Bathroom decor ideas are where most renovation or design projects find their first step, and where the real transformation begins!

While the rest of the home holds as much importance, glamorously styled bathrooms complete that outlook, taking modern home design to its finish line. At Alive Studio, we believe detail-oriented decor elements can help you do exactly that!

Hence, we have curated a few decor and styling tips directly from our Principal Designer and Architect – Anupam Singh, that can truly spruce up your bathrooms.

Whether it is a complete makeover or bathroom accessories ideas, these tips can help you with both. 

1. Maximize your storage space

It is easy for our bathrooms to get cluttered with products and accessories which is why adding as much storage space as you can is the place to start a renovation. 

The most helpful step can be mapping out the storage that can be created, in a way that your bathroom feels larger and isn’t as prone to clutter. Consider organizing vanities to meet your storage needs through additional shelves or drawers. 

A must-know bathroom design tip is to balance the ratio of adding storage and built-ins for achieving a clean and balanced-  bathroom decor.

2. Decorate with your personality

Bathrooms are spaces with immense scope for experimentation in terms of basin accessories, fixtures and textures. Aim for a seamless look delivered through natural marble or a more creative blend of many textures, the space should reflect you eventually. 

Simple bathroom ideas like adding flowers for a welcoming touch or lamps and ambience creating candles can work wonders for modern bathrooms. 

Fixtures are also a great point to start as you can go for bold colours, say brass or gold, or a more toned-down look achieved through stainless steel finishes. 

3. Ambient Lighting is a must

It is amazing to witness the wonders that the right kind of lighting fixtures can do to spruce up your bathroom!

Warm colour temperature wall lamps or pendants above the vanity have been our go-to design element when it comes to designing bathrooms. They will not only enhance the complete look of the space but rather illuminate it in a more intimate manner. 

While we can’t put enough emphasis on understanding lighting needs when it comes to interior design, bathroom set ideas are definitely a great place, to begin with.

4. Invest in bathrooms fixtures

A complete experience of any bath comes from fixtures that work to your comfort and luxury. 

Shower systems, basin mixers and even water closets or whether you need certain fixtures like a bathtub or not, come from your need from a bathroom. A well-designed bathroom or well-executed bathroom setup ideas cater to all of them and more. 

With Alive Studio Interior designing service, we decode our client’s needs to understand the kind of systems that would be installed in their space and induce true luxury eventually. 

5. Great bathrooms are about details

Luxuriously designed bathrooms are spaces that focus on key details and washroom decor items, in immense detail. 

Adding grab bars, niches in the shower, functional accessories, hidden storage and so many more design elements that a bathroom has to offer can be added to enhance the overall experience.

This rule of thumb applies even when selecting materials or bathroom decoration items, say skid-free tiles, warm textures, full-length mirrors, and cabinets behind mirrors are the details that take your design project to a successful finish line. 

6. Don’t forget to have fun

Bathrooms are the first space we go into after waking up and something you witness early in the morning, shouldn’t be anything less than fun. 

Don’t be afraid to experiment here!

Go with bold patterns or a jungle theme, even the most extravagant light fixture. More is beautiful and maximalism is the new trend to bring into your home, so start with your bathrooms. 

At Alive Studio, we love experimenting with bathroom decor ideas that involve biophilic patterns along with statement pieces that create a glamourous looking space, at every corner.

7. Think of it as a spa

Bath spaces are often designed to be just functional, but we propose a different approach. Think of your bathroom as a sensory experience defined by the right materials, texture and colours. 

Everything that you touch and feel in the bath space should add to your sensory experience, hence think of spa-like elements. 

Marble cladding and seamless marble floors are a loved palette when we often design such bathrooms.

8. You don’t always need a mirror

Here’s a twist in the story, you don’t necessarily need to put up a mirror above your vanity! Surprised, right? Give this revolutionary idea a try and replace your mirror with artwork. 

Having an additional long mirror already in the bathroom is a plus but this is something that could change the complete look of your bathroom, without doing a lot. 

We love this quirky touch of adding an art piece instead of a mirror. Go ahead and experiment with no mirrors or more than one mirror, there’s really no limitation!

9. Paint the ceiling red

Bold ceilings are definitely the kind of maximal elements we love! 

Paint your bathroom ceiling for it to highlight the entire space or throw in a little print up there, your bathroom would have a new life. 

While white ceilings are an all-time classic, we do like a trendy colour hanging onto the ceiling once in a while. 

Bathroom decor idea scan bring about a lot of change in the entire outlook of your home, especially when beginning a complete renovation. It can help you understand what you need better. 

We often suggest our clients list down materials, finishes and colours for us to spruce it up for them.
