1. Add Functional Décor
If nothing else, a bathroom should be functional. It's likely where you start and end your days, and you need the space to work for you. One décor must-have is decorative wall hooks for hanging towels, washcloths, robes and more. Choose from single hooks or decorative wall accents with multiple hooks depending on how much real estate you have available on your walls.
2. Make Your Walls Pop With an Accent Wall
This idea isn't limited to large primary bathrooms. You can use accent walls in half-baths and guest bathrooms to make a big statement. Consider accenting the wall behind your vanity or around the shower. This whimsical fox and hare wallpaper by Magnolia Home instantly adds visual interest to the walls. Choose from a variety of wallpapers safe for use in bathrooms including beautiful florals, bold geometric patterns, classic stripes and more.
3. Hang Decorative Shelving
Bath wall ideas don't have to be out of the box. Go for a classic option like shelving. Shelves can be both functional and stylish. Use them to store washcloths and extra toilet paper as well as plants, artwork, candles and other small décor.
4. Decorate With Plants
House plants make a welcome addition to any room but they can be especially practical (and stylish) in a bathroom. Choose plants that thrive in moist conditions like ferns, pothos and snake plants. Display plants in decorative pots on the vanity if you have the space. If not, you can hang them to create a statement-making living wall.
Some live plants are toxic. If you have pets or children, be sure to choose nontoxic plants or place them out of reach.
5. Transform the Walls With Art
One of the easiest bath wall ideas is to hang art. Choose one oversized piece or consider adding a gallery wall. As long as you have a little wall space, you have room to create a more artistic bathroom.
6. Replace Your Bathroom Mirror
A new bathroom mirror can instantly update the look and feel of your space. Choose from sleek, modern styles or traditional options with beveled edges.
