Getting Bathroom Decor Ideas

The local bookstore is a terrific place to start. There's a plethora of books and magazines with tons of

bathroom decor ideas. We found that making an idea, or "inspiration," book is very helpful. We tore

out pictures from our favorite magazines that showcased features we wanted in our newly fabulous

space, and we filed them in a three-ring binder. We paid attention to lots of different room designs as

well as accessories. We also had to consider what kind of plumbing fixtures, vanity, sink, flooring,

window treatments (if any) and shelving we wanted, and included all of those in our book of bathroom

decor ideas.

It didn't take long for us to realize that we liked the clean, simple bathroom decor ideas best. That

meant neutral, earth-toned colors, brushed nickel faucets, and a vanity that looks almost like a piece

of furniture. We also had a local contractor give us a quote on installing a new tumbled marble floor.

Because we'd decided not to move the toilet, vanity, or shower, and because our master bath is a

modest size, the new flooring was actually not too expensive. With the big decisions behind us, we

focused on the accessories.

The Internet is another great tool for combing through bathroom decor ideas. Again, working from our

own idea notebook, we checked the net for deals on coordinating accessories such as shower

curtains, towels, and bath rugs. We were also able to find items such as toothbrush holders and soap

dispensers that fit the bill for our new look. We had fun scouting the Internet for some trendier items

we'd seen in all the magazines. Finishing the space with baskets full of sumptuous Egyptian cotton

towels, some apothecary jars filled with cotton balls and swabs, and earthenware bowls filled with

shells pulled our remodeled bath together just the way we wanted.

The biggest issue for us was to define the look we were after. I highly recommend following in our

footsteps and creating your own book of bathroom decor ideas to help get your project started. It has

taken a little longer than we thought to complete the update, but the results have made it totally

worthwhile. Luxury bathtowels
