A private retreat where clothing is optional and sparkling freshwater flows on demand — is it a spa? A secret oasis?
Nope, it’s your bathroom.
Considering the average person spends about 1.5 years of their life here (yes, really), it’s clear the bathroom deserves some serious attention.
Let’s dive into the latest decorating tips and trends to transform your bathroom into a space worth celebrating.
Tip #1: Add greenery
Nature called. It’s suggesting a bathroom upgrade. Short on space? Hanging plants or vertical gardens are stylish, space-savvy ways to bring in some greenery.
Low-maintenance plants like aloe vera, snake plants, and pothos thrive in steamy bathroom conditions and add a breath of fresh air — literally. Adding plants isn’t just décor; it’s self-care. Once you see experience the wonder, you’ll want to find more ways to reap the benefits.
Tip #2: Let there be light
Bathroom lighting has two requirements: function and design. Functional lighting enhances makeup applications, helps avoid grooming mishaps, and brightens small spaces.
Statement fixtures like sculptural pendants or vintage-inspired sconces create a unique vibe for your space.
What’s trending
For longer lasting and more energy efficient lighting, use LED smart bulbs. Bonus tip: you’ll never wonder if you left the light on again with a smart home app to control power and brightness.
Tip #3: Choose mirrors that reflect your aesthetic
Well-placed mirrors make a room feel bigger. Experiment with various shapes, sizes and arrangements to match your design theme.
The traditional square or rectangle mirrors project a clean contemporary vibe, while round and oval options suggest subtle elegance. Wooden frames lean into rustic, farmhouse-style aesthetics, while metals complement more modern looks. Reflect your own style!
Tip #4: Invest in storage
Clutter is the ultimate bathroom enemy. Even the cleanest spaces look uninviting with accessories and products strewn about.
If storage solutions are visible, choose ones that add to the room’s aesthetic. Keep the practical items, like cleaning supplies, tucked away in the vanity cabinet or linen closet for a polished, clutter free look.
What’s trending
Open shelving, woven baskets, and vintage apothecary jars are popular ways to organise your bathroom essentials.
Tip #5: Update your hardware
Swapping out old faucets and cabinet knobs is an affordable way to give your bathroom a quick facelift — and simpler than it sounds. Think brushed nickel faucets, sleek door handles and a modern towel bar.
Tip #6: Repurpose old furniture
DIY your way to a better bathroom! Transform old furniture into something fresh and functional — a coat rack can hold towels, a vintage dresser makes for a standout vanity and a simple wood crate becomes versatile storage or a side table.
Tip #7: Make toilet paper part of the design
Using open shelving or baskets? Wrap your spare toilet paper rolls in tissue that matches your bathroom’s color palette to add a polished, protected touch.
If you’re familiar with Who Gives A Crap toilet paper, you’ll know our individually wrapped TP rolls already have the style built in. Bright colours and bold patterns make them ideal for stacking, shelving, or displaying. You’ll be getting compliments before anyone even reaches for a roll.
Tip #8: Raise your shower curtain
This one’s like a magic trick: hang your shower curtain rod as high as possible to create the illusion of taller ceilings and a more spacious bathroom. Presto!
Tip #9: Don’t overdo it on accessories
A clean, sophisticated toilet starts with thoughtful bathroom accessories. Skip the matchy sets and opt for pieces like a statement soap dispenser, a small tray, or a vase of fresh flowers for effortless elegance.
Tip #10: Include textured accents
Add warmth and dimension to your bathroom with textured accents. Think woven wastebaskets, ceramic soap dispensers, or a soft, fluffy rug. For a bigger project, consider textured wall treatments like recycled glass tiles or sustainable materials such as cork or bamboo to add depth and sophistication to your bathroom's design.
Tip #11: Find fresh color inspiration
Most bathrooms stick to a palette of whites and neutrals — but yours doesn’t have to! Add colour and character with a painted accent piece, peel and stick wallpaper or eye-catching artwork.
What’s trending
Earthy tones like sage green, terracotta, and dusty blue are having a moment. For an eco-friendly upgrade, opt for low-VOC or natural paints.
Conclusion: Buy toilet paper with shelf appeal!
Consider these easy decorating tips to make the bathroom into the sanctuary you deserve. Small things like better lighting, some greenery or a fresh coat of paint can make a big difference. Even better, many of these budget-friendly ideas use items you already have at home.
