Double curtains, subdued lighting, wallpaper and tiles and other interesting techniques for finishing and decorating a bathroom

How do we usually decorate the bathroom area?

Ceramic tiles from top to bottom, concrete or tiled floor, light colors, minimum decorative elements.

Don't you think that this approach smacks of boredom and banality? But you can give your bathroom an unusual, sophisticated and original look, just by slightly deviating from the accepted canons, says Yulia Tychino .

For example, combine tiles and moisture-resistant wallpaper in the wall decoration. Let the tiles take the place near the bathtub or shower, and all the other walls will be covered with durable, beautiful and moisture-resistant wallpaper.

This technique will help not only to diversify the decoration of the room, but also to zone it.

You can also experiment with tiles: if you intend to decorate the walls with large slabs, place several smaller ones, differing in color and texture, between two elements of such slabs.

Something like this would look appropriate near a sink or toilet.

Or, instead of a single shower curtain, hang double ones: one curtain will still be waterproof, and the second will be made of fabric.

True, to implement this technique you will need to make a double curtain rod, but you can get by with just one. Just alternate the fastenings when attaching both curtains to it.

Often, bright lighting is installed in the bathroom so that the light helps you wake up faster when washing your face or brushing your teeth in the morning. But no one is stopping you from using a different approach.

Install a lamp with a warm, diffused light in the area where the bathtub is located: this technique will help you relax and unwind more effectively during water procedures in the evening.

It is somehow common to see bathrooms where the walls are decorated only with tiles or wallpaper, but strict and monochromatic. But what about adding a bright accent, using posters or paintings for this purpose?

Of course, it is necessary to carefully protect them so that the canvas does not warp from moisture and the paint does not flow.

Either a moisture-resistant varnish, which can be used to cover the painting, or durable transparent glass will come to the rescue here. And don’t think that the painting is only suitable for decorating the wall: it can also be attached to the bathroom door.

If you still intend to give the interior of your bathroom a strict and monochromatic look, do so by selecting the necessary textiles.

Yes, if there are several people living in the house, it is quite difficult to figure out who owns the same beige towels.

However, you can "fix" a specific version for a specific person by embroidering the owner's name on the edge of each towel, or by somehow highlighting the hook on which the towels are hung.

For example, for a son there will be a hook with a car, for mom - one that looks like a flower, and for dad - a standard white/black one.

Popular home fragrances, in the form of aroma diffusers or candles, will not only replace standard air fresheners, but will also play the role of decorative elements.

Place a tray on the nightstand or shelf above the sink, place candles or a diffuser with wooden skewers on it, add shells, pebbles, a small rolled-up towel to the composition - and the bathroom will become more cozy, fragrant and pleasant.

Finally, in the bathroom you can and should decorate the space with real live flowers.

A tub with a ficus, a small pot with a violet or a cactus, any succulents that can grow in dark and damp rooms will perfectly decorate and enliven the bathroom.
