1.The first suggestion for small bathroom areas is to add glass shelving across the windows. This is relatively easy to do, and these shelves are a great place for bright-colored glass items or other interesting collections. In most bathrooms the window's only serves as something to be covered up, so rather than purchase window treatments, us these glass shelves filled with decorative items as a replacement for window treatments, as they will not only limit the view, but they will also increase the style and dcor of the room.

2.Look for proper art for your bathroom. The bathroom is not the right place in a house for your family photos, as much as you love your son, daughter, or parent, you don't really want their happy smiling face staring down at you while you are sitting on the pot, so rather, take this as an opportunity to enhance your cultural side, and you artwork to enhance your bathroom. Many feel that they can't hang any sort of artwork in the bathroom because it will be ruined by the moisture, this may be the case in some instances, but if you get it properly framed, and hang it in a well ventilated place, it is a great option. Before hanging any artwork in your bathroom, determine the quality of the ventilation. Don't hang signed lithographs, originals or anything irreplaceable if moisture collects on the walls after you shower or bathe. Paintings on canvas perform the best in bathrooms. Canvas may sag when exposed to moisture, but will tighten as it dries. However, if you are worried about paintings etc. being ruined, opt for other forms of art such as sculptures, and ceramics or glass

3.One of the best tools for bathroom decorating is plants. If you want to be considered a good decorator then think like one. if you place a houseplant and folded or rolled stacks of towels by the tub it will break up the lines of the bath, and add stylistic elements to the room without a lot of work. If you are on a tight decorating budget, or are just struggling with the bathroom, it is always safe to add a variety of houseplants to your bathroom. However, try to select plants that grow well in humid environments and that will do well in the type of lighting you have in your bathroom. If you are not sure, ask a local expert at a nursey.

4.Think simple, but beautiful. You can really dress up your bathroom by simply adding wall sconce on either side of your mirror, or using a framed mirror rather than one that is free. There are several small things you can do, such as using a fancy or decorative tie back for the shower curtain. The dcor you use can be functional as well as pleasing.

5.Last but not least, make sure that you utilize what you have. For example, if you keep q-tips in your bathroom, then find a decorative canister to hold them, and pair that canister with some art or a framed quote, etc. Think style aligned with function. Group smaller art, or phrases, or photos vertically in those small spaces of wall you have to work with. Use decorative shelving lined with canisters that hold your bathroom essentials, and never let yourself think that because it is a bathroom it can't be stylish.
