The bathroom is very often the poor stepchild of house decor. Many times, it is the last room to receive any attention. Here are some bathroom decor ideas that might change that.

There are many reasons why a bathroom should be one of the first rooms in a home to reach its full decorative potential. The bathroom is most likely the smallest room in the home. This means that certain projects such as painting and wall papering can be done in the bathroom first and on a much smaller scale than in the larger rooms. This means you can gain some valuable experience without a major cash investment. If you are not satisfied with the project, not as much time and money is lost. Bathroom decor ideas are usually very easy to come by and inexpensive to implement.

Since the bathroom is a smaller room, it is very important to settle on a theme or motif. Once this is done, it is not too difficult to stick to the theme. The first and most important concept is color. Light and pastel colors are very popular in bathrooms because they are considered soothing and relaxing. If light colors are used on the walls, it is a good idea to contrast these colors with a darker color used for the accessories. The accessories that can contrast the overall wall colors are the toilet covers, a throw rug, and the color of the towels.

These accessories are usually sold in sets. A visit to a good department store can yield a plethora of ideas on color coordination. In many cases, other bathroom accessories such as soap dishes, trash cans and toothbrush holders are all matched to the central decor theme and color. The selection of the proper accessories can be the starting point for the entire decor concept.

An example of this in a recent bathroom renovation project occurred when the homeowners found a very classical and Roman looking set at a local department store. The set consisted simply of a trash can that resembled an ancient vase and soap dishes and toothbrush holders that resembled a Roman fountain. The accessory package was inexpensive, but it provided an idea to redo the entire bathroom with a Roman bath decor.

It was really an easy matter to complete the project once this central theme was established. The floor was redone in patterned tiles. A wallpaper border was put around the upper wall featuring a classical Roman motif of dancing satyrs. The wall mirror was framed in a very antique looking classic frame. When the project was complete, the bathroom had a very Roman look to it and it all started from the purchase of a simple accessory set.
