37 Ways to Elevate Your Bathroom Aesthetic: Simple Tips for a Stylish Space
If you’re anything like us and basically everyone who wants to renovate their bathroom, you’re likely struggling with what to do exactly. Here’s the thing. There really isn’t much to do if you are just looking for a basic update. But if you’re looking to take things to the next level, here are 37 ways you can update your bathroom aesthetic:
1. Statement Mirror
Everyone who comes into your bathroom is going to obviously look into your mirror so make sure that it is a statement piece.
2. Luxurious Towels
If you want to give off a hotel vibe in your bathroom, keep a ton of fresh white towels that look like luxury in a bottle.
3. Greenery
Most bathrooms lack the much-needed pop of color to brighten up the space. We love when there are a ton of greenery in the bathroom as it can literally brighten up the entire space.
4. Stylish Storage
If you’ve got quite a bit of room to work with, we recommend getting a storage cupboard for your bathroom supplies.
5. Artwork
It’s never a bad idea to hang a gorgeous artwork over your bathroom that can literally grab everyone’s attention.
6. Sleek Hardware
If you’re going for a more industrial look, you should for sure replace out all the faucets and showerheads.
7. Coordinated Accessories
Most people are super coordinated with the rest of the house but not the bathroom. Your bathroom supplies need to look like they go together by either having matching colors, textures, or actually both.
8. Accent Wall
Most people only stick to an accent wall in the bedroom. What is stopping you from doing it in the bathroom too?
9. Soft Lighting
We absolutely hate white lights in the bathroom. There’s nothing better you can do for this space than by getting warm lights that will for sure set the mood.
10. Candles
If you’re looking for more of a cozy feel with your bathroom, get a bunch of scented candles and light them up.
11. Freestanding Bathtub
If you are a vintage gal like me, you should think about getting a freestanding bathtub and base the entire aesthetic of the bathroom accordingly.
12. Underfloor Heating
We are totally inspired by Japanese bathrooms which have underfloor heating. This is the perfect way to keep yourself warm if you live in a colder climate.
13. Rainfall Showerhead
If we were to ever renovate my bathroom, my very first thing on the list would be to get a rainfall showerhead.
14. Floating Vanity
If you’ve got a small bathroom like me, you should for sure get a floating vanity to give yourself more space.
15. Glass Shower Enclosure
If you want your bathroom to feel more open and modern, a glass shower is your best friend and don’t let go.
16. Freestanding Shelving
If you’ve got a lot of people using the same bathroom, there’s nothing we rec more than floating shelves to toss everything on. You can actually save a ton of space this way.
17. Patterned Tiles
I can’t help myself. I always come back to my vintage ways. Pattern tiles are to die for if you’re into vintage like me.
18. Aromatherapy Diffuser
Here’s some advice from one cat parent to another. If you’ve kept the litter box in the bathroom, you should for sure get some aroma diffusers to safe your noses when you enter the bathroom.
19. Decorative Hooks
Every bathroom needs some hooks to hang clothing and towels. Most hooks look like they’ve aged quite a bit. In fact, most bathrooms don’t even have that many hooks. You should get some decorative ones that really match the rest of the aesthetic.
20. Accent Rug
Most people would absolutely die if they hear that you have a rug in the bathroom. I mean, why ruin it with water? Here’s the thing, natural rug like bamboo actually enjoy the water and it can soak up and dry pretty well.
21. Natural Materials
If you’re someone who has the budget and is a total believer in healing crystals and stones, you should for sure make your entire bathroom out of one that meets your energy.
22. Open Shelving
Open shelving is actually your best friend for bathrooms that are shared by a whole family.
23. Freestanding Mirror
Who would’ve thought that you can actually have a full-size mirror in the bathroom? In fact, you’d thank us later for this decision. Wink, wink!
24. Smart Storage Solutions
Most people store their medicines in the bathroom. If you’re a walking pharmacy like me, chances are you need quite a bit of storage space for your pills.
25. Metallic Accents
If you want your bathroom to look super glam ready, there’s nothing better to do than add gold and silver metal accents.
26. Integrated Speakers
I love to have a good listen to my playlist when I’m in the shower. There’s nothing that sets the mood better than having some waterproof speakers in there with you for the jam.
27. Towel Warmer
We are total summer people and would absolutely die if we had to bear even a bit of cold. If you’re anything like us, a towel warmer is your best friend.
28. Natural Light
You must let in all the natural light possible by having huge privacy windows and skylights.
29. Dual Vanities
If you have the space and the budget, you should for sure add more than one vanity space in the bathroom. This can save you time in the bathroom when everyone is getting ready for work or school in the morning.
30. Waterfall Faucet
We’ve all heard of a rainfall showerhead, but have you actually heard of the waterfall facet? This can totally take your vanity game to the next level.
31. Tile Accent Wall
Never shy away from going a dark color with your accent wall in the bathroom. Most people think it would shorten up the space. However, it totally brightens it up quite more.
32. Built-In Niches
If you’re completing renovating the walls of your bathroom, we would absolutely love it if you break the wall in a lil bit to store your shower products near your shower or tub.
33. Trendy Wallpaper
If you’re all about the drama, there’s nothing that would bring out your personality more than a wallpaper that screams OMG. You need to make an impression that would stay in everyone’s minds forever.
34. Heated Towel Rack
Similar to a towel warmer, you should think about having a heated towel rack. This can for sure keep your towel warm for you while you’re getting ready on a cold winter morning.
35. Spa Accessories
Two words: Bath Bombs! If you’re going for the ultimate spa experience, we would love it if you use bath bombs too.
36. Custom Vanity Lighting
If you’re really into taking your sweet time getting ready in the morning, you should for sure invest in some custom vanity lighting. This can take your makeup routine to a level that would leave everyone’s jaws on the floor.
37. Personal Touches
Last but not least, personality is key! If you want people to remember your bathroom, it must obviously look like your bathroom. Hang up some funny photos of your furry friends or even an artwork that you literally made yourself.
