Bathroom Decorating Styles

Over the last few years, geometrical and patterned tiles have become very popular. This year tastes in tiles has changed again. We're seeing more basic white tiles in 2016. In an effort to beat trends that are ever going into and out of style, people are installing the basic white patterns so their bathrooms will never go out of style. This is an idea that is being used to create enduring visual appeal. That's not to say that geometrical designs are a bad idea, but at some point, you will probably begin to get sick of it altogether and want to change it. If you easily grow bored with your decor then you might want to skip something that you may have to live with for a long time and go with straight white for the bathroom. You can do a lot more with your color if the color is in the decorations and fabrics. It's also easy to change out if you want a new color. For a great pattern that will give a little bit of visual drama, you can check out the classic herringbone design. There are also the windmill and basket weave patterns as well and will lend a classic look to your walls. The porcaline idea can be pared with satin finished tapware as well as stone basins. For an excellent idea in decor, you can add vining plants in colorful pots that can be changed out if you get bored with them and want a new color! The colors can be added with bath towels made of luxurious material. The great thing about white is that you can choose jewel toned colors or pastels. There really is no wrong move with color schemes!

Natural Bathroom Styles

If you're after a natural look in your bathroom, wood isn't the only nature made material that you have at your disposal. Natural stone is making a serious comeback in bathrooms. River rock is used as the main design in the bathroom. You don't have to keep the rock design on the floors or walls either. You can incorporate the rock designs into your sinks, vanity tops, and your bathtub and showers. It can even be added to pieces of your bathroom furniture too! Your shower heads can be installed in the ceiling of your bathroom to create a rainfall or waterfall effect to enhance the aspects of nature!

We can't stress enough about adding plant life to your natural bathrooms. If you want that feeling of nature then adding plants to your nature made bathroom will bring it all together. If you don't want to have a completely waterproof floor with your flush ceiling mounted shower head, then try adding a glass enclosure to your shower. This will keep your bathroom from feeling like a "fake" design by avoiding the fabric curtains. You don't really expect frills in nature and you'll probably want to avoid anything that breaks the vibe of nature in this design idea.

Recessed lighting is also a great idea for this design and if you have the ability you can add a skylight that will really show off your truly unique bathroom. Natural light will only help with your river rock designed bathroom!

Luxurious Bath in a Stone Tub



Close your eyes and imagine yourself cradled by the graceful lines of the tub as you luxuriate in the warm water. Sounds so nice, doesn't it. Now imagine that this wonderfully comforting tub is a free standing stone bathtub. Surprised?

Many people think that stone baths would be uncomfortable because it is stone. This is far from true, especially when the tub is one designed with graceful lines. The stone is usually a composite of limestone and resin formed to make the tub with gentle curves that are quite smooth. You can step into the stone bath and easily slide down into the comforting warm water.

The tub walls are not as thick as a standard tub so a small table placed next to the tub to hold a book, a towel or whatever you may want close at hand can be reached quite easily. Stone tubs are ideal for soaking but also are ideal for turning an ordinary bathroom into an extraordinary one. The outside of the tub wall can be left its natural color, which is quite beautiful, or it can be painted to match the color scheme of the bathroom. Either way, a stone tub becomes the centrepiece of the room.


If you are concerned about keeping the tub clean, don't be. A stone bathtub is easy to keep clean. Just follow the manufacturer's care instructions, which are simple, and your tub will always be clean and ready for your next relaxing soak.
