There was a time when the bathroom wasn't a place that required much decoration; why shouldn't people have a pleasant bathroom to relax in. Think about it, we all spend a good bit of time washing and freshening up every day, so why not use a few bathroom decoration ideas to spice this room up a bit and make it a more appealing place to hang out. Gone are the days when a bath or shower was a rushed affair; we all want to enjoy the experience so why not do this in a pleasant surrounding.
As a bonus, your bathroom decorating ideas can really be used to impress your friends and neighbors, they will know when they see how you have implemented your designs that you care about your home. There isn't much point in spending thousands of dollars making other rooms pleasant to live in if you are going to leave your bathroom in a state of poor decoration.
If you are stuck for bathroom decorating ideas then why not use some that you have used elsewhere in your home and when you think about it this makes perfect sense. For example, if a nice low table looks good in the hallway, it will look positively elegant in the bathroom. This can be equally effective, and more relaxing, if you place plants on them and will look perfectly in place as they are seen elsewhere in the house.
If your designs work well and are different to the rest of your home, then why not use them around the house in other rooms. Why not take that colorful tile that you have used around the hand wash basin into the kitchen for instance.
This can give the home a feel of continuity without making every room feel the same and there are also cost benefits to this as you can spruce up a tired looking room with a few simple techniques that won't cost the earth. Whilst it is the tiling aspect that tends to dominate kitchens and bathrooms, there are many other bathroom decorating ideas that can be used.
If you look at something like a soap dish or tray for example; this is used constantly but very few people take any notice as they are normally quite bland objects. Some home decoration periodicals have sections on making items for you home including soap dishes and trays.
In fact, a number of magazines have illustrated how to make a soap tray or dish out of common clay. Decoration that does not cost a great is always popular so using pleasing prints or photos at strategic places can be effective without any effect on your bank balance. With the materials and information available today, there is no excuse not to turn your bathroom into something very special.

Help Grand Piano decorating issue
By: wire58 | 14-07-2008
I have a full grand piano in a small formal living room. The room is completely open to the left as you enter the home. On one wall is a full bank of oversized windows (facing south), the shorter wall backing to the entry way has a large antique buffet with marble top and huge oil painting above it. The longer wall opposite has a faux fireplace and antique mantle. I presently have two formal chairs in front of the window. I am wondering if anyone has another idea.....chairs are becoming faded and am considering completely removing them to give the room more space. BUT, would the room look odd even though the grand piano is the focal point. Thanks!!!!
