How to decorate your bathroom yourself?
Decorating with your own hands brings not only pleasure, but also gives you the opportunity to bring fantastic ideas to life.
Let's see what can be done:
- place a painting in the bathroom;
- mirror decor;
- using shells as decoration;
- original shelves, racks, niches;
- creative hangers for different towels;
- various tiles;
- placement of plants.
Floor mat
A bathroom floor mat is not only slip-resistant, but also an excellent decorative item, regardless of the overall style decision.
- It is worth noting that experts do not recommend choosing a “mat-curtain-cowl for the toilet”, since such a set deprives the bathroom of its individuality and some zest.
- Bathroom rugs that are made with your own hands, for example from pebbles or woven with an unusual pattern, look very stylish and interesting.
Decoration with paintings
Decorating a hygiene room with paintings is gaining popularity. Spa style is trending. Wall paintings create a mood and help you relax.
Themes are often marine: mermaids, panoramic landscapes of the ocean (sea), waterfalls, etc. You can make an entire art gallery from pictures of various sizes on one wall above the bathroom.
Decorating with paintings
The original wall decor in the bathroom can be transformed with the help of special paintings. This method appeared relatively recently, but has become incredibly popular all over the world.
World designers are trying to create bathroom spaces decorated with reproductions of world artists. This solution will create the most calm and pleasant environment.
You can enjoy looking at the paintings while taking a bath. They also become the highlight of the overall interior.
Mirror decor
A mandatory attribute for bathrooms is a large mirror, especially convenient above the sink. Experts offer many ideas for decorating mirrors.
Instructions for bathroom decor:
- making an original frame;
- the contours of the mirror can be covered with shells, adhesive tape or tile crumbs;
- adding beautiful lighting;
- original method of hanging a mirror.
You can make a wooden frame in the shape of a circle, rectangle or irregular shape. You can trim the edges with rope in several rows.
Use PVA glue (“Moment”) to decorate a round mirror with large flat buttons of various colors. Seashells are a great decoration for a mirror. It’s easy to stick a variety of shells along the edge to create a voluminous decoration.
If the family is large, it is convenient to have two mirrors next to each other or hang them on opposite walls. This will add personality to the room.
Experts offer interesting options for ready-made design solutions for various styles in the photo below.
Country style
You don't have to buy an expensive wooden tub to transform your bathroom into a rustic one. You can diversify an ordinary interior using the following tips:
- Use a wooden board to cover the space under the bathtub. Before installation, the wood should be coated with a moisture-repellent agent.
- Another option is to frame the bathtub using a pleated fabric curtain. The same method is suitable for the washbasin.
- You can build a canopy from textiles that will be placed on the bathroom. Be sure to use small floral wooden patterns.
- It is better to hang wooden shelves in the room. For better preservation, you can replace natural wood with plastic that imitates wood.
- Vases with wildflowers and paintings of rural landscapes will complement the overall picture. It is better to choose a mirror with a “patina of old age” or in a frame with scuffs.
- It is better to put linen, towels and cosmetics in wicker baskets.

Stone for bathroom walls
Proponents of natural stone in interiors know that its advantage over traditional tiles lies in its unique beauty, as well as its large size. Large format marble imitations are taking the market by storm. Thanks to the production technology of high-resolution printing on a porcelain stoneware base, they are as beautiful as natural stone. The print is taken from life, so they reproduce the real appearance of the stone slab. You can also choose the gloss level of the stone surface.
Imitation marble porcelain tiles used to decorate bathroom walls require virtually no maintenance - they do not need impregnation, do not scratch or get dirty, they can simply be wiped with a cloth. Another hit material is large ceramic plates measuring 100 x 300 cm (ceramic granite, sintered quartz).
Their use gives the most chic effect when they are located on large surfaces. Imagine an entire shower wall made from one large slab. No seams! You'll need an experienced professional to install these slabs, but it's worth it.
When choosing tiles for finishing bathroom walls, keep in mind that:
- in the dark you can see the sediment left behind by the water drops,
- you don’t need to lay tiles on the ceiling (they interrupt the interior), just lay the tiles in places most exposed to moisture, and paint the remaining walls with special paint for bathrooms - this will reduce the cost of finishing;
- the larger the tile, the fewer seams and divisions.
Creating shelves
Niches are especially impressive, where it is convenient to place shelving, open shelves for towels, shampoo, soap, cups with toothbrushes, etc. Shelves can be made of different materials.
There are a lot of beautiful ideas for bathroom decor. You can consider alternative decoration options - hand-made wicker baskets for all sorts of little things.
Niches can be in contrasting colors compared to the walls. The niche may have a shallow depth. This stylish decorative element can become the highlight of the room.
Bathroom walls: trendy concrete
Bathroom wall tiles perfectly imitate not only wood - the second most popular material is imitation concrete - smooth, worn, light, dark. Slabs 120 x 120 cm are no longer uncommon, they are becoming more and more common.
And since porcelain stoneware is easier to maintain and does not require labor-intensive installation technology (for example, natural concrete), it finds many supporters. Imitation stone looks especially good on large formats.
Plants
High humidity requires unpretentious plants that tolerate humid climates well.
Experts offer the best option for dark bathrooms or without windows - artificial bouquets in original vases. Ikebana looks beautiful when matched to the style of the room.
How to choose artificial plants for the bathroom
From a practical point of view, you need to choose flowers so that they can be easily cleaned from splashes - they are inevitable in the bathroom. The place for them must be chosen so that they do not interfere with hygiene procedures. As for aesthetics, decorating with artificial flowers is a whole direction of phytodesign, which has its own rules. For example:
- For a bathroom designed in an ethnic style or decorated in bright colors, exotic plants are suitable. For example, cacti will fit well into the Mexican style.
- For a room decorated in the spirit of minimalism, small potted plants, such as succulents and ferns, are suitable.
- For a Japanese-style room - a small bonsai. Bamboo in a laconic flowerpot is also suitable.
- For a classic style, you can choose vases with artificial flowers - roses, peonies, orchids.
- If the size of the room allows, then you can buy a large container with a large flower or even a tree. For example, a small orange tree will look good in a Mediterranean-style interior. And Ficus Lirata in a concrete flowerpot will fit into a loft-style interior.
There are plants that have a place even in the smallest room. For example, these are miniature petunias. They can be white, lilac, pink. Petunias will fit perfectly into an interior decorated in pastel colors. Pots with such flowers can be placed on the washbasin or bathtub. They have a place on the shelf under the mirror.
The shape of the plant and the pot or flowerpot plays an important role. Sometimes there is simply no room to place a pot or vase in the bathroom. In this case, you should pay attention to hanging varieties. For example, these could be hanging flowers in hanging flower pots. Phytomodules look interesting, in which several plants can be placed at once. Climbing specimens such as vines and ivy can disguise communications.

If you have a small room, then you need to think about how to visually enlarge it. For this you can use a large number of mirrors. It is better to place them in different places, which will make the space larger and more voluminous.
This will add lightness and airiness. Decorating a small bathroom with a mirror is also necessary from a practical point of view.
