9 Tips for Giving Your Bathroom a Funky Feeling

"Funky" in a good way, I mean.

I love bathrooms, especially little tiny ones. They're perfect for wild design experimentation - places to try things you'd never attempt in a larger, more public space.

Funky bathrooms are fantastic - and these tips will help you incorporate a little funk into your own space:

9. Beautify EVERYWHERE. The inside of Eve Martel's medicine cabinet is pretty amazing - and something that can be easily replicated at home.

8. Wallpaper! An intense pattern can be amazing in a small space - and fortunately, if you get tired of it, wallpaper is usually not that tough to get off the walls of a bathroom.

7. Add color. Maybe the easiest way to bring the funk: don't be afraid of color. This red tub shows real commitment.

6. Big art. I'm a huge map fan, so of course I love this wall of map. The effect would be just as cool, though, with another enormous piece of art in that tiny little space.

5. Chalkboard paint. Chalkboard paint is big in the kitchen and in kids' rooms, but there's no reason why it can't be fun in the bathroom, too - especially if your friends are funnier than the people who write on bar bathroom walls!

4. Crazy plumbing. This bathroom is funky all around, but I am especially drawn to that wild shower. I've never seen anything else like it!

3. Shelf it. Some people are hesitant to place art or books in the bathroom, concerned that steam may ruin them. Makes sense. But these shelves, presumably stocked with pieces that are either impervious to steam or that can be banged up a bit, makes the room very interesting.

2. "Real" furniture. If you've got the space, placing a "real" chair, table or vanity in the bathroom gives it a cool loungey air.

1. Dress it up. The addition of a mannequin, especially one in glamorous nightgear, amps up the funk in this bathroom.
