Design Tips For Your Master Bathroom

When you redecorate your master bedroom, don't leave the master bath out in the cold! You can add some zing to your bathroom too and create a cohesive theme between the two rooms that will give you a real sweet master suite.

One thing you need to do when redecorating your master bath is to be sure to tie in some of the elements from your bedroom. You don't have to make it an identical match, but using a common color or theme will really unite the two rooms. If your bedroom has a cottage theme, carry this over into the bathroom by putting out some shells in dishes on the vanity. If your bedroom is more shabby chic with big floral wallpaper, then think about carrying the color of the flowers into the master bath.

One of the big design elements in the bathroom is the hardware. Faucets and spigots, in addition to tubs and toilets are made in a variety of shapes and materials which can be the centerpiece of your design. Open showers are currently popular with the younger upwardly-
mobile crowd, and claw-foot bathtubs are almost always considered to be classic and
attractive. When selecting hardware and figuring out a floor plan, think about privacy issues and don't put the toilet and tub too close together.

Another big element in the bathroom is the tiling. The more expensive tiles
should have durability, aesthetic value, and a non-porous surface. Make sure your tiles can be easily cleaned and sanitized, and that it is easy to install and does not require special adhesives which can become costly. When choosing tile, think out of the box. You don't have to use only porcelain tile, consider marble, clay and anything else you see in the store that catches your eye.

Once you have the design down and selected the major elements, focus on decoration accessories to bring out personality and individualism. The bathroom doesn't have to just be functional and putting interesting items on the walls or shelves is a great way to give the room some character. Don't be afraid to use your own ideas and put what you want into the room when redecorating your master bathroom.

Easy Bathroom Decorating - Creating a Look That Will Please Your Eyes

A lot of us are always wanting to do some bathroom decorating, but don't really know where to start. We may have a bunch of ideas, but without a plan of attack they never seem to come to be. If you're in this predicament then don't feel bad because you're not alone.

At least you realize how important a bathroom is. There are a lot of people that never think twice about it and spend all their money on the kitchen or living room. The bathroom is used by everyone and should be one of the first places to go when thinking of decorating.

In this article, I am going to mainly talk about some tips and techniques for home improvement with a particular focus in bathroom decorating. Decorating your bathroom can be a fun and fulfilling experience. Whether it's the first time or a redecorating, finding the things the work best with your room can be very rewarding and give you a sense of pride.

In your bathroom the biggest design element is usually the bathtub or shower stall. A bathroom shower curtain provides an excellent opportunity to start a theme as a highlighted point in your room. You could think of your shower curtain as a canvas that will display your decorating concept and define the entire bathroom.

One of the best things you can do and is often what most bathroom decorating professionals will tell you is design your bathroom around your shower curtain. It is however a really good idea to know what it is you're after before you go out and purchase the curtain. It will be the difference between a bathroom you love or one you hate.

This should be the same for any room you decide to decorate whether it's the bathroom or not. Decorating around one piece is a fun way to go, but sometimes it would be more rewarding in the long run to find a bunch of things that would suit your whole room and then decorate around those.

In addition to shower curtains, there are a whole lot of other things you can use to decorate a bathroom. A Bathroom rug set, some counter decorations, and a whole host of decorative towels can add charming touches to any bathroom.

A good focal point to start with may very well be the shower curtain, but it will never make the room complete without accents that make it stand out and easy to enjoy. You'll find it much easier to find things that work great in your bathroom if you establish a theme beforehand.

Adding color to your theme is something that will also make it much easier to figure out what accents will work great. I know sometimes it can be difficult to choose a color. I find that for a bathroom use a light color like a light blue or green works great, but if that isn't your taste a simple black and white provides an elegant look.
