1. Pebble rug

This mat made of river stones also has a massage effect on the feet. The stones can be absolutely any kind, but preferably rounded and flat, so it is easier to attach them. You can buy decorative stones in a store or collect them yourself on the banks of the river or sea. In the latter case, the rug will be a pleasant reminder of the spent vacation.

To work you will need:

  • rubber or plastic mat with holes (so that water flows between the stones, not accumulate under them);
  • Silicone glue or a hot gun.

First, the stones are placed on the mat to choose the best arrangement. If the stones are of different colors, you can lay out a pattern in the form of a mosaic. After that, each stone is glued separately to the mat in its place. Once the glue dries, you can lay the mat on the bathroom floor.

2. Shelves from baskets

Ordinary wicker baskets can turn into great shelves. If you turn them over, the sides will act as shelves. You can store towels, jars and other things in them. Mounted to the wall on nails, screws or glue, depending on the finishing material of the bathroom.

Drawers in the bathroom

Alternatively, you can attach special loops to the basket. Thus, it can be hung on the wall as a shelf, and if necessary, remove it and use it as a container.

Instead of baskets you can use shelves for spices. The same function can be performed by lightweight wooden boxes.

Such jars look beautiful and can be painted by hand.

3. The ledge is not superfluous

Install one more ledge near the bathroom wall. On it you can hang sponges, brushes, children's toys and rubber mats. On the one hand this creates additional storage space, and on the other hand it allows them to dry well.

4. Glass jars for storing small things

Ordinary small glass jars, such as mayonnaise or tomato paste, can be used to store cotton swabs or balls, hairpins, jewelry and all sorts of little things.

There are two ways to organize storage with jars.

In the first case, a wooden bar is attached to the wall, to which clamps are fastened with self-tapping screws. In these clamps jars are inserted. The lids do not have to be used, but with them the contents will not get dusty. The lids themselves can be decorated with stickers, rhinestones, beads, or simply painted the same color.

With the second option, you need jars with screw-on lids. If there are wooden cabinets or shelves, then the lids of the jars are attached to their bottoms from the outside with glue or liquid nails. To attach the jar with the contents, you just have to screw it into the lid like a light bulb.

5. Decorative ladder

A lightweight metal or wooden ladder can be used as a rack for towels or clothes. Unlike nails, it doesn't mar the walls, it doesn't fall off like hooks on duct tape or suction cups, and it can be repositioned or removed from the bathroom altogether.

Staircase for storing bathroom sundries

If the ladder steps are flat and wide, they can additionally be used as storage shelves.

6. Original decoration of the mirror

Ordinary decoration of the mirror surface or frame can dramatically transform both the mirror itself and the entire bathroom as a whole. For example, the frame can be repainted in the colors of the room, decorated with rhinestones, beads, decorative stones, shells, rope, etc.

Shells on mirror

If your bathroom is decorated with a homemade rug made of stones, the same stones can decorate the frame of the mirror. All the decorative elements are attached with regular glue.

If the mirror does not have a frame, you can paint a picture on the edges through a stencil. This can be miniature images of plants, sea animals, a beautiful ornament or geometric shapes. The pattern can resonate with the general decor of the bathroom, the design of wallpaper or textiles or just harmonize in color. You can make the stencil yourself by printing it out and cutting it. It is better to attach it to the glass with masking tape. Paint through the stencil is applied with a brush, sponge or spray from a spray can.

Painted mirror frame

If you decide to just paint the frame, the area of the mirror near the frame is sealed with masking tape. This will protect the surface from the paint, and the work itself will be done better and more accurately.

Now on sale there are a lot of different designs of mirrors with nautical notes.

7. Painting the outside of the bathtub

If the outside of the bathtub is not hidden by a curtain or screen, it can spoil even a new renovation. Especially if it is an old cast iron bathtub. The outer side can simply be painted. But if you apply a drawing, then even a boring, simple bathroom interior will play right away.

Some paints are released toxic substances, and the very closed area of the bath does not allow it to dry properly and evaporate odor. Therefore, it is better to buy special paints.

Drawing on the bath

The method of painting any: brush, roller, spraying from a spray can. Drawing is applied with a brush or through a stencil.

The most courageous can cover the cast iron bath with a decorative mosaic.

This requires removing the old paint, priming the surface and only after this attach the mosaic to the tile adhesive. Such decor looks especially good in interiors with Eastern or Mediterranean design.

8. The original curtain

Sometimes it is enough to change the curtain to transform the whole design of the bathroom.

Bath Curtain

The curtain can be made in an original form, for example imitating a window shade or have flounces, ruffles and even slits.

Modern possibilities of printing houses allow printing any picture on the fabric bathroom curtain. It can be a photo, a beautiful view, a funny picture, etc.

What do you think of such a curtain with spikes? When water hits them, they stick out, reminding you that it's indecent to go into the bathtub when another person is washing in there.

Spiked curtain

You can also make the curtain yourself from ordinary cotton fabric and acrylic paints. Do not limit your imagination!

9. Everything in the same bottles.

All care products and household chemicals can be poured into special decorative bottles. No more fancy packaging in different colors and shapes.

You can buy special jars or make them yourself. For example, you have a lot of identical bottles from a certain cosmetic product or from a food product.

You need to put beautiful stickers with the name of the products on the bottles, otherwise it is easy to get mixed up. Also, the bottles can be decorated or decorated with painting.

10. Lively flowers

Probably indoor flowers in the bathroom can be attributed to the exotic. Most bathrooms in Russia do not have windows, and sunlight is essential for plants. If there is no problem with natural light, then the flowers change the bathroom in a wonderful way, giving it comfort. Small islands of fresh greenery look bright and original.

Flowers in the bathroom - A great idea for a lively interior. Read about it in our other article.

Flowers can be placed on the window, shelves or hung on the wall. As pots you can use ordinary glass jars on clamps, pots from plastic bottles or tin cans. Additionally, flower pots can be decorated in the general style of the entire room.

Plants should be chosen unpretentious, shade-loving and moisture-loving. Otherwise, the room flowers can simply die.
