Bathroom decor ideas that will pamper you like never before

It might be the smallest room in the house, but that does not mean that its décor does not need inspiration. A dated bathroom décor does not make for an invigorating bath and can in fact act as a mood spoiler leaving you feeling even more tired and jaded than before. It takes only a few design choices to transform your small bathroom into an oasis of beauty and tranquillity. Forget replacing expensive hardware, updating your bath products and including a few modern bath accessories can do the trick far more effectively and without emptying your bank balance.

The first rule of bathroom accessorizing is to remove the clutter. A cluttered bathroom can be a big turn off making the act of taking a bath itself seems like torture. Bring order to the chaos by adding bath and storage solutions that themselves feature as pieces of bathroom décor.

Updating your bathroom is incomplete without paying attention to bath towels and linens. They are the first bath product to draw attention, also because they happen to be the most frequently used. Instead of random towels, add complete bathroom sets of hand and bath towels, if possible add small makeup towels as well and display them stylishly on a wicker tray on the vanity. Why should you need to go to a hotel to get the feeling of being pampered? Stacking beautifully rolled pristine white towels in your bathroom, either in wire baskets or drawers can play delightfully on your senses.

Modern bath accessories have made the task of decorating the bathroom so much easier. Add a beautiful collection of soaps, from unscented to scented ones in a glass canister and you have created a vignette corner that can give your bathroom a spa like essence. If you have the space, go for an all out spa look and feel by adding vignettes like bath salts, sea shell soaps and stylishly bottled perfumes, lotions and serums. Go the whole hog and add scented candles and diffusers to give your bathroom a Zen like vibe.

Your vanity is the first thing that draws the eye upon entering the bathroom, which is why adding even one accent piece like a gorgeous marble soap dispenser can uplift the entire décor. You can even think of adding a blended set that includes toothbrush holder and soap dispenser for a further touch of elegance. Modern soap dispensers are available in a variety of materials, shapes and designs like the classically elegant Rattan or the moulded glass soap dispensers to make the task of decorating that much easier.

Bathroom Mats are another element of bathroom that combines functionality with décor. A good design choice is to pick out a shower curtain and mat in the same design and colour to give your bathroom a coordinated elegant look. Vinyl mats and shower curtains are a good choice for both decorating and safety; they prevent slippages and are available in lots of beautiful designs to go with any bathroom look.

Another fairly new addition to modern bathroom accessories is the bathtub tray. It is just the thing you need while pampering yourself with a luxurious tub bath. Adding a bamboo or teak bathtub tray makes it a convenient place holder for not only toiletries but also a glass of wine, candles and even a book.
