We’ll delve into tips for decorating your bathroom in accord with today’s design principles and styles. Always remember that the most important thing is you liking your new or updated space.

Choose a Fashion-Forward Hardware Finish

If you’re doing a new build or remodeling, there will be lots of bathroom hardware to select. However, even if you are just giving the space a glowup, you can update some of the metal components. For instance, you can swap out: 

• vanity cupboard door hinges and pulls
• glass shelving clamps
• the pull handle on your glass shower enclosure
• light fixtures

The mixed metals trend began to emerge some years back, and it has proven itself worthy of consideration. Instead of choosing all a room’s metal elements in the same finish – such as chrome – designers and DIY home decorators are integrating two or even three finishes into a space. Chrome and nickel remain classic and popular. However, if you’d like to make your bathroom more in-vogue, add a contrasting metallic. Three trending finishes are: 

• matte black (like this)
• satin brass (like this)
• brushed bronze (like this)
  
  
  

Load Up on Living Things

Biophilic design emphasizes using natural items in home decorating. Embracing this approach can be relatively inexpensive and might even boost well-being. Options include:

 

• Plants in large pots near the tub and shower.
• A dish of lucky bamboo on the shower shelf.
• A vase on the vanity counter that you keep filled with seasonal branches and blooms.
• Hanging plants.
• More natural wood elements like a teak shower stool or a bamboo bathmat.
• If remodeling, choosing stone tiles instead of ceramic or porcelain.
• Window treatments that let in lots of sunlight.
• Artwork that depicts or includes items from nature.

 

Decorate with Wellness and Self-Care in Mind

Today’s home décor trends are intentional and focused on physical and mental health as well as aesthetics. We’ve already discussed bringing nature into your bathroom to boost wellness, but what are some other options? 

• Adding a handheld spray to the shower head.
• Upgrading the shower with an aromatherapy kit.
• Doing a steam shower conversion (fully enclosed glass stall with hinged transom).
• Adding a sauna or cold plunge if doing a full renovation.
• Elevating your hygiene, skincare, and beauty products to natural and luxuriant alternatives.

 

Make Environmentally Conscious Purchases

There are many ways to shop with respect for the natural world in mind. Some homeowners re-purpose old dressers and desks and retrofit them as vanities. You can also buy custom pieces built from reclaimed barnwood. In another vein, water-saving options are offered for faucets, shower heads, and even commodes. Finally, thrift stores, flea markets, antique shops, and yard sales are wonderful places to source décor items while moving away from throw-away culture.
