BASIC RENO UNDER $500
Now to the fun part of the basic bathroom decorating ideas plan. After the painting is done, there are a number of options to play with.
New hardware is an easy effective renewal. Coordinate, not necessarily ‘match’, metal tones with the faucets and lighting fixtures.
TOWELS
Decorating with towels, is not effective interior design. It is in one word ...tacky! What I mean is 'decorative' towels. Instead, use lush thick towels for best emotive effect to add a spa-like essence. Egyptian cotton of course is wonderful. Stack on shelves or arrange creatively in baskets, etc.
Authenticity in living is ensuring towels are fully functional – not merely for decorating purposes – unless you are staging.
Bathroom Decorating Ideas - Theme
It’s likely that long before you began you had a theme in mind. Choose one to fit your personal bathroom fashion. Seaside themes popularly suggest fresh, clean sea air, washed ocean beaches and seascapes.
Be inventive and authentic as you redecorate. Try to avoid the obvious. Suggest a feel or theme. Instead of blatantly hanging a seashells shower curtain, consider seaside colors, real or faux shiplap siding, louvered doors, thirsty textures, a bowl of real shells, a sandpiper carving or seascape.
You may love dragonfly bathroom décor, an Oriental theme, or simply a color theme, each effective. Think of what you wish to experience in your bathroom and how to tastefully set it up.
Small Bathroom Decorating Ideas
1) Unless you have very good lighting, keep the paint color light, bright, airy. Blend towel and accessory colors with the wall color.
2) Use Mirrors to create the illusion of more space.
3) Go up the walls – Accentuating wall height also creates ‘space’. Create a galleria that reaches up high. Hang a large vertically oriented mirror. Stacked art – several pieces racking up one above the other.
4) If you need more storage, mount shelves that are up high – store extra towels and decorative items there. Bathroom wall space is often wasted – this is a great way to use it.
5) Consider painting the ceiling the same color as the walls or slightly lighter.

A Relaxing Bath Treat to Enjoy!
These terrific soaks are Personal Favorites that ease away all the stress of the day - and you may have the ingredients in your kitchen. If not they're easily available.
1) Dissolve into your tub 1/2 to 1 cup each of sea salt & epsom salt. You may add something bubbly if you wish.
2) To the above salts 1 cup of apple cider vinegar may be added. I don't know why this works, but it is marvelous!
Light some candles!
Soak for about 20 minutes. The salts replenish your body minerals & relax you. They also draw out toxins & water, so drink water & relax. Ahhhhh..
A tip - I use the salts frequently and found 25K (55lb) bags of Epsom which is magnesium sulphate (used for roses) at a garden supply store. Always on hand - and very economical!
