Bathroom

The design of a bathroom From a decorating point of view presents a challenge. Ceiling, wall and floor materials and coverings should be impervious to water and readily and easily cleaned. The use of ceramic or glass, as well as smooth plastic materials, is common in bathrooms for their ease of cleaning. Such surfaces are often cold to the touch, however, and so water-resistant bath mats or even bathroom carpets may be used on the floor to make the room more comfortable. Alternatively, the floor may be heated.

Electrical appliances, such as lights, heaters, and heated towel rails, generally need to be installed as fixtures, with permanent connections rather than plugs and sockets. This minimizes the risk of electric shock.

On the decorating front, bathrooms may be considered by some owners to be of value only because of their utility and they may be reluctant to decorate or re-decorate to "freshen" tired decor or to suit their tastes; others like to decorate their bathrooms, however.

Colour is a key factor; the use of colours can alter the mood of any room and even make it look bigger. The bathroom is no different. It is sometimes suggested that bathrooms be painted in light, "cool" colours as a bathroom is a wet room and water is the predominant element. Many owners use watery elements across the bathroom, such as cloud or wave patterns across the tiles and the ceiling. Patterned wallpaper with blue or green as the predominant colour is also common.

Another re-modelling idea is changing the lighting, as it accentuates objects in the room. For bathrooms it is advisable to have overhead or ceiling ambience lights which could optionally be fitted with dimness regulator; one might also add spot or task lights on the mirror.  Installing bathroom mirrors opposite each other can make the room appear larger when combined with the right lighting. Bathroom cabinets, vanity units, and countertops with shiny, reflective surfaces can also brighten the room.
