We decorate the bathroom, how to do it yourself, useful tips

The bathroom is the very corner where you can wash off all the fuss at the end of the day and enjoy bubbling bubbles of water, plunging into a relaxing relaxation. Purifying water procedures will be doubly pleasant if you are surrounded by a comfortable environment: properly selected furniture, accessories, interior accessories and decorations.

How to decorate a bathroom

Cleanliness is the first decoration that equally fits all rooms. If you decide to change the bathroom, then first you need to clean. Get rid of empty tubes, wipe the mirror, clean the tile and the surface of the bathroom. Now look around, which design would you prefer? Perhaps you have long been idle for a toothbrush with a picture of green plants or a dispenser with a golden coating. Find exactly the object that you will take as the basis for the alteration.

  • Remember that the bathroom must find functional ornaments. If it is a heated towel rail, then it must have suitable shapes for placing towels or drying them. The laundry basket though has a suitable appearance, but should be chosen according to the size of the shower room.

For example, nickel-plated faucets and heated towel rails, a shower curtain or shower bolt in combination with a foot mat, accessories on shelves with a dispenser or a soap bar;
  • Minimalism - on the surface of the shelves, wash basin, let only the necessary items. It is not necessary to expose mountains of shampoos, gels, vials with creams. All at once you will not need them, and the accuracy will only spoil the order. Remove all unnecessary items in lockers or in hidden boxes;
