I cannot speak for others, but for me, the morning begins with washing my sleepy face (yes, I have a no-phone rule at the beginning of the day 🤫). Only then do I truly open my eyes and fully wake up. Thus, a perfect bathroom theme is essential for me. It is the place where I start my day, so it must fill me with positive energy for the hours ahead. Moreover, it is the room where I indulge in my ‘’sacred’’ self-care rituals (I promise to write an article about those as well 🙂).
The perfect bathroom decor should be unique to each individual, but there are certain features that I’m pretty sure everyone desires: a touch of elegance at minimal cost. What could be better than that? 🥰 Our own heavenly, blissful and affordable bathroom design.
We will go together through some must-have bathroom decor pieces that will ensure class and affordability go hand in hand. We should all feel that the way we design it reveals a part of our personality.
Statement Mirror
You know how they say that we have to look in the mirror and truly love ourselves? While I undeniably agree with this statement, I also believe that we need an amazing mirror to actually embrace the feeling. Not to mention the perfect lighting. Fortunately, these days, we have much to be grateful for as we can find products that match the creations of our imagination.
So, we should definitely invest in a beautiful statement mirror as the perfect centrepiece for our bathroom decor. A round frameless mirror is a very classy design and would start adding that dash of elegance we are aiming for.
Besides, I would strongly suggest looking for a frameless mirror with integrated LED lighting to make use of added functionality. It’s important to keep in mind that this type of choice is today’s most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technology. So we can actually save money while making our bathroom as stylish as possible. It’s a win-win situation that combines both practicality and aesthetics.
Elegant Vanity
Any classy bathroom decor should definitely incorporate an elegant vanity. It is, after all, our little space of pure intimacy, a sanctuary where we start and end our days. We should treat this furniture piece with the attention it deserves. An elegant vanity not only provides essential functionality but also sets the tone for the entire bathroom.
I would recommend opting for a vanity with an integrated glass sink to suggest sophistication and modernism. Besides, this type of choice will ensure that we select the most affordable product, which is what we are after. And we have to stay on top of the trends, at least once in a while. 🙂
Another tip for our cost-effective high-end look bathroom is to ensure that the vanity is compartmentalised with many storage drawers. This way, we can keep all the things we need (our dearest face creams 🤭) handy and always maintain a clutter-free bathroom. By having designated spaces for all our toiletries and essentials, we can certainly declare a worry-free bathroom design.
Quality Fixtures
We should always seek out high-quality, elegant fixtures like faucets or hardware. I’m considering taking it up a notch by incorporating a hint of gold. This addition will surely enhance the sophistication of our bathroom. Personally, when I add golden accents in my home decor I feel like I’m slipping into silk pyjamas at the end of a long day. When I imagine this pop of gold in our affordable bathroom design, it immediately transports me to a Parisian room. The French decor style is opulent, yet so simple and approachable. Truly one of a kind!
We also deserve to treat ourselves to a lavish ambiance in our sacred place. Here is where we can completely disconnect and revel in the peace surrounding us within such a personal setting. It’s not about excess. We just need to create a space that reflects our inner calm and a quiet confidence.
Matching Accessories
Just imagine when we want to wear an elegant outfit for a special occasion. We usually go for a matching outfit or matching jewellery. This way, we know we can’t fail. I dare to say it’s the same with our bathroom decor. We show our sense of style when we align our bathroom accessories with intention. We turn the ordinary into something refined when we choose pieces that complement each other. By opting for matching accessories, we create a sophisticated look that is bound to impress.
But we also have to choose accessories that complement the colour scheme and style of the bathroom decor to create a harmonious and polished look. I would recommend we search for sets that maintain that splash of gold within the texture, especially if we want to achieve that glamorous look. One valuable piece of advice I received years ago is to avoid overloading with too many accessories. We should aim for a minimal style for our bathroom to achieve that clean and organised look. So, a liquid soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, soap dish, and a matching bin should be enough to keep the room functional.
As my mum always says, guests will always admire the house they are visiting, especially the bathroom design. 🛁
Beautiful Artwork
I remember when I was little, I used to dream about having a TV in my bathroom. I wanted to spend hours soaking in my bathtub and watching my favourite shows. Now, thinking back, it makes me smile with such nostalgia because I can feel how the passage of time will always bring such significant changes in us.
Well, in the present moment, all I want in my bathroom is peace and quiet, perhaps just a faint sound of relaxing music. And on my walls, all I desire to see are beautiful, representative artworks. Nothing more than that. 🙂 I usually choose art that speaks to me. Pieces that reflect my mood, my memories, or simply my love for beauty.
For our design, we should opt for simple wall art to ensure it doesn’t overpower our space but rather complements it. Some green leaves prints would be an amazing choice because they will add a touch of nature to our room. And the ambiance will feel calm, peaceful, and classy.
Stylish decor
Of course, it’s important to allocate time for the little things as well. Once we’ve selected the essential elements for an elegant bathroom, I would suggest investing in multifunctional decorative items. This way, we save money and minimise the time spent searching for them.
We all love to take a hot bath with bubbles and enjoy a nice glass of wine, or perhaps read a good book. These moments are priceless! 🍷So, we can all agree that a beautiful bathtub tray that will easily blend into the existing decor is a must-have. Besides, we can use it in so many more ways, as decor, or as a cute storage basket.
An alternative ingenious idea would be to purchase scented candles in stylish and luxurious glass jars. We can match them to our colour scheme and choose our favourite scents. The fusion of visuals and delightful fragrances promises to captivate all our senses. Another creative way in which we can utilise the jars is as bathroom holders once the candle is fully used.
Fine textiles and textures
We cannot overlook the significance of having high-quality towels in our bathroom. Our skin deserves the best treatment at all times. And let’s not forget: a bathroom truly feels like home only when we incorporate our personal and favourite items into it. I invest in towels that feel plush and comforting against my skin. This way I turn everyday routines into small moments of luxury.
I can think of only one thing better than having a delicious and long bubble bath, and that is the moment we step outside and cover ourselves in a delicate and plush towel. But one more important element to make this picture perfect is the surface we step on. Yes, I’m referring to a high-quality bathroom rug. It should be like our personal mantra: fluffiness under our feet and softness wrapped around our body. 🙂
