Our new bathroom.

Just finished our bathroom and hall. Any ideas for decorating the area above the toilet? We were thinking plantations shutters on the window. Or should we just hang a valance?

You should put a nice rug in front of the sink, and maybe add a plant on the counter, the room looks very neat like this, but it needs a little something added, like you can put a tiny shelf above the toilet, and a small curtain or blind on the window well look great.

Hi AlleyKat, Congrats on your bathroom and hall remodel ! I like the simple and clean design as it is -- no need to add anything above the toilet.

If you don't add something - it will end up with unwanted items - empty spaces are where people put things! Nice remodel - BTW!

Well done! I would suggest a drape of something soft and light in keeping with your colors, and making it longer than the window. Of course if you get sunlight from the window that you want, this won't work!
