Need help with bathroom wall decor

13 years ago

I still haven't finished decorating our master bathroom that has been completed over one year ago.

I am not good with wall decor. Our idea was to use photos of flowers in our garden. Other than over the tub would you put them anywhere else? What would you do over the tub area and on the shelf? What to do with the wall by the toilet? Anything else?

Here are some photos after the bathroom and some of the flowers.

Any ideas are appreciated.

    What about framing them in an oversized mat frame

    I think I'd put a chrome towel shelf over the tub area. Maybe one with a bar on the bottom would come in handy to hang hand washables. The area to the left of the sink isn't that large so I'd have to think about that. Do you need a place to hang a washcloth or hand towels? If so, I'd get a metal towel bar that matches your sconces. I'd probably put any pictures on the long wall and get brushed metal frames to match the sconces. You already have enough blue in the room, so I'd go with the black-eyed susans or hibiscus to bring in another color. Since one is a cool color and the other warm, I'm not sure if I'd do both of those together. What else do you have in your garden?

    I know there are ways to doctor photos so they look like paintings, but I never heard of this one. How handy are you?

    The oversized mat is a cool idea.

    I didn't realize that the towel bars were not up yet when these photos were taken.

    There is a bar on the back wall of the tub and a small bar on the faucet wall of the tub. The small bar is a security bar to hold while getting in and out. And there is now a towel bar on the wall by the sink. All are chrome. The photo frame on the sink is gone.

    I will check for different color flowers.

    Butterfly on green leaves?

    I don't know what this is called.

    No because of the blue?

    I have more of the same flowers.

    The plants that you question are day lilies. They come in many sizes, colors and petal shapes; some are narrow, some are ruffled. They are wonderful plants!

    you could crop your photos for a single flower look I just snipped this as an example so it is a bit fuzzy.

    Where and how many photos would you put? I know its hard to see the whole wall with the built in magazine rack but would you put anything on there?

    What about the shelf? Items with some texture?

    oh and that water painting thing is cool. I had priced having the photos done on canvas but it is too pricey. Maybe this would do it.

    And yes I could crop or play around with the photos.

    I really have no clue.

    You have a lot of colors in a small space which makes decorating more difficult. I would choose white frames and white flowers or printed in sepia. Maybe layer your towels in white and beige. Depending on the size of frame you get I wouldn't put more than 3 on the tub wall. I can't see the other wall.
