What Interior Decor Styles Work Well In Bathrooms?

There are many different interior style choices that would well in a bathroom. As with any home or office design, the best choice depends on the overall look and feel you are looking to achieve for you and your space.

Spa Hotel Bathrooms

If you want to recreate that ultimate spa feel at home, you’ll need to get yourself acquainted with the right colours. You’re probably thinking warm neutrals, greys, blues and teal. But for something a little outside the box, try purple.

Purples are incredibly luxurious, evoking a regal influence and mythical spirit. Choose muted tints and lavender greys for a calming, minimal take on this creative colour. 

Along a similar vein, pinks can give your bathroom a playful energy whilst keeping the space light and airy. They’re the perfect match for natural stone, off-white, creams and warm greys, meaning they suit a lot of different bathroom interiors.

You will feel all the invigorating qualities of passionate red, but with a more understated look suitable for a spa atmosphere. This is especially true when paired with delicate pampas, vases, lanterns, and figurines.

Bringing Nature Indoors With Botanicals

Botanical art is one of the easiest ways to bring some greenery into your home. Creating a rich, luscious, and sensory bathroom space is a breeze. Whether you choose classic spring florals or vibrant and summery tropical prints, botanical wall art will give your bathroom the feel of a spa haven.

Biophilic design, which means using nature as a focal point in interior design, will remain on trend for the foreseeable. Alongside displaying art, including plants and flowers is the best way to style a home that has a positive impact on your wellbeing. 

Combining art and botanicals reduces stress, calms the mind, and increases creativity. Here in the UK we might be lacking a balmy equatorial climate, but in no time at all it will feel like you’re relaxing in your very own idyllic utopia. 

Pair serene greens with pinks, yellows, blues and more. Your new biophilic bathroom wall decor is sure to transform your bathroom into an eden. 

Abstract Shapes And Bold Designs

Your bathroom is the perfect place to play with shape and texture, whether that be shelving, fittings, accessories or other decoration. Geometric patterns and abstract shapes in artwork compliment this perfectly, giving your bathroom a balanced yet lively look.

Mix and match blush pinks and monochrome, punctuated by pops of peach, make for an exciting modern palette. Minimal bathroom wall art is particularly effective in this instance.

A set of three bathroom prints is ideal for making a statement - and calming blue waves would be the top choice here. The ebb and flow of ocean inspired abstract prints will mesmerise and relieve tension.

Famous for their focus on colour, texture and mood, abstract artwork is incredibly popular. It makes up our most expansive collection of art prints and canvas art, as well as our original paintings.

Black And White Minimalist Style

If you’re truly in minimalist mode when it comes to your bathroom interior design, then look no further than our versatile monochrome prints. They’ll blend seamlessly with pristine white tiles or even coloured walls, for a barely styled yet eye catching look.

Introduce splashes of colour into your bathroom using accessories like candles, bath mats, vases, and more. Black and white compliments any colour palette or accent, which is just part of its appeal. It also instantly adds sophistication to your space.

If you’re feeling particularly bold or want a more contemporary look, then you can introduce retro bathroom prints or black and white into your space for a twist on the monochrome colour scheme. Black and white art also makes a great pairing for an art deco bathroom mirror or other statement pieces. 

Coastal Bathroom Decor

Traditionally coastal bathrooms are used for beach villas or second homes by the sea. It's a clear choice for interior designers to accentuate the surroundings and bring local themes into a space to elevate it's beauty. But, if you're a fan of the ocean, you don't need to be situated by the sea to enjoy all the beauty the coast has to offer. By incorporating some coastal themed artwork, you can instantly transport yourself to the ocean and feel that fresh see breeze (hypothetically, of course!).

Metallic Glamour

Just as your fittings can provide you with a metallic accent colour, your bathroom artwork can too. Swap stainless steel and silvery chrome colours for gold, copper and brass to retain an expensive finish but inject more warmth and colour. With our range of gold picture frames, you can instantly achieve this look by selecting brass-style frame finishes.

Gold is the ultimate precious metal and including it in your bathroom elevates a functional space into one of indulgence. Introducing bathroom wall prints that boast a touch of fine gold detailing, or even feature it as a dominating colour, will add elegance to your interiors.
