When redecorating your bathroom there are many different settings you need to keep in mind, and many different components you need to consider. The color scheme, overall feel, and the emotion your bathroom gives off are just the beginning. For example, do you want a clean sterile bathroom, a homey welcoming guest bathroom, or a cutely themed bathroom? You will have to decide on the overall theme before you can proceed any farther in the process. After you make this decision, there is one key piece of your bathroom that can either make or break your theme, the bathroom vanity.
Think about it, besides the toilet the number one thing people see when they enter the bathroom is the bathroom vanity. After using the restroom almost everyone stops to check their appearance in the mirror. Rather it is a female adjusting their makeup, or a male checking to see if his shirt is tucked in properly, the mirror is the center of attention in your bathroom.
Even public restrooms usually have bathroom vanity mirrors, even if they lack any presence besides tacky on the side of a cement wall. Obviously this is the feel you want for your own bathroom, but you can be sure that people will notice if you pick your mirror out in haste because this one wall hanging is either going to make or break the theme of your restroom.
If you want an impressive bathroom, you are going to have to start with the bathroom vanity. Bathrooms can be cheap and inexpensive to decorate since the bathroom furniture is most likely not going to need changing as the sink, toilet, and shower are usually going to stay fixed to the walls. Thus all you really need are a few accessories and a new layer of paint.
Therefore, there is only one expensive centerpiece to your bathroom décor that you actually need to think about for more than a minute, the bathroom vanity. This is going to require thought and consideration if you want your final product to be sleek and shiny. You can make the rest of your decorations out of this world, but if the visual focus does not sell your guests, then you have missed the mark.
For a sleek and fashionable bathroom, you are going to want to choice a nice gold or silver plated bathroom vanity depending on the color of your blinds/curtains and overall theme. Metals are nice in the bathroom because they typically are waterproof and clearly stand out against the stark white colors of a typical bathroom.
Bathrooms that are made with stainless steel fixtures look especially nice with the compliment of a silver bathroom vanity. In the same way, if your fixtures are a brassy color you might go with a gold plate. Whichever you choose, make sure that the metal fits into the general color scheme of the bathroom if you want to create a cohesive overall effect. With a little time and effort, you can have a bathroom that is just as impressive as the rest of your home.
