First of all, I want to give a special shout-out to my friend on face book, Pea who has gobs of the coolest friends and have had some fun convos about my last post about bathrooms that sometimes look more like living rooms, or in one case, a dining room. haha!
Well… I’m not through. Today, I’m going to discuss some bathroom art ideas you’re gonna love and not just because they’re great ideas, but just because… ;]
Before I get started with the art, here are some valuable tips to get you on your way.
- Walls in bathrooms are usually small, however it doesn’t mean the art has to be small
- On the other hand, groupings of small prints are especially pleasing
- Art is a great way to introduce color in an all-white bathroom, or else blend in with a monochromatic color scheme
- If you choose to paint your walls a very dark color, choosing light-colored pieces is a great way to lighten up the room
- bear in mind that a humid bathroom is probably not the place to hang a precious oil painting. [duh]

Love the use of this fabulous painting as a type of privacy. Otherwise, this bathroom is not my favorite.
Don’t recommend laying your art and mirrors on the bathroom counter like this unless you don’t mind having to re-frame them every six months or so. Nice look, however, just not on the bathroom counter.
This is Darryl’s bathtub. Yes… I know… Â I do love Darryl, however.

I love this mural.
Source unknown- Busy, but I kinda like it
Alright.
The toilet is said to be made by Thomas Crapper. Did you know that there was such a person? Now, I know where sitting on the crapper came from. haha! Seriously, you can’t make this shit up. ;]
And old map makes for a lovely backdrop here.
This one’s got it all and really lovely colors. I like the painting as a cover for the TV. But really. Why bother? I know that I would be clunking myself in the head all the time. Love the mural on the right.
small and charming
I wish that this photo were of better quality. But I couldn’t resist because the colors are beautiful
Gorgeous bathroom. Hideous painting. I mean… I want to like it and a part of me does. I like the idea of it.
Where’s the art here, Laurel?
On the floor! In fact, notice how many of these bathrooms have not only hardwood floors, but also fine rugs. I have had one or two clients put in a hardwood floor in an old home they were renovating. Lots and lots of poly and just be careful. It really warms up the room.
Quite frankly, I’m not a fan of these types of free-standing tubs. I think that they are a fad. And I’m not crazy about the way this room was styled. The window treatments are lame. However, the art is very nice and unusual that it’s hung on the stiles instead of in between them.
Neo-Classical
Really pretty.
Exhibitionists
He’s French and that’s all I have to say about that. :]
I adore this designer.
Handsome. Really well-done.
Don’t know what’s going on with this image, but cool ideas. Could even be a sophisticated kid’s bathroom

I think this would make a great kid’s bath.
From my post about the best Benjamin Moore no fail gray paint colors for bathrooms.
From a very old post. This might possibly my absolute favorite bathroom–ever.
This ends with another shot of this magnificent bathroom with beautifully staged shelves that mimic the window shape.
Which bathroom did you like best? Which did you like the least?
xo,
