There are a number of important things to remember when beginning a bathroom improvement project, and all of these suggestions will keep your bathroom from becoming offensive to the eye.

Space is a huge consideration when redecorating a bathroom. If the room is particularly small, you won\’t want to paint the walls with a dark color. Selecting black, grey, brown, dark blue, or any other dark colors will make the bathroom appear smaller than it actually is. Instead, choose paint in a light color and do the trim with your favorite dark colors.

While some extra touches make a bathroom look very nice, you won\’t want to clutter up the possibly limited space you have. For instance, a large plant might seem like a cool idea for decorating the bathroom, but it will actually make the room look untidy. Instead, select a glass vase and a couple of brightly-colored artificial flowers. Choose something that is simple in design for ease of cleaning later.

While we\’re on the subject of clutter, don\’t let yours build up on counters or in windowsills. Inexpensive organizers can eliminate bathroom clutter in a jiffy, and you\’ll wonder how you ever lived without one. Choose a space saver that meets your organizational needs while fitting stylistically with the rest of the bathroom decor. Don\’t miss an opportunity to accentuate your bathroom with an attractive and functional piece.

Patterns are a wonderful tool to use when decorating any room in your home, but too much of a particular pattern can quickly becomes irksome. Imagine that you adore watermelon so much that you choose to decorate your entire bathroom with red, green, and black watermelon prints; no matter how much you love the watermelon print covering every surface, the first visitor to that bathroom is going to be quickly overwhelmed. Watermelon, or any other print in the bathroom, is best used as accents.

Function and style can meet in the form of bathroom accents like rugs, toothbrush holders, toilet cozies, and anything else you may wish to add. It\’s a good idea to avoid light colored floor or bowl coverings in the bathroom if you have children, pets, or are a messy person. Choosing darker colored rugs will hide everyday dirt, dust, and stains. It\’s possible to brighten a bathroom using rugs in primary colors, like red, and still have the color stand up to dirt. Toothbrush holders, soap dishes, and other small bathroom items come in a variety of colors, styles, and patterns. To choose the one that best fits your bathroom, buy these after the rest of the redecorating is complete.

Redecorating any room in your home is an opportunity to show your personal style, but it\’s important to remember to balance those bright colors and patterns that you like best with neutral hues and appropriate accessories. Putting together a new look for your bathroom is never easy, but as long as you remember to not use ridiculously loud colors and busy patterns, you\’ll be able create a gorgeous new bathroom.
