Help Me Decorate : Half Bath

6 years ago

Looking for help to decorate my half bath because my head has a 1000 ideas and i can't seem to decide what and where to stop.

What i cannot change (at least for the time being) - Bathroom layout, paint and cabinets.

What would I like - I'm envisioning boho inspired bath with black and white accessories with 1-2 plants. Wall shelf and monochromatic wall art. I was thinking of 2 wall frames with Calvin Hobbes Cartoon prints. And one piece with a pop of accent color like red or orange.

Tricky Areas - The little gap between the wall and vanity.

    All you really need to do is paint the walls & wall decor.

    You don't need 10 "ideas" or a bunch of doo dads and money wasted.

    Layout can’t be changed and IMO this space can only handle so much stuff on the walls. I like the Hobbs prints why start there , with a wall color from one of the prints. Is this usually a PR for guests? If so I never use cloth hand towels in one I use disposibles no one wants to dry their hands on a towel other people have used IMO. I would do a new white counter that one you have does not really work with the B/W idea at all

    Agree that the vanity is wrong. The oat or almond countertop is off, especially next to white walls and white toilet. Move towel ring. It is way too high and not useful. Low on the left side to get it away from the toilet. I too use washcloths rolled up for guests but I realize that is not for everyone. Is bohemian right with rest of your house? I agree that something on that big bare wall might be helpful to focus the eye, but the colors must be right.

    I'll state my opinion again as I have with other powder room questions - this is the place to go wild and get creative! Find an awesome wallpaper that you like. Paint the walls a dramatic color. Use light fixtures that give drama to the room. Maybe something like this:

    Not a pro. I love the accessories that you've chosen! Definitely change the vanity top to white or black, and move the towel bar as previously suggested.

    How about an accent wall for Calvin and Hobbes? Depending upon the lighting you choose and how dark/dramatic vs. light/bright you want the look to be, you could do a black accent wall with the other walls white, or you could do an orange (maybe tangerine) accent wall with the other walls black.

    She can't even change paint. How in hell can she paper? It's a budget $ vanity that came with a top, and a cheesy faucet that belongs at a Red Roof hotel, not the half bath of dreams.

    The point is.........either wait until you can make it what you really WANT. Or put something fun on the wall, don't waste money on junk : )

    I don't see how a gallon of PAINT is an issue........I never understand that.

    I like all of your potential choices, and strongly agree about moving the towel ring (actually, I’d lose the ring and put a more interesting and unique towel bar to the left of the vanity).


    I wouldn’t call your ideas boho, though. Boho is a funky, layered, colorful, free-spirited look. These are a bit over-the-top, but good examples of being authentic boho, rather than Instagram-boho. ;-)

    Another (that’s wood-look wallpaper):

    Regardless of me being pedantic here (lol), I like the direction you’re going and think it can all come together well.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. Definitely step:1 is to move the towel holder to left. It will not only make it usable but also fill that awkward void space.

    We have our hands full with other personal stuff at the moment so cannot spare time or money into big changes as of now but i need to do something with what I have so that the bathroom is usable for the guests until then.
