8 Ways to Display Art in Bathrooms

Art doesn't only have a place in the living room or bedroom. A well-decorated bathroom often features artwork to go along with its decor style. Adding bathroom art can create a sense of thoughtfulness and beauty, turning the bathroom from a purely functional space to somewhere you look forward to spending time.

20 Bathroom Art Ideas That Will Bring Creativity to Your Space

We're thrilled to see more color, pattern, and heirloom pieces fill the homes of design enthusiasts lately, and the bathroom should be no exception to this growing desire for personality-driven homes. While the powder bath has long been considered a "safe place" to experiment with the hues and prints we may not be so comfortable using in our living rooms and sleep spaces, all bathrooms deserve to be considered with such a design-centric mentality. However, that doesn't mean you have to wallpaper your primary bath or paint it mauve to achieve a more well-collected, inspiring look (though we fully support both of those design decisions).

Art can be a powerful tool for transforming your bathroom into a more exciting, inspiring place to prepare for the day ahead and unwind at the end of it in style. Designers also love to employ artwork to give clients' spaces more personality and exude their passions so it feels more inviting and comfortable. Designer Becky Nielsen says that bathroom art is a way to express oneself and show off a collection or something you love. Whether you're an avid art collector or in the process of determining movements and artists that make your heart flutter, both a single print and a flush gallery wall can add some pizzaz and character to your washroom.

We're highlighting 20 designer bathrooms that employ art in unique ways to inspire your next design project and make your house feel more like home. Whether you're working with a quirky, angular guest bath or a generous owner's suite, there's something suitable for every space and style. Here, our 20 favorite bathroom art ideas.

"I love a jewel box powder bath moment," says Nielsen. "There is a lot of aqua in this house and the browns and eggplant in this room pair nicely with that. We chose the artwork because we wanted something old with a touch of brass, and we also didn't want anything to overpower the wallpaper."

The bathroom is an excellent place to use art's power to instill a sense of cheeriness and warmth, and designer Katie Rosenfeld does so beautifully in this layered, albeit quirky, space. A collection of sunny yellow art prints and a whimsical light fixture make the room feel like an even more inviting, happy place to primp and prep—even first thing in the morning.

"This is a teeny-tiny powder room in an old sea captain's home and it is nestled under the main stairs," says Rosenfeld. "The proportions are quirky, therefore I had to design it with all these angles and oddities in mind. A tiny room like this can handle drama, hence the blue trim and floor-to-ceiling wallpaper, and I knew I wanted to hang vintage art all in yellow, so I scoured online and in antique stores until I found just the right mix. "

Adorn White Walls

Coastal-inspired decorating can go from tasteful to tacky in the blink of an eye, but designer Chauncey Boothby uses an elegant nautical artwork, plus some beach-inspired natural materials to make this Maine home fit its context, add antiquated character, and keep it from feeling sterile.

Bathroom as art / News of the society of Krasnoyarsk and Krasnoyarsk Territory / Newslab.Ru

Starting repairs, we always dream. We dream that our life will be transformed together with our home. We dream of hearing words of admiration for our taste from relatives and friends. And, of course, that beauty and convenience cost an acceptable amount and at the same time serve as long as possible.

Freestanding bathtub with chrome floor faucet from Cascada bathroom gallery's English Classics collection

Cascada bathroom gallery, which fully shares this approach, told Newslab.ru how to turn dreams into reality.

Where the soul is

The bathroom is a special part of the house. Here we meet a new day and recharge our batteries, here we rest after long work and wash away all negative thoughts... In a word, regardless of size, the bathroom should please and inspire. Therefore, the choice of sanitary ware, tiles and other bathroom accessories requires the most careful approach. This is not a wallpaper that can be easily replaced at any time - bathroom decoration is done once and for many years.

Simple lines and vibrant colors in the Minimum collection

Brilliant taste

In the Cascada bathroom gallery, every corner is a work of art. Eminent designers-architects worked on the solutions presented in the gallery's showrooms, and this is noticeable: every object, every shade, every smallest detail is in its place here. Whether it's English classics, Italian Renaissance or natural forms from tropical Bali, the style of each ensemble is impeccably maintained and delights at first sight.

For every taste much more than any other store in Krasnoyarsk can offer. But Cascada didn’t stop there either: if a client wants to create an absolutely exclusive interior in his bathroom, which no one else in the city has, he can choose a product in one of the branded catalogs and order its delivery directly from Europe.

What would a bathroom be without tiles? At the service of clients is an extensive collection of ceramic tiles for bathrooms that never go out of fashion from the best European factories. Many of the tiles can only be found in Cascada, and they can be seen and appreciated immediately “live”, in a tasteful interior and with the right lighting.

Keeping up with the times

for those who have nowhere to put their money.

Great news - all this has long been far from true. Rather, on the contrary, in the face of increased competition, manufacturers are constantly reducing prices, and now “smart and beautiful” plumbing is available to almost anyone. Relaxing massage with thin water streams of the shower to your favorite music? A toilet that saves water, cleans itself, and amusingly “springs up” when a person enters the bathroom? All this is possible today - in your home.

Service with a capital letter

When choosing your future bathroom, you want to deal with competent people. Cascada is the same case: a personal manager is assigned to each client. A talented and experienced specialist will take into account all the wishes and help you navigate the variety of goods and manufacturers, draw a design, 3D visualization and go along with the client all the way from the idea to the implementation of the project

Oriental style in the Sinbad collection

A for those who while only looking at plumbing innovations - for example, at the stage of building a house - in the Cascada bathroom gallery, informative lectures and seminars from manufacturers are regularly held. Well, where else in Krasnoyarsk can you learn firsthand about plumbing manufacturing technologies or personally ask questions of interest to a representative of an eminent factory?

Of course, someone can say that A luxury bathroom for Krasnoyarsk is overkill and extra spending, and prefer simple PVC panels to exquisite tiles, and cast-iron with an unpainted inside to a hot tub. But, as experience shows, those who value their rest, strive for comfort and prefer to pay only for really high-quality things, win, because the atmosphere of harmony, cleanliness and comfort in the house is priceless.

The Cascada bathroom gallery once again hosted Krasnoyarsk designers. This time the main topic was a conversation about the interior design of bathrooms. The guest of honor of the event was the talented and famous designer Diana Balashova, the best decorator of 2011 according to the ELLE Decoration magazine and a participant in the TV show Housing Problem. The correspondent of Newslab.ru could not leave this event unattended and is ready to talk about the latest trends in bathroom design.

Diana Balashova has created many delightful interiors during her work. K. Marksa, 41. Such events are regularly held here. Each time they become one of the most important events in the design environment. After all, in this area it is very important to "keep your finger on the pulse" and constantly look for something new. It is Cascada master classes that allow interior designers to discuss new collections, show off their work and exchange experiences.

Before the start of the master class, a small buffet was held, at which Krasnoyarsk citizens enjoyed talking with the star guest. Diana Balashova was also very happy to meet with her Siberian colleagues.

“I came to Krasnoyarsk at the invitation of the Cascada showroom. I would like to talk about bathroom design. There is no doubt that this is one of the most important things. Even if a person is limited in funds, when planning a budget, he will still allocate money to create a bathroom. After all, this is what we use every day and several times. Therefore, it is very important that the bathroom is both comfortable and beautiful,” said the famous designer.

As part of her lecture, Diana Balashova showed the Krasnoyarsk citizens a presentation, analyzing in detail the examples of the dignity and "zest" of design solutions.

“I am very glad that I was able to collect material for the presentation from the works of Russian designers. I have been engaged in interior design for twenty years, and I can say that we used to be "collective farmers" compared to Europeans. But now I am proud of the way Russian designers work. I have seen many facilities in Europe - we are doing better."

She did not bypass Krasnoyarsk residents either, highly appreciating their potential:

“When I went to you, I looked at photos of the work of Krasnoyarsk designers and found a lot of talented people. It pleased me."

As part of her lecture, Diana Balashova singled out five basic conditions for designing a bathroom, without taking into account which it will remain an ordinary restroom.

Bathrooms should be made to look more like rooms than toilets. And if you manage to use living room techniques when designing a bathroom, that will be great!

When the two of you go to work, two sinks are more than just saving time on washing. There is also love in this. After all, when you are in love and build your nest, then you go to the designer. And in a clean and beautiful apartment, love will be sweeter," the designer noted.

At the end of the evening, the guests asked Diana Balashova their questions. The designers were interested in the materials used in the work, discussed the nuances of working with customers, the working day, and much more.
