What is the smallest room in the house? Of course you probably answered the bathroom. While it may be the smallest, it’s not the least important because it’s a place to enjoy a hot shower or a relaxing bubble bath. The design of the bathroom can reflect well on your house. It is a place that nearly everyone goes when they are visiting , so as important as the kitchen or living area are, creating a bold look or a soothing one in the bathroom can be a fun decorating opportunity.
There are many options from the basins and toilets, shower areas and luxurious tubs, tile for the floor and possibly the walls. Then there are the fixtures to choose. Some lights have dimmers and then there are track lights and there are even shower only lighting fixtures. The choices can be combined and matched to create a look that is uniquely yours and the best part is that a bit of a facelift can make a big difference in how the room looks and yet can be very affordable.
Color is a way to make a statement and tie together the elements of the bathroom. Repainting the room can add a whole different look without changing anything. Accessories like fancy soaps, covers for the soap bottle on the sink and even some flowers or seashells can add a pop of color and connects any color scheme or theme much like picking out pillows that have the same green as in the carpet.
Tile for the floor or for the area around the sink can also add a distinct look to the room with large or small pieces that can be vivid or subtle, plain or floral. Really designs can be as unique as the person doing the designing. Finally, don’t forget the toilet seat. There are several types to choose from for those, as well.
In addition to the color scheme and decorations, the overall layout should be functional, if possible. Being able to move about the room in a way that is comfortable can make using the bathroom a more pleasant experience. Since most will not have the luxury to pick how the bathroom is constructed, being able to decorate it as you choose can make a big difference. So consider that it’s the “smallest room in the house”, but it’s not the Least Important by any means.
