Framed Artwork

The most common pieces of bathroom art you’ll find in many bathrooms are framed artwork and bathroom paintings. From photographs and watercolours, to oil paintings and canvas artworks, framed artwork are a great option to provide some artistry and elegance to your bathroom. Make sure you’re hanging them in prominent places for maximum exposure. Also be weary about where you’re placing your bathroom wall art. Ideally, you’d like to keep them away from places which are susceptible to water damage such as directly above the bath or sink.

Wallpaper

Wallpapers take a little more effort to install than simply hanging a piece of art up, but they can turn a drab space into one that oozes personality and artistry. Wallpapers come in many different patterns and styles. Imagine a bathroom with a beautiful floral pattern or a mural design on its walls. Wallpaper can deliver a visual that completely changes the style of your bathroom.

Tiles & Mosaics

Another inclusion in our list of bathroom art ideas are tiles and mosaics. Mosaics are a form of art with timeless appeal – the oldest mosaics date all the way back to the 3rd millennium BCE. Tiling and mosaics are a great way to make your bathroom floor stand out. They also can turn a relatively plain bathroom wall into an amazing looking art piece. Tiles are also easily installed in your bathroom, though mosaic art pieces may require the help of a professional.

Indoor Plants

Some people consider indoor plants to be a form of art – and we’re definitely in that group! Plants are a great way to bring some natural art into your bathroom. They’re bright, vibrant and are a welcome addition to any bathroom – big or small. As with all bathroom plants, make sure you choose plants that are suitable for the wet and moist environment of the bathroom such as Snake Plants or Monstera Plants.

Unique Lighting

Lighting is often overlooked as bathroom art ideas. However, unique lighting is a great way to add some style and artistry to your bathroom. For example, you can opt for a classic chandelier or fancy ceiling lights for a classic bathroom. On the other hand, you can keep it slick and sleek with modern, chrome lamps on the walls of your minimalistic bathroom. Textured or patterned window curtains are another option which spices up the way you light your bathroom.
