Decorating With Wrought Iron (part V) The Bathroom

Yes, even bathrooms need to be decorated now. After all, this is the room that you frequent in the morning and other times in the day to do your daily routines such as bathing, washing your face, brushing your teeth and so on.

However, unknown to some, the bathroom may be one of the trickiest rooms to decorate. This is because you have to be very careful with the accessories and fixtures that you choose to bring in. For one, it should be durable enough to withstand the constant humidity in the place and you cannot also put in a lot of free standing accessories because most of the bathroom spaces in modern homes is actually quite limited. So as a resort, you can use the walls for further beautification needed.

Here are some useful tips in decorating the bathroom wall.

1. Work with what you have.
The easiest way with to decorate the bathroom is by working to enhance the theme that you already existing. You do not really have to change the tiles and the wall treatment if they still look good. In addition, keeping the old tiles will not only save you time but tons of money as well.

Here is one thing that you need to accomplish first before attempting to do anything in your bathroom: clean. Remember no one wants to work with rusty faucets, stained porcelain tiles and blackened grout right? Do not worry because cleaning them is not really that hard. In fact you can now buy several solutions that work on a spray, let rest and wipe basis.
2. Get the proper tools to do the job.

Since you are more likely to work on tiles, you have to invest in a good and trustworthy drill that can give you some holes without breaking anything. If you need to hang decors on the wall, make sure that you have a sturdy ladder that would not slip on a wet floor.

3. Choose accessories carefully.
As mentioned above, you cannot really have too much free standing accessories lying around. This is mainly because free standing items do not only take up too much space but they can also be potential hazards especially if you or anyone in your family slips with wet feet.

So in place of all those free standing accessories, you can always get wall decors that are both functional and beautiful to look at. Here are some of the examples:

a. Mirrors framed with wrought iron

b. Decorative towel bars

c. Metal wall panels with hooks to hang your bathrobes and dry towels while bathing

d. And of course, candle wall sconces that you can use with your aromatherapy candles while you are having a warm bath.

Again, the key to giving these accessories a long life is by checking, maintaining and cleaning them more often than usual. In a way, this will ensure that your beautiful metal wall art, mirrors and any other accessories rust free.

With that, you are finally done. Give yourself a pat on the back and by all means enjoy those decorating projects that you have done so far.
