Even if you have a tiny bathroom, you can still add some trendy decor. Combine style and function by adding a towel rack in the form of a white-washed wooden ladder. It can hold hand towels, bathrobes and dirty laundry, not to mention hanging plant pots, toothbrush holders, serums, hair brushes and more.
Yep, it’s as useful as it is stylish.
Or, if you’d prefer a more traditional rustic wood style, try this option with a built-in laundry basket, too.
While you can definitely go the hard-core DIY route and actually install ceramic tiles in your bathroom, we’re all about easy decor solutions.
And these peel-and-stick wallpaper tiles fit the bill perfectly!
These eye-catching stickers are heat, water and moisture resistant and can be easily applied and removed.
They’re not recommended for use outdoors, inside a shower or behind a gas stove (if you’re looking to decorate your kitchen as well), but they’d make a fabulous and fuss-free backsplash or accent wall in your bathroom.
If you’re not a fan of the colourful Moroccan look, you can try these fun aquamarine mermaid-scale-esque stick-on tiles or these classic subway-inspired stick-on options — with colours including white, blue, red and white marble for that ultra-luxe bathroom look.
Add texture to your bathroom with a trendy rattan light fixture.
This one comes in a light, natural bamboo finish with an LED bulb attached. It’s an easy install as well — simply fit it into your existing ceiling light socket.
For those of us going for a more elegant or romantic look, we suggest trying out this three-lamp chandelier. It makes for a stunning focal point in the room without overpowering any of your other decor.
We love the contemporary nature-inspired bathroom theme, as you can see with this bamboo bath mat. It’s a great option for both neutral decor and more unique settings, not to mention it dries quickly and can be stored on its end if you have a small bathroom and need the space.
In past years, customers have reported unsightly black marks appearing on their John Lewis bamboo mats, and John Lewis has responded accordingly: Now each mat is coated in water-resistant rubber.
But if you’d rather stick with a traditional textile mat, we think this giant bobble mat (three colour options) is a great choice for bathrooms with modern decor. Alternatively, this sage green leaf mat keeps nature at the heart of your bathroom design, and this adorable goose and friends option would be perfect for children.
Wondering how to create a luxury bathroom on a budget? The answer may be as easy as swapping out your bathroom accessories — towel bars, drawer pulls, soap dispensers etc — for an all-new set in a matching finish. Matte black is having a moment, but you could also opt for cast iron or metallic accents.
If you do opt for the matte black, you can keep the look going by adding this wall-mounted mirror. It’s got a sleek, classy look and has a built-in shelf for extra storage space.
When in doubt, a classic way to spruce up a room is by giving it a new paint job.
Whether you go for the entire room, an accent wall or opt to paint the furnishings instead of the walls, this moisture-proof, durable and self-priming paint is a great choice. And pink is in for warm, welcoming bathroom colour schemes.
If you’re wondering what colours make a small bathroom look bigger, the answer is simple: light ones.
A white bathroom will make your space feel much larger than it actually is, while other light colours will have a similar effect — like our pink pick and this lovely light grey-blue colour.
Dark colours will instead make your room feel smaller — great if you’re going for a more cosy feel. For a bathroom, we love this moisture-proof paint in The Drink, a deep blue colour with green undertones.
You definitely don’t have to follow these bathroom decor ideas in order.
If you’re in search of decor ideas for your bathroom wall, try adding some tile or paint.
Ready to adopt a more unique bathroom theme? Swapping out your lights can make a big difference, fast.
And if you’ve got a small space to work with, we think adding a storage ladder is a totally chic way to incorporate function and style into your bathroom.
