For a cozier bathroom, try adding dimmer lighting. A table lamp or pendant lights that emit a softer glow is a nice feature to have, especially if you’re taking a shower or winding down at night. You can also consider installing dimmer switches to improve the ambiance of the space.
Pick new hand towels with patterns for a pop of color, or go with seasonal-themed ones for a completely different feel. Mix and match the color of your bath mats instead of opting for boring ones. Or better yet, look for vintage-style rugs that are washable and low maintenance.
Filigree-shaped mirrors can add a little bit of sparkle to your bathroom and can create a unique focal point. If you love large mirrors, you can hang one on the spot above the sink to cover most of the wall. But if the last thing you’d want is an oversized one, you can opt to hang two matching mirrors to break up the space and have a spot in between for art or a sconce.
While the ideal design is to match the hardware with major fixtures, you can introduce a second finish on knobs and accessories (such as using chrome and brass) that will add variety without overdoing it. Also, don’t forget that the minor fixtures should not only be stylish but also durable and complement your bathroom’s overall design theme.
Shift into thrift mode and frame items such as prints and photographs, printed fabric, and tapestries. Nature or plant-themed prints are also a popular choice. And if you’re crafty, you can even design an abstract piece on your own. You can often find inexpensive but unique vintage wall decors at thrift stores and flea markets to create a unique gallery wall that can be admired from the tub and soothe your nerves while relaxing into the night.
