Small Bathroom Decor Ideas

When decorating our homes, our bathrooms are often left until last – or forgotten about! The space needs to be functional and easy to clean, but it can also be vibrant and welcoming. While getting excited over bathroom decor might come naturally to most, we are here to help inspire you.

Create a calming and inviting space to escape and have a relaxing bath after a long, busy day. Whether you are trying to switch off your thoughts after a hectic day at work or need five minutes to yourself, the bathroom can be your tranquil escape.

Everything neatly tucked away

Keeping a space tidy can make a big difference. Open shelves are wonderful for showing off decor and housing plants, but baskets and cupboards are far more practical for essentials. Whilst it is great having your everyday things to hand, items such as toilet rolls and mouthwash can look messy when left out.

Consider your space and budget, and then find some suitable storage units. Keep all your clutter organised and out of sight, giving the room a much neater and more attractive appearance.

Consider all of your senses

I think it is fair to say that nobody wants a bad-smelling bathroom. Keep your space smelling fresh with a good quality reed diffuser, which offers a long-lasting fragrance. Scented candles are a great alternative and create a soothing ambience when lit. If your candle is a good quality brand, it may even be fragrant in between burning.

Although it’s sometimes considered old-fashioned, you could consider some potpourri. When displayed in a transparent vase or a decorative bowl, they can look beautiful and offset your colour palette. And the best part, of course, is that they provide a consistent and pleasant smell for the space.

New towels make a big difference

If your home is anything like mine, you will have a mismatched collection of towels from all walks of life. Why not treat yourself to a new set? Aside from enjoying the softness of fresh, new towels, you can use this purchase to add style. Give your room a pop of colour with a bold shade, or alternate shades between towel sizes to create an attractive contrast.

If you are feeling particularly creative, neatly rolled towels on an open shelf can make an attractive bathroom feature. If it sounds like a lot of faffing and upkeep, consider a spacious bathroom cupboard as an alternative.

Perk it up with plants

I cannot say it enough, always add plants! If you’re not green-fingered, don’t worry, even artificial plants can make an impact. Adding houseplants to a space encourages relaxation and improves wellbeing. Green is a particularly easy colour to blend in with any palette, making them an affordable way to really give the room a lift.

From large, leafy palms in the corner of the room to tiny cacti on your windowsill, those little pops of green will really brighten up the place. You will be surprised what a difference can be made with just a few, simple additions.

Lastly, embrace your style

The most important thing to remember when designing any space in your home is to make it somewhere you love. Choosing accessories and decorative items personal to you will help you relax in your surroundings. At the end of the day, this is somewhere you will spend a lot of your time and so should be somewhere you feel comfortable.

Embrace your favourite colours, hang your favourite wall art and add functionality that suits your lifestyle. The bathroom might not be a commonly admired room in the home, but with a few special touches, it could soon become your favourite.
