There was a time when the bathroom wasn't a place that required much decoration; especially when you consider you can now easily fit a spa tub designed for indoor use. There are some wonderful bathroom decorating ideas out their and although it may be a functioning room, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be a pleasant place to be. After all, if you are spending about half an hour a day in the room, why shouldn't it be more relaxing?
After all, if the rest of your home is well presented, why would you want your bathroom decorating ideas to let you down? We all take it for granted that our living area and kitchen will look well presented so there is absolutely no reason why you cannot do the same for your bathroom too.
The chances are that your bathroom decorating ideas will follow the same used in the rest of your house so that every room matches to a degree. So if you like the look of certain plants on small tables throughout the house then there is no reason why this same theme should not continue in the bathroom as well. This can be equally effective, and more relaxing, if you place plants on them and will look perfectly in place as they are seen elsewhere in the house.
This can also work the other way, if you have used certain decorating or furnishing ideas in your bathroom then why not extend some of those to other areas of your home? Why not take that colorful tile that you have used around the hand wash basin into the kitchen for instance.
Fortunately many of the white tile designs in kitchens are no longer popular so colorful and traditional tiles can be used in other areas of the home including the kitchen, with equal effect. Bathroom decorating ideas are not all about tiles on the walls and floor, there are many other ideas which can be used successfully in every room.
Soap trays, dishes and dispensers are commonplace now and can be really decorative. In fact some of the home decoration periodicals have illustrated how easy it is to actually make your own soap trays and dispensers.
One of the best articles I ever read was to make them out of clay; that way, you can make them easily, and fashion them into whatever shape your heart desires. It is also a good idea to have a pleasant relaxing picture and something this simple can really set off a room and won't cost the earth. So, as cost is not an issue, there is no reason why you cannot at least, liven up your bathroom without having to completely re-decorate.
