65 Simple Decorating Ideas for Bathrooms of All Sizes

From wall art to durable rugs and everything in between.

August Oliver

Bathrooms are meant to make a design statement. If your space is far from picture-perfect, it's time to start considering bathroom decorating ideas. Believe it or not, it's possible to give your bathroom an entirely new look without a gut renovation. Beyond a fresh coat of paint or installing patterned wallpaper, you can easily introduce expressive artwork, brilliant storage solutions and other chic decorative accents, like rugs, to make your bathroom feel cozier and look more design forward. There's even room to put a few interior design trends to the test if you're ready to step outside of your comfort zone.

To kick off your much-needed refresh (even if you're working with a small space), we've rounded up a wide range of bathroom design ideas. Here, you'll find budget-friendly DIYs, trendy decor pointers you might have spotted on Pinterest (a suspended shelf, for instance) and much, much more. And of course, there's no shortage of ideas when it comes to color palettes, cabinet hardware, you name it. Click through to get one step closer to designing the bathroom of your dreams.

Suspended Shelf

A traditional bathroom vanity isn't the only way to go, especially if you have a small space. Simply suspend a compact wooden shelf on the wall above your sink and style it with your favorite decorative accents. Achieve a cohesive look by installing a wire storage basket on a wall nearby for hand towels.

Warm Pink

Think pink for an inviting place to get ready each morning. "Perhaps one of my favorite warm paint colors is a hue that dances right between blush and nude," says Decorist designer Erika Dale. "This color is perfect for a bedroom, dressing room, or bathroom. There is a reason every Hollywood starlet is lit with soft pink light… it is so flattering!"

Cool Blue

Try the other side of the color wheel if you want a space more suited for unwinding, like this powder blue cabinetry. "Cool colors bring to mind water and the sky and therefore a create a more calming, focused, relaxed, restful, soothing, and refreshing feeling," Dale says.

Glam Mirrors

Changing your looking glass also changes the room. If you have a plain mirror now, go for a little glam, or vice versa. Or just add a sleek smart countertop makeup mirror, like Simple-human's Sensor Mirror, to see yourself in your best light.

Fresh Paint

A simple coat in a fresh shade can make the bathroom feel new. Use your existing decor as a color guide, but if resale is important, stick with a crisp white like Benjamin Moore's Simply White. Always look for a mold- and mildew-resistant formula that stands up to humid conditions.

Polished Fixtures

Give your vanity personality by dressing up the sink with a new faucet. Stylish options include polished chrome or copper, brushed nickel or bronze, and even brass or matte black. If you don't want to replace the counter or sink too, make sure to measure the existing holes and match them.
