BLACK IN THE BATHROOM

Black... a much debated color to use in any room really. But, an already small space like a bathroom? I think absolutely, yes! Lonny Magazine does too. They featured not one, but two fabulous black bathrooms in their latest issue. Including this one below which has my jaw resting on the floor...

I simply adore the faux croc wallpaper. This next bathroom strikes the perfect balance, and is utterly feminine yet still bold and cozy...

for a little extra glamour... go with high gloss- its showstopping, no?

GLAMORIZING YOUR BATHROOM

Its the little luxuries around our homes that make them spaces we love to spend time in.

Preparing for our day- and likewise unwinding- in a space that is so lovely it inspires us to feel the same way is easy and attainable for any bathroom, on any budget...

add a large mirror that you love. thrift one, paint one you have stored in your garage- or if you want it to be that one statement piece, find one you will have forever!

a chandelier. an ultimate statement of glamour, you can find chandeliers for as little as $35 at Ikea.

pretty curtains. if you have windows, or instead of generic bath curtains, find a drapery the looks and feels sumptuous!

if your thinking of taking on a larger project - add a little sparkle...

...or choose a tub with character.

make a special little spot for yourself. reupholster an existing bench you have around the house, add a little vanity-top, and use a few pretty containers for makeup brushes, a tray for perfumes, etc.

flowers. isn't every space a little prettier with some blooms?

finally- a well stocked bathroom. its nice for you and your guests to have everything you/they need provided right there in the bathroom. trays are great for a little styling, and a freshly folded pile of white towels is inviting.

GREY + ORANGE: SUBTLY BOLD

The past 6 months have been all about gray and white for me. The cleanliness, openness, and freshness of this palette keeps me coming back for more. However, without a little pop of color here and there - theres nothing to break the eye. I'm starting to think a subtle orange might not be a bad choice...

I am absolutely enamored with this bathroom!

TRENDSPOTTER: BATHROOM GALLERY WALLS

... and you thought they were only for living rooms, hallways, and offices!

A few more mirrors not only provides the illusion of more light in a usually small space, but also a visual dynamic. The mix of mirrors is beautiful and fun alternative to an already current trend!
