5 wall decor ideas for small bathrooms
1. Decorative Shelf
The most common way to free up space in your small bathroom is to put up one or more decorative shelves on the wall. While you can use it in any bathroom, it is considered a crucial piece of men’s bathroom decor because it adds a masculine character to the bath space, especially when fabricated for recovered/recycled wood.
2. Put mirrors up
When working with a small bathroom, you want the user to see as much of the bathroom as possible at one glance. You can achieve this by installing one giant mirror or multiple smaller mirrors. Like other bathroom wall ideas on this list, it creates the illusion of space, and it does this by bouncing light around the room and reflecting your bathroom space.
3. Add seasonal props
Your bathroom is already small; the last thing you want is for it to be forgettable and bland. You can add some life to your bathroom style by incorporating seasonal props. The right props can quickly transform your otherwise boring bathroom into a tropical resort in Hawaii or an Asian spa in a matter of minutes.
4. Add a product shelf
No list of bathroom decor inspirations is complete without the inclusion of a product shelf. I’m sure you’d agree that the most common reason for clutter in most bathrooms is that toiletries and other products are littered everywhere. You can easily bypass this common issue by installing a product shelf on the wall and taking some pressure off the floor or your cabinets.
5. Adequate lighting fixtures
A common feature for most small bathrooms is the lack of or, at best, inadequate number of windows. This limits the amount of natural light that saturates the room, and this could cause the bathroom to look smaller than it should. The workaround is to install good lighting fixtures on the wall. This, coupled with installing a mirror (as mentioned above), is guaranteed to create the illusion of space in your small bathroom.
