ByMyProperty Life

The idea of adding wall art to an interior is undoubtedly a very personal choice. Some like to go with the understated look while others want a wide range of amazing pieces to be combined to create that perfect gallery wall. Then there are those who might not really be inclined to use wall art as decorative pieces and instead turn to ideas like wallpaper or just family photographs. But for the art aficionados and collectors out there, every blank wall is a canvas that reflects their taste and showcases their precious collection. But what about decorating the bathroom wall with artwork?

Wall art ideas for the bathroom again largely depend on the style of the room itself.

Much like in the case of interior design, wall art trends also change with time. Today, we flip through some of the best bathroom wall art ideas – from beautiful botanicals that are still as trendy as they were couple of years ago to inventive ideas that move away from the mundane.

Botanical prints have been a trendy addition in homes for a while now and that is going to continue in 2020 as well. Bathrooms ins styles like shabby chic, coastal, farmhouse, rustic and tropical look even better with the addition of these prints. Finding them is all too easy, there is a huge variety to shop from and you would not have to splurge a fortune either. Even if you do not know the ‘world of art’ too well, you just cannot go wrong with these nature-centric additions. There are even a few smart DIY ideas around that help you in making your own botanical prints.

Oversized Wall Art Trend

Much like oversized pendants, large wall art pieces have become a popular choice in homes for the past few seasons. Oversized wall art is a relatively subjective topic and while someone might find a certain artwork far too large for a room, others could feel that it looks just fine. Large wall art in the bathroom instantly grabs your attention, especially when they sit in contemporary spaces where there is very little else in the form of color and pattern. There are two decorating approaches you can take here – either use a wall art addition that brings new colors to the bathroom as an accent piece or one that only contains hues already present.

Inventive Additions Replacing Usual Art Work

Framed print, paintings and photographs are not the only options when you are searching for bathroom wall artwork. Ideas that venture outside the box like the breathtakingly beautiful shower backsplash in natural yellow onyx stone is as good, or even better, than any other wall art piece you can find. Apart from this you could also use custom creations in stained glass to add color and pattern to the bathroom and define its style. DIY art pieces, quirky collections and a whole lot more can be your version of ‘wall art’ in the bathroom.

    Architect: building Lab Our clients were young newlyweds who purchased this property in October, 2015. They were passionate about mid-century designs and all things retro and they had grand visions for their first home. They wanted it to be a standout in the neighborhood where they could entertain family and friends in style. After a thorough whole-house remodel and expansion with structural and foundation upgrades, the homeowners, who welcomed a new member (a baby boy) to the household, are now living in a completely transformed modern beauty with sleek and comfortable interiors and spacious outdoor areas. To Open or Close? We removed some walls and created an open and enlarged kitchen. To allow for maximum connection of the kitchen/dining area to the backyard, an existing post was removed and ceiling joists were extended to connect with a structural fascia. But instead of leaving a vast amount of common areas, we coopted some of those spaces to create an additional guest room/study. The same theme of openness and definition applies to the landscape design: low walls, hardscapes, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit define spaces for cooking, al fresco dining, play, and lounging. A Dining Pod
    In a bold stroke, our clients decided to forgo a formal dining area. Instead, they opted for a glorified eat-in kitchen with custom built benches and live edge waterfall table. This pod continues the strategy of capturing and articulating special areas within a large open concept. It is the core that serves myriad functions such as dining and entertaining, newspaper reading, and possible homework station in the near future. Master Pavilion A House Within A House: Instead of just expanding into the backyard horizontally, the ceiling of the newly created master suite was raised 4’. Since the addition called for reframing and building new foundations, building Lab’s designers made use of the opportunity to rethink the whole concept of this parents’ retreat. By raising the ceiling, and adding a long skylight above the head of the bed, the master bedroom is dramatically infused with natural light. The space feels expansive and tranquil, and this feeling is carried through in the master bath. The simple elegance of the master bath is achieved through both effective space planning and restrained material palettes. Most of the fixtures and cabinetry are installed on one side of this very long room. The walls on both sides are clad with Resysta®, a sustainable material made with recycled rice husks, salt, and mineral oil. The natural wood look of this cladding adds to the spa ambience and the entirely glass end wall creates a dramatic one-point perspective. All white console sink, cabinetry, and a sculptural tub complete the look.
