Perhaps the most forgotten room in a home when it comes to styling, is the bathroom. Even though it is a room we spend multiple times in throughout a day. Styling a bathroom does not need to be difficult and small changes can really make an impact to how you feel in the morning or just before bedtime.
Here are my best tips to make your bathroom dreamy and give a luxurious feel.
1. Start with keeping it clean
Before you can do anything to a bathroom, you need to keep it clean and tidy. To be able to do this, it’s important to creating good habits of tidying and cleaning. Always remove all clothes from the bathroom straight away and make sure that you can tidy away all the items after you have used them. Make sure that they go into a cupboard or a draw where visitors can’t see them. Make it a habit that the bathroom is cleaned once a week. Even if you just have time for the sink and the toilet.
2. Arranging the vanity
Try to add some natural elements to the tray, like a small plant of flowers or a piece of coral. You can also play with different shapes, heights and the scale of items. The key is to make the tray look more dynamic to the eye.
3. Styling the bath tray
If you have a bathtub adding a bath tray is a brilliant way to bring some magic to the bathroom. A bath tray is a great way to advocate for a self-care ritual. It’s up to you what you want to add on a bath tray, my recommendation would be some bath salt, a candle and some body brushes, you can even add a good and relaxing “bath table” book.
4. Style a bathroom stool
If you don’t have a bathtub, you can always try adding a small stool to the bathroom and decorate it. For example, try adding a soft towel over the back of the stool, some books and a candle on top. It’s a brilliant way to bring more character into a bathroom that perhaps is lacking decoration.
5. Keep it clean and minimal
If you have shampoo and conditioners in your shower or bath, try to avoid labels and glossy bottles. Move the shampoo and the conditioners over in minimalistic containers instead. This will make the bathroom look more clean and calm.
Make sure also that you limit the amount of colours to add in your decor. My recommendation is to use mostly natural colours or pastel colours since they are most calming and relaxing.
6. Luxurious towels
A great way to make a bathroom look amazing, is to add luxurious towels – they will make the room look immediately softer. Try to fold them in a three way so you don’t see the ends. If you have a bathroom for guests, add small towels in a stack near the sink and a towel basket on the floor under. This is a great way to bring in that five star hotel vibes.
7. Adding nature
As mentioned before, natural items work really well in a bathroom. Especially items from nature. A great way to do this is to add some green plants to the room, both real or faux. If you have a corner near to the shower, add a couple of big green branches. This is a brilliant way to get that outdoor feeling, which works well since it can remind us of a beach shower or rain in nature.
