Nature scenes are great for a relaxing feel in the bathroom.
Attractive, coordinating d cor is essential to creating an aesthetic appeal within the home. The bathroom is no exception to this. Most people don't think of the "lowly" bathroom as being an important enough room to put much decorating thought into, but you may be surprised to see what just a little wall art can do to spice up the look and feel of any bathroom.
Shadow Boxes
A shadow box is a box-like picture frame that allows you to place objects inside to create a 3-D type of picture art. These boxes are typically available at stores such as Wal-Mart and Target as well as crafting stores. If you're creative and have the time, however, you can build your own by using a wooden box with a sliding lid. Simply cut a piece of clear plastic or glass to take the place of the lid and slide it into place. A shadow box is an excellent idea for beach or tropical themed bathrooms. Simply add objects and materials like sand, seashells, pebbles, starfish and anything else applicable you can fit inside. The best part of a shadow box is you can change it as your d cor changes; you don’t have to buy new art to go with your new paint job or to incorporate a holiday theme.
Black and White
When you’re looking for pictures or paintings for your bathroom, try black and white. When you go with black and white you can pick art that includes both photos and paintings and you don't have to worry about color schemes. Black and white also allows for simplicity. You can go with a basic, serene bathroom setting and your black and white photo will fit right in. Try thin black or white frames arranged on a shelf or hung on the wall to really make these pictures pop.
Types of Pictures/Photos
Think about settings and objects that convey a sense of serenity. Think flowers, and photos that contain flowers as the focal point. Nature settings are very popular for the bathroom; think waterfalls, fields of wild flowers and trail pictures. In addition to looking great, these photos add an element of calmness and serenity to the bathroom, which is great for relaxing while taking a bubblebath or getting ready for a stressful day. For those with a sense of humor, there are plenty of options as well. Think bathroom humor, such as a portrait of your favorite comic strip, or creative pictures of different toilets. Don’t be afraid to get creative when it comes to bathroom art. Your goal should be to make it a welcoming, comfortable room both for guests who use it and for yourself on a day-to-day basis.
