Let’s talk about one of the most fascinating bathroom themes. Hawaii is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world because of its tropical island, heavenly beaches, cool culture and colorful life. Now you can actually decorate your bathroom in typical Hawaiian style. Yes, that’s very much possible. A wonderful Hawaiian style décor adorned with seashells and small surfboat figurines as accessories! Wow, that definitely sounds appealing, doesn’t it? Sky is the limit when it comes to choosing aquatic themes for your bathroom. How about choosing a theme based on deep sea aquatic life and a storm-wrecked ship! Mind it, these are just few ideas but if explored further, you will find many.

You can also choose a beach based theme full of earthy, neutral colors of the sand, sea, and sky. Use ceramic tiles in shades like tan, beige, light gold, or brown. Apply various blue and green hues of the sea and sky for the walls, towels, and accessories. Corals and shells will further brighten your bathroom. These are just few theme ideas for decorating bathroom. You can find many more and make your bathroom experience much more memorable.

Besides the walls, the biggest source of color in your bathroom is shower curtains. Prefer a solid color with nice design. It brightens up the bathroom. The place will look much better if the shower curtain pattern color matches to the color of the walls. Both should complement each other. If you want to make your bathroom appear larger then use light colors. The floor rugs should match the towel colors. If the bathroom is large, place rugs by the sink and toilet else just use one in front of the bathroom. Spend some on new towel racks. Racks should be of similar style.

If the towels match the shower curtain then nothing like that. However, wall color and towel color should not be exact. Accessories are very important in enhancing the look of the bathroom. You can use soap dispenser, tissue holders and toothbrush holders etc for additional effect. Designer touches could be placement of candles on the bathtub corners or on the vanity. These steps will completely change the look of your bathroom and you and your visitors both, will be exclaiming, Wow!

Home is one of the most comfortable places in an individual’s life. Everyone loves to own a place even if it is small – something that they can say is their own and hence rooms should be decorated according to the personality of the individual who wants to live in. Hence, it makes sense to choose something that you love for your home décor.

First a fall, get rid of the clutter. No one loves clutter. Make a list of things that you love and things that should definitely be a part of your room – it may be a bean bag, a poster, a letter, a show piece, a wind chime, a CD, TV set, mirror anything. Next task is to choose the colour for your room. Do not get excited by some jazzy colours that you may love momentarily and hate the next moment. Choose something that you have been loving since ages. Colour can play a big role in inspiring and affecting your mood and state of mind. Choosing the right colour can provide peace to a great extent. If you want a room to be soothing and relaxing, choose a light colour. However, the decision is entirely yours as some people may feel more relaxed with a dark bright colour.

The next task is to choose furniture that you love. For me it is definitely a bean bag. It relaxes me and adds a certain amount of style to my room. You may want to select stylized chairs, low tables, old sofas etc. Now, choose images that you love. They can be photographs, paintings or even some written matter. Frame them with attractive decorative photo frames available. They are sure to bring some happy vibrations in you. The balance of comfort and style needs to be achieved. Most people forget that they have to decorate their room in a way that they can live in them. They overstuff their room. You should know where to stop. Do not over decorate your room. Leave some space for air.  You can use some cool things like a Chinese hand fan on the wall or a wind chime or even a digital photo frame.

Pay attention to linen, bed sheets, pillow covers, and curtains. Use colours that you love. You can even paint your own bed sheets and pillow covers and make them truly unique. Also, install good lighting. Proper lighting is essential for convenience. Use an expert’s opinion if you need. I love to be able to adjust the light in every room with dimmer switches. They are easy to install and help make space perfectly lit.

Apartments in metros are customized and standardized within square foot area. Often we find the rooms disproportionate or the passage small. There are several tricks an interior decorator has up his sleeve as the suggestions can actually make us optimize the limited space. Kitchen needs to be compact and a neat modular effect is very important. In case you need to have things handy then it is best to sit along with the designer and express your priorities. Existing remodeling of cabinets also makes the kitchen look vibrant and spacious.

Bathrooms often seem small when placed with fixtures and using it with intelligent color coordination in tiling is a great idea. Go for tiles like peach and flowery effect which also makes the room appear brighter and welcoming. Wash basin, tubs and simple arrangements like buckets can be looked up for unique colors and shapes. Kid’s bathroom items are just about peppy purchases.

Passages that lead us from one room to another need to have wall colors in peach, sunset yellow or whites. A simple frame or picture is more than enough to spruce up the area. Storage is often looked as a dump area for less used items. Many times you can use the spare area in the loft of top cabinets of the bedroom to lock up winter wear, rugs or foldable furniture. This way you can also keep changing the décor and give a different look as suited.

Wall units in the living room need to be uncluttered and instead of going for the clichéd wall units the idea can be used as individual stands. This can be located for keeping ornate items, television, DVD player or the music system. The color of the wall has to complement the wood work/color of the cabinet. While choosing rugs or wall hangings go for individual ones with very soft colors. Loud or too eye catchy colors will occupy space.

Do not be passive. Be active and get involved as much as you can while decorating your room. Do not allow others to make choices for you. This does not mean that you do not take other people’s choices and opinions. Suggestions are always welcome but your involvement and decisions plays a big role as well. Plan everything well and as a part of this it is important that you do not buy paints first. It is important that you choose your furniture, your upholstery and fabrics first and then decide on the paint. Planning well is half the task done as far as decorating your room is concerned.

Never buy paint or fabrics at your first visit in the store itself. It is always preferable to ask for samples and see which one suits best in your home. Check them out in the lighting at your home and also in natural lighting. It is not necessary to go for simplicity. I have heard this from many people that one should paint walls with light colours and keep it simple. However, this is totally untrue if you are somebody who loves bold colours. Go ahead and paint that wall black and red if you feel so. What is important however is to colour coordinate and understand the use of space and the psychology of colours. Keep something that you will love for years to come as you may not be able to change the colour of your wall so often. 

Three areas of the bathroom need special mention; toilet area, mirror area and shower. One of the cardinal rules of bathroom decoration is more neutral shades of tiles are, better it will look. Soft shades give it a descent touch. Many people prefer to have patterned tiles. For them it is best advised to use pattern as border. Try to ignore white tiles if possible. Colorful tiles will suit much better to the bathroom.

Sink is best used with a cabinet under it. The cabinet can go to the entire length of the mirror. Standalone sink wont suit a small bathroom unless it is very plush one. One can use several useful things like toilet cleaners, toilet paper, and waste basket inside the spacious cabinet. Drawers are other wonderful options to have in the space.

Mirrors play an important part in the overall scheme of the things. Best placed on a wall, mirror looks best with no frame. Many bathroom mirrors have cabinets but that makes small bathroom even smaller. So try to avoid cabinets in mirror. The bathing area should always be separated from the rest of the bathroom because of water logging issue. Have just one shelf in the bathroom and a towel rack. Following these tips is sure to make your bathroom look neat, clean and well managed.
