You will see a number of great bathroom sets around today. These provide coordinated items so that you don’t have to worry about putting together items from different ranges. If you are decorating your bathroom from scratch they also provide a wonderful starting point for your room scheme and with the help of the guidelines below you will be able to put together your new bathroom decor in no time.

1. Start with a Bathroom Set You love

Choose a bathroom set which goes well with the fittings, tiles and furniture already in your bathroom. You will probably find it easier to decorate your bathroom if there are coordinating items such as embellished shower curtains or towels in the range so choose one containing these items if you can. If your set doesn’t contain a shower curtain (and you need one for your bathroom) choose both your shower curtain and your bathroom set together to make sure they will complement each other.

2. Paint Color

If you chose a patterned set, take one of the light colors from your bathroom set or shower curtain and use it to select paint for the bathroom walls. If your bathroom set and shower curtain are plain choose a coordinating color. Choose your paint with the aid of paint color charts or take one of the items with you when you go shopping for paint.

3. Window Treatment

In a small room it’s important not to have too many colors or patterns competing with each other but some pattern is good to add interest. If your bathroom is simple and you chose a plain or metallic bathroom set, pick an interesting pattern for your bathroom window treatment. If you have a lot of pattern in other items however choose a plain coordinating blind or curtains.

4. Rugs and Towels

Add some richness and depth to your color scheme by choosing bathroom towels and rugs in a slightly deeper shade than the main color your have chosen for your other bathroom items.

5. Accessorize your Bathroom

By choosing a bathroom set you have most of the accessories you need for your bathroom and it’s important not to add too many in a small room if you want to avoid a cluttered look. It’s great however to add a few personal touches of your own – a pile of soft towels in a couple of coordinating colors, a vase or picture on the wall can provide an additional lift to your room scheme.
