large wall mirrors may overwhelm such a tiny space. Adding decorative frames to the mirrors can create an attractive display.

Among my favorite bathroom decorating ideas is using candles. Scented candles are perfect for this space. They not only create a lovely glow but the fragrances can be very calming and relaxing after a long day. Choosing fragrances like vanilla and lavender is a great way to turn your bathroom into a sanctuary.

Tip! If you have a rather large bathroom, you have room to add touches that cannot be found in smaller bathrooms. Find a piece of furniture, such as a stand or towel rack that you simply love, and your bathroom decorating ideas can form around that piece.

You may also want to consider using utilitarian items in your bathroom decorating ideas. For example, I arranged large, fluffy towels in an oversized basket. The great thing about this approach is you can change the entire complexion of the room with different colored towels. Like the candles, this is one of the bathroom decorating ideas that serves a dual purpose.

Decorative soaps serve two purposes as well. Even if you never use them for washing these soaps are commonly scented and add a little fragrance to the room. You can also make your own soaps as well. Making the soaps on your own will make them unique and specific to your tastes.

Not all bathroom decorating ideas need to revolve around visual elements and fragrances. Sound is another factor in creating an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Using a radio or compact disc player in this room can really help you complete your spa-like bathing area.

Other details include a comfortable robe and slippers for form as well as function. You also may want to carry elements from other rooms into your bathroom decorating ideas. Seashells, decorative ashtrays and even plants can make your bathroom seem a lot less utilitarian and more like a retreat.
