Bathroom Almost Complete, But...

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

I need ideas for these walls! The pony wall looks bare to me and I'm not sure what to put on the large wall next to the shower niche with the shelves. Any suggestions? I considered doing a large, colorful print on the large wall like the one I'm attaching and maybe doing some coral wall art on the pony wall and then add a little coral decor to the glass shelves. The coral wall art is flat, but would add texture. I'm open to as many ideas as I can get!

    Oh, and I'd like ideas for the vanity. I'm going to replace the artificial plant between the sinks with a real plant. Should I add anything to the right of the sinks and if so, what? A tray with clear jars and a candle, maybe?

    Thank you, Olychick. There's no room for a bench by the pony wall and no need for a towel warmer. We already have our towel hooks where conveniently located upon exiting the shower. I see what you mean about not noticing the blank pony wall once I get the large art on the wall. I'll start there and see how that looks!


    Any suggestions for the far right side of the vanity?

    Where the windows are, to the left of them? If that's where you mean, do nothing. You have beautiful windows (love the frosted treatment you did!), a chandelier, a gorgeous free-standing tub on that wall, plus 3 mirrors and all the faucets, sinks, etc. on the vanity wall. Lots of pretty things to look at. Not every space needs to be filled. Sometimes, your eyes need some relief from "stuff."

    You have a beautiful bathroom, filled with wonderful things. You just have to know when to stop. My own preference would be to bring in some color; even just some soft blues and blue-greens would add a lot. I wonder if your desire to fill every blank space might be being driven by the fact there is very little contrast anywhere. But if it suits you now, that's all that matters.

    You don't need anything. Keep the space clutter free. It looks great and spa like with space to breathe.

    I like the coral idea. textures, a bit of color


    maybe pick a color and do diff tones of that color with the coral?



    maybe something w/black and white for contrast w/all the beige.




    The mercury glass and apothecary jars are also nice.



    roll your towels.

    for that corner, do a hanging plant. perfect spot for it


    these ivy plants are perfect. I have a philodendren that's been growing along my ceiling for 3 years in my bathroom.


    You don't have room for a small teak stool?

    for the countertop, do a money plant or type of tall thin bamboo.


    put the plant inside of a wood tray, or woven tray. either will bring some warmth and texture. use the glass jars again. this small black/white framed print may be something you can use.

    Sorry, I just re-read your post and see that you were referring to what to put on the top of the vanity, if anything. I might look for a vintage silver serving tray with handles and put a few things on it. The problem will be not blocking the view to the mirror if someone is actually going to sit there and fix their hair or apply make-up. To make a display look the best, you would need some thing with some height. The trick will be getting the scale correct so it doesn't look cluttered. Don't go too small. I think some of the things on your shelves could be a bit larger.

    I think these are nice examples:









    Eta: Beth posted her great examples while I was writing mine. I like her hanging plant idea for that corner very much.

    Below is a bathroom design we completed for a client. Please notice the decor accents and pops of color. Perhaps what your space is missing is a bit of color.
