What to do with this empty bathroom wall?

4 years ago

I have no idea where to even begin with this bathroom! Help! (I don’t want to paint a new colour.)

My biggest concern is the very long blank wall that we stare at while on the toilet. Do I just leave it empty or is there a need for something? Ideas please!

    Hang some art on the wall.

    Or, install two more towel racks.

    How about a magazine rack?

    Looks like kids use the bath? - it would be fun to buy a vintage nursery rhyme book and pull out the pages and mount them along the wall, the colors and graphics can be so charming and would be fun for your little ones (I did this in a powder rm)

    How about one wall of wallpaper? I customized a really fun pattern for one wall of my laundry room at Love vs Design. It is peel and stick so make sure whatever you choose will hold up to the humid conditions. Alternately, you could do a panel treatment. There are all sorts of designs available, here’s just one example from Lowe’s https://www.lowes.com/pd/Ekena-Millwork-Large-Fairplay-Fretwork-23-375-in-x-23-375-ft-Smooth-White-PVC-Wall-Panel/5001497777?cm_mmc=shp--c--prd--mlw--ggl--PLA_MLW_135_Windows-Patio-Door-Garage--5001497777--online--0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpp6B6s6v9wIVuSCtBh0l6AcaEAQYAiABEgLFB_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds. Good luck !

    You don't need anything on the wall. Just more to dust and keep clean.

    Frame a mural of an outdoor scene.

    If you hang something, center it 5' above the floor (same goes for the word art you already have.)

    I would hang one piece of art over your current towels, since that looks like the view from the door/when you walk in, and another piece of art across from the toilet, because that's what you're looking at when you're sitting down there. Maybe place art that will be reflected in your vanity mirror - if the across-from-toilet art doesn't do that.


    The rest of that wall doesn't need anything because you're rarely looking right at that wall - you're walking past it.

    Hooks you need towel hooks, then put loops on your towels. This way your child has a chance of putting the towel back. It's too narrow a space for much of anything really.

    That’s a great idea about the hooks. Space three or four of them and then add some artwork above. Since your towels look beachy here is some ocean artwork.

    If you spend a lot of time staring at a blank wall, why not add a couple of pieces of framed art, or one larger piece of art that looks like a window with a view of a forest or ocean or flower field? Something colorful. You could have a piece of art for each season and change it every three months.

    How about a hook for each child and a frame above that holds a piece of their art? You can change the art when they do a new painting or drawing. For the younger ones, install a photo of them from your camera until they start to draw.
    Their towel and art are together!

    Seeing the little potty indicates young folks sometimes use that bathroom. You can buy a large bulletin board, maybe 30"x30" or whatever the big size is at Wal mart/Tar get. Paint it, including the wooden frame, the same color as the BR walls and hang it on that empty wall. Because it's a bulletin board, you can change things out: pretty images from a calendar, art work from beloved children, family photos, seashells from a trip to the beach, souvenirs from family trips, etc. It will bring life to the room and it's very inexpensive.
