10 Cute and Simple Bathroom Ideas Easy Enough to Recreate

Sure, not everyone who comes over steps foot inside your bathroom, but it most definitely deserves to be just as lovely and stylish as the other rooms of your home, right? We spend so much time and energy designing our main living spaces that the loo often gets overlooked. Well, we think it's time to change that once and for all.

That said, determining just how to decorate a bathroom, particularly if it's extra small, can be a bit of a challenge. But if you're having trouble developing a color scheme, selecting hardware, or choosing a paint color, don't fret. The 10 spaces below will show you just what a fabulous, functional bathroom looks like and will provide you with tons of inspiration as you take the next steps in your own home.

01 Learn Some Art

Fun art isn't just for the living room. If you have a cool piece that needs a home, why not try it in the loo? And note that leaning art can look super chic—so don't sweat it if you have tile walls that aren't hammer-friendly.

02 Add Some Sconces

Sconces look lovely next to the bed, but we'll let you in on a not so little secret—they are equally charming in the bathroom. Have fun with them and create a luxe looking setup that will have you actually feeling excited to brush your teeth every morning.

03 Incorporate Rattan

Oh rattan, how we love you so. Small rattan hooks and shelving shine in this sunny bathroom. Little details like these make all the difference in helping a space feel more personal and curated. Plus, storage!

04 Include Some Plant Babies

If your ideal aesthetic is simple and natural, embrace neutrals in the bathroom and have fun with pops of greenery to add some life to the space. We love the idea of placing small plants on open shelving above the toilet.

05 Switch Out Your Hardware

Swap out bland builder-grade hardware for drawer pulls that are more your aesthetic. You can never go wrong with little pops of gold! If you're a renter, just make sure to keep the original bathroom hardware in a safe place so that you can restore everything pre-moveout.

06 Embrace the Small Things

Don't neglect the little details—who says that your trash can has to be boring? There are so many ways to merge pretty and practical in the bathroom, choosing a stylish trash can being just one of them. If spending a few extra bucks on a brass piece will make you happy, then go for it.

07 Hang a Sweet Mirror

Honestly, could this mirror be more adorable? Say goodbye to that clunky medicine cabinet and introduce a beauty like this to your bathroom instead.

08 Get Ziggy With It

A zig zag-esque pattern brings the fun in this sleek bathroo m. Don't be afraid to engage in a little pattern play to spice things up!

09 Go Glam

Hanging some glamorous framed photographs (or magazine clippings, for a budget-friendly hack) by the tub will remind you to live your best life, always. Sit back, soak, and dream big.

10 Choose Color

This bathroom features another cheerful and colorful wallpaper print that we love. Think outside the box and select a pattern that you may not ordinarily use in a larger space—smaller spaces like bathrooms are all about taking risks and going bold.
