What you Need to Know when Choosing Bathroom Decorations

Bathrooms are perhaps the second most used rooms in any house. For this reason it is important you ensure they are looking warm and welcoming at any given time. Bathroom decorations are the best way to ensure that your bathroom has that warm and welcoming feel. Since there are many available types of bathroom decor, you might have it rough when choosing the right decor. That's why it is important you take the following into consideration:

Available Space

More often than not, space will be the limiting factor. The space includes the floor space and the height, the space between the ceiling and the floor. High ceilings will go well with hanging lamps. This will not only utilize the vast space available but it will also ensure that the room is properly lit. If the floor space is large enough, then you can adopt a luxurious theme which might look squeezed in a small bathroom. Likewise, a small bathroom will go well with a simple layout as compared to a luxurious layout. The space available will also determine the size and number of accessories you can have.

Cost

Bathroom decorations are quite expensive and it is highly recommended that you have a budget to avoid overspending. After drafting a budget, make sure you arrange the items in order of preference. Accessories such as taps, bath tubs, mirrors, sinks, showers and mirrors should be a priority. Buy the accessories to match the theme of the room. You don't want to have a metallic bath tub and a ceramic sink. The best accessories are the one that fit well, matches the theme and last longer.

Color

Bathroom coloring is very important. You should not have a dull color as your bathroom color unless it is unavoidable. Remember the bathroom color you choose should blend with the bathroom decorations and it is highly recommended that you choose a bathroom color after buying/window shopping the accessories you want to fit. Most people choose white as their bathroom color since most accessories are available in white. Bathroom tiles are also part of the coloring and so it is important that the wall color and tile color blends.

Accessories

After installing the 'compulsory' accessories, you may now install the 'not so necessary' stuff. Cabinets, soap dishes and towel racks should always come last. This is because they are flexible and easy to fix. Such accessories are the best way to utilize the free space left in the bathroom but you should however use them sparingly to avoid them becoming a cliche. Fit cabinets at considerable heights to ensure ease of access by everyone. If the bathroom is the only bathroom, ensure you consider disabled persons when planning the layout.

Also, when planning it is highly recommended you consult future users of the facilities if they are available and if not consult an interior designer. This will avoid the need to re-design the bathroom again. Remember to choose bathroom decorations that require zero or minimum maintenance and you should always keep your bathroom clean. No matter how you have designed it, a dirty bathroom will always look gross.
