 Top Tips To Think About When Decorating Your Bathroom

If you’re thinking about getting your new bathroom designed by My Beautiful Bathroom, then you’re making a wise choice. We can take care of everything for you, from planning, right through to delivery. But what about if you want to decorate your new bathroom yourself? Of course, that’s not a problem either. It’s one of life’s greatest pleasures, being able to look around happily at your new room and thinking of fun ways to make it your own. There’s plenty you can do to turn your new bathroom into a room that reflects your own decorating styles and taste, whatever your budget. Here are just a few helpful hints to get you started…

 Upon Reflection

No matter what size your bathroom is, a big mirror is the perfect accessory. The bigger the better in our books. It immediately doubles the space you seem to have and adds extra brightness and depth to the room by reflecting light. A big mirror is also luxurious and allows more than one person to brush their teeth or fix their hair at the same time. You can get all kinds of mirrors to suit any taste and budget, from plain to those with a frosted design at the sides to those with light fixtures already fitted.

 The Perfect Blinds

A subtle blind that blends well into the colour scheme of the room is ideal, but in a bathroom it’s also important to think about blinds that will work well with a damp environment. Faux wooden blinds add a rustic feel to the room and will not suffer from the humidity. If you want something more delicate, PVC or treated linen is less noticeable and looks great. You can make your window dressing look more interesting with a chiffon curtain in a pastel shade swept to one side – adding an ethereal feel to the room as well as giving your bathroom some extra dimension.

 Great Paint

If you decided you didn’t want to tile your bathroom from top to toe, then waterproof paint is the perfect way to enhance the look of your bathroom without having to worry about the effect the moisture will have on the paint. Oil based paint is guaranteed to keep water out and to prevent against future issues such as mould forming on the paint film. You can also get a waterproof coating over your current paint colour if you can’t bear the thought of changing it!

 Go Retro With Stencils

Stencils are back, and they are a great all-purpose way to change the look of your bathroom without having to go to much expense. If you measure carefully its also fairly foolproof, and stencilling along the highest point of the wall near the ceiling can draw the eye upwards and add to the feeling of space in your bathroom. Go for colours that complement the colour scheme in your new bathroom, and you’ll be proud to show people that the extra touch is your very own!
