Accessorise your bathroom
Bathrooms are usually the smallest rooms in the house but the clever use of accessories can really uplift the whole design of the room.
Purchase some decorative glass bottles, or consider the safety aspect and use plastic ones if you have children around, and pour all your various shampoos, shower and bath lotions into them. Everything will then look neat, tidy and uniform. Glass is best because of the way it shines in the bathroom but there are some very attractive looking acrylics also available.
A set of matching towels will look stylish hung up in your bathroom, but you can also use them to help dress the room. Fold one and hang it over the towel rail, or keep a stack of towels on bathroom shelves, but make sure you fold and roll them as they do in beauty salons for maximum effect.
A mirror does need to be functional and practical to be placed in a bathroom, but look for something with an unusual frame or shape that can be used for display. Place a large mirror in a strategic position and see how it changes the light reflections and even the perceived proportions of the room.
Bathroom cabinets need to be practical but they do not have to be boring. A well designed, stylish cabinet can add that special something to the room but make sure that it will fit where you want it to go before purchase.
Coloured or plain white candles can give a restful and inexpensive finishing touch to any bathroom. Choose colours that pull everything else together in the room. Contemporary bathroom designs are easy to achieve with the right accessories.
