A small bathroom can feel cramped and closed in which doesn't create a very pleasant and relaxing environment for bathing. Why not decorate your small bathroom with touches of nature to give it a more spa like atmosphere? A few small changes can make your bathroom a more peaceful place to be and will hide the fact that your bathroom is small. Here's how to decorate a small bathroom with touches of nature's beauty:
Add Plants
Nothing makes a dark, cramped bathroom seem more tranquil than the addition of nature's greenery. Plus, studies have shown that green plants can help to promote air quality which is important for a small bathroom with poor ventilation. If your bathroom lacks sufficient light, choose plants that can flourish without large amounts of light such as bamboo which gives a bathroom a contemporary, spa-like atmosphere, ferns, orchids, or peace lilies. You can also add fluorescent bulbs to your bathroom to provide more light for your bathroom plants.
Add Seashells
Seashells added to a bathroom can add an element of peace and tranquility. Next time you're at the beach, collect the most beautiful seashells you can find. When you return home, purchase clear glass bowls. Fill them with a layer of sand followed by a layer of seashells. You can even do several layers of alternating sand and shells. Place these glass containers on the bathroom vanity as well as other strategic places in your bathroom. Seashells look best if your bathroom is painted a light color or if you have light colored wallpaper on your walls. Other ideas are to decorate the edges of your bathroom mirror with shells or glue seashells to ceramic bowls and use them to hold your bathroom necessities.
Add Candles
Select some light colored, scented candles that compliment the décor of your bathroom and place them on your vanity and in groups around your bathtub. Not only can you enjoy their beauty as décor items, you can also light them and turn an ordinary bath into a spa experience. If you have room, purchase a large, clear glass bowl. Fill it with water. Add some pretty floating candles for a natural decorative touch. Enjoy their sweet scent and subtle beauty.
Add Natural Soaps
To make your bathroom smell sweeter as well as improve the health of your skin, throw away your cheap soaps and go shopping for some decorative, all natural herbal soaps. Place them in pretty soap dishes and display them prominently in your bathroom. Soaps are not just for cleansing any more, they also help to relax you and can add an artistic touch to your bathroom.
Keep these ideas in mind when you go to decorate a small bathroom. Keep the colors light to open up the space and some of nature's touches to make it more peaceful and appealing. It'll be a great place to relax after a hard day.
