Beyond Bath Mats: Fresh Bathroom Accents

Bathrooms can feel so blah, so easily. By design they tend to be neutral and tiled, leaving a cold and sterile feeling. And, especially if you’re renting or not very invested in home renovation, why bother sprucing it up? You’re in there for a limited amount of time each day, and it isn’t exactly quality time. Well, there are several reasons. Adding a few dashes of color and style will make you feel infinitely better about your powder room, and since it is a room people besides you will visit, it could stand to look presentable. (Don’t be that person with a gross/depressing/weird bathroom!) By using accessories to spice up your space, the wow factor is far greater than the cost factor. Bonus- accessories are not cemented to the wall or floor, so they can easily be swapped out and can move right along with the rest of your furniture and decor should you change addresses. Check out a few fun pops for your potty and get some bathroom inspiration. Who knows, it just might become your new favorite room.
