Take a look at your bathroom and ask what you want to change about it most. Maybe all it needs is a color transformation or an updated vanity. Either way, assessing what you want to change and why is always a good idea. With a clear plan of action, you can begin the process of your bathroom transformation.
Whether you want to add a modern bathroom sink or update the decorative elements of your bathroom, these inspiring ideas will help guide you. Discovering ways to beautify your bathroom space can help transform your home.
Below, you’ll discover some beautiful bathroom decorating ideas. And hopefully, you’ll find inspiration to begin your bathroom transformation.
1 – Adding Pops Of Green
When it comes to affordable bathroom decor ideas, adding plants and pops of great is easy and inexpensive. We love the way this homeowner added air plants to the wall decor.
They also added pops of green to the top of the vanity and wall ledge. It’s the perfect way to add beautiful bathroom decor without spending a fortune. They also added geometric shapes that pull your eyes up and around the room.
Try adding artificial succulent plants to your bathroom. You’ll see beautiful pops of green at affordable prices, too. Plus, they add depth and dimension to your bathroom, and because they don’t require much maintenance, they offer an easy upgrade idea.
2 – Adding The Perfect Area Rug
Finding the perfect area rug is essential when decorating your bathroom. It seals the deal in design elements and pulls everything together. In the bathroom below, the carpet they used fits perfectly into the medium-sized bath.
Don’t be afraid to add color to your bathroom with area rugs. You can choose a complementary color or add a bold pop of color instead. If you want to play it safe, you can always choose a neutral or go with this stunning 2-piece bathroom set in gray.
3 – Create An Illusion With Glass
It doesn’t matter what size your bathroom is. Using glass elements is the perfect way to make it look and feel larger and create an elegant decor statement. Adding mirrors will not only make your bathroom appear larger but also add more light to it.
Also, don’t feel stuck decorating with the same style. Instead, branch out and try adding statement pieces instead. For example, these baroque-style framed mirrors will be the focal point of your bathroom. Now, you can have both function and style by quickly adding a set of mirrors!
Alternatively, you can add a Wall Mounted LED Bathroom Mirror instead. This is the way to go if you want a more modern look and add copious amounts of light to your bathroom!
4 – Use Lighting As A Decor Element
Often forgotten, bathroom lighting is crucial when searching for decorating ideas. Add an LED Strip Lighting Kit to the bottom of your bathroom mirrors! What a great idea, and it’s a DIY project you can easily do yourself!
5 – Paint Your Bathroom Vanity
You can quickly transform your bathroom vanity with a can of paint! Often, the transformation is all you need to perk up your space. Plus, it’s a much more affordable option too.
White paint is always a safe choice, but adding pops of color to your bathroom decor is always fun and exciting. If you love a white vanity, try using White Linen Chalk Paint by Rust-oleum. The coverage is spectacular, and it will brighten your bathroom too.
If you love pops of color, try Rust-oleum Serenity Blue or Farmhouse Red. Its low-odor, latex formula allows easy clean-up with soap & water and is perfect for any furniture makeover. It also dries to an ultra-matte, velvety, smooth finish.
6 – Bathroom Wall Decor
Don’t just hang a picture on your bathroom walls when you can kick it up a notch and do something different. Try decorating with unique decor like wall sconces or floating shelves instead. Regarding bathroom decorating ideas, wall decor is always an affordable option.
You can see how wall sconces add a visual element other than typical wall art. And they create depth and dimension to any size bathroom as well. The decorative white wall sconce also appears three-dimensional and makes a beautiful focal point. It features a beautiful antique finish and is easy to install.
7 – Adding Decorative Towels
We take bathroom towels for granted. I see many folks just placing one over a towel bar, and that’s it! Many of us don’t realize they are decor elements in and of themselves; we can also use them to decorate our bathrooms.
Instead, try adding some luxury hand towels and pairing them in complementary colors. Also, add wicker decorative baskets to your bathroom and roll up towels to create a hotel spa experience. Doing so will transform your bathroom into a luxury experience affordably.
Adding luxurious towels and wicker baskets will instantly transform your space for bathroom decorating ideas—and there’s no heavy lifting required!
8 – Add A Decor Element You Would Never Think Of Using
Think outside the box and try something unique regarding bathroom decor ideas. Whether you like to play it safe or not, adding a unique element to your bathroom will instantly perk things up.
For example, would you ever think of displaying a beautiful wall clock in your bathroom? Maybe not, but what an exciting way to create a focal point! And don’t choose any wall clock but something that makes a statement!
And look at those tubs! Or you can add a stunning whirlpool tub and transform your bathroom instantly. These types of tubs are often referred to by the brand name “Jacuzzi bathtubs” as well. We plan to redo two of our three bathrooms, and I can’t wait to see if they make a good option.
9 – Bathroom Pulls And Knobs
Upgrading your bathroom hardware can transform your space instantly. It’s easy to do and budget-friendly. Try upgrading the hardware if you can’t afford to replace your bathroom vanity. For instance, these Southern Hills Brushed Nickel Drawer Pulls make an attractive and easy installation option.
The image below shows a beautiful bathroom vanity transformation. Why replace your vanity when a can of black paint and some stunning bathroom pulls can do it for you?
10 – Shower Caddy Transformations
Here’s an easy way to update your bathroom: Don’t throw out your old shower caddy—paint it instead! You can finally ditch the rusty old shower caddy and transform it in minutes. Plus, you can change the color anytime and easily! Whether you enjoy DIY crafting projects or not, this is one transformation your bathroom and wallet will love!

Drooling over all of these bathrooms! We have one bathroom and it is TINY. when i say tiny I mean like 2 feet from the side of the tub to the wall. just enough space for a toilet and 1 body lol … I dream of having a gorgeous large bathroom someday. These will be my inspiration!

I love all this bathroom inspiration. I especially like the idea of greenery in a bathroom, I think I need to add more of that to my home.
These bathrooms are gorgeous. I love the tip about the towels. Mine is boring. I need better storage ideas.
