Simple Wall Decorations for Bathrooms

Mirrors on the Wall
One of the simplest ways to decorate the walls of the bathroom is by hanging mirrors. When I say hanging mirrors, I don’t mean that you just hang one utilitarian mirror in front of the sink. Scour the flea markets to find a collection of beautiful mirrors with antique frames in metals like bronze and steel. Ornamental mirrors in different shapes and sizes when hung on a wall of the bathroom can give your bathroom a chic and sophisticated look. Avoid using cheap plastic framed mirrors for this project. Mirrors with scalloped edges, filigree detailed frames and frames with sequins and beads all work well as wall decorations. When grouping different sized mirrors, you need not aim for symmetry as grouping unsymmetrical and different shaped mirrors will give a more interesting and dramatic look. For the best results paint the bathroom wall on which you are going to hang the mirrors in a deep earthy hue like terracotta, tan or rust.

Wallpaper as Wall Art
If you have scraps of wallpaper left over from a house remodeling project, then you can use them as modern wall decorations for bathrooms. All you need to do is cut a rectangular or square piece of wall paper and frame it with a beautiful metal frame. Hang this on one of the walls of your bathroom where you can enjoy the beautiful pattern. Alternatively, you can even frame a piece of patterned fabric or maybe a favorite piece of tapestry on the wall. Bathroom wall decors like these are easy to create even on a budget.

Mismatched China Plate
Who said that you need to spend a ton to decorate a bathroom? You may have a lot of individual china that you are not able to use because you broke a couple from the set. Now you can make use of these mismatched china by using them as wall decorations for the bathroom. Arrange all the china plates that you have with you and group them together to make a nice arrangement that is pleasing to the eye. A good way to group these plates would be to use the most detailed and dramatic plate in the center and then use smaller and plain looking china plates around it. Creating a focal point in this way makes the arrangement look more polished and put together. Attach these plates on the wall of the bathroom by using industrial strength glue.

Abstract Wall Painting
There is nothing more classy than hanging a beautiful piece of art in the bathroom. Since bathrooms can be damp, frame inexpensive but colorful piece of art in glass frames. Large abstract paintings in vibrant and rich colors can enhance the look of a black and white minimalistic bathroom. If abstract paintings are not your thing, then you can choose some other bathroom wall art like a seascape or landscape. Grouping together three or four smaller paintings and hanging them vertically on a wall also works well in a bathroom.

Stenciled Wall
If you are looking for a quick way to update the look of your bathroom, then opt for a stenciled border on the walls. Place a simple stencil over the wall surface of the bathroom and start dabbing a paint soaked sponge over it. Gently remove the stencil once the paint is semi dry and shift the stencil forward. You can use stencils to dress up one of the walls of the bathroom or you can create a border along the top edges of the walls. Many good stencil patterns can be downloaded for free from home improvement sites. You can also make your own stencils by taking inspiration from your favorite fabric patterns. Stenciling walls is not a difficult project and you can complete this project over a weekend.
