Crystal Clear Bathroom
Decorating Ideas
The bathroom is a necessary room
in the house but it should be more than functional. I like to have a big
bathroom that I can relax in. The ambience must be chilled and the bathroom
decorating ideas should reflect that.
It's the room in the house that you can escape to. You can
pamper yourself with a long soak in the tub by the light of some
scented candles. That's the perfect end to my day.
I hate
a bathroom, or any other room for that matter, that's cluttered. It must be
tidy and spacious. A sunken tub would be nice and one of those shower units
that have a skylight above them. It gives the illusion that you're showering
in fresh rain. Bathroom decorating ideas must pay attention to color. I like
soft, neutral colors in the bathroom. I don't want anything
bright giving me a migraine in the mornings. I'm not very good
in the mornings. I need a dark green, subtle lemon shade or
terracotta.
The bathroom fittings must be modern and
shiny. I don't want to pretend I'm in some Victorian parlor room. Some leafy
plants would be nice. Bathroom decorating ideas for the 21st century
should be minimalist with a complete ban on any corny motifs.
Fish, boats and seashells are out. If I want that sort of thing,
I'll go to the beach. Brass fittings would be ok as long as
they're not too ornate.
The bathroom must be easy to
clean. No rugs or fancy drapes. The walls must be fully tiled, with maybe
one wall fitted with mirror tiles. I'm not vain, it just gives a sense of
space! I know all these home make over shows are obsessed with stencils.
These don't fit in with my bathroom decorating ideas. I want
plain tiles as God intended them.
Speaking of make over
shows, some of them have inspirational ideas including inventive bathroom
decorating ideas. However,
others are barking mad. I saw one the other day that featured
the apartment of a young, trendy couple who had designed the
whole place. Admittedly, the apartment was gorgeous and very
tastefully decorated. It was the bathroom facilities that were
weird. This couple didn't like walls and the entire apartment
was open plan. Their bath tub was extra large so it could
comfortably fit the two of them in, and it was sitting there in
the apartment for all to see. Even more bizarrely, the toilet was on the
other side of the master bedroom, behind a wall but a very thin, see thru
glass one. The husband explained that this unusual state of affairs was
because he wanted to continue his conversation when his wife was taking a
call of nature. Bathroom decorating ideas with a hint of eccentricity.
