Keep style or theme in mind: Keep in mind that the master bath is an extension of the master bedroom, so you should desire the feel of one space to flow effortlessly into the other. Achieve this by repeating style elements; for instance, if you love the look of painted cottage style wrought iron wall art that hangs in the bedroom, repeat similarly styled wrought iron accents in the bathroom.

Let color flow: Wall color choices from the master bedroom to the master bathroom should be harmonious as well, but they don’t have to be identical. For instance, if your bedroom has taupe walls with sand accents, utilize the same hue of sand for the bathroom’s wall and accent with the beige. Echo bright colors in accessories from the bathroom to the bedroom. Keep the wooden trim the same from one room to the next to lend more unity to the area.

Marry decorative with practical: Choose towels, washcloths, floor mats and shower curtains and accessories in your accent colors, and repeat them throughout the bathroom. Tidily rolled hand towels and washcloths placed in a decorative basket are practically placed while they also serve to add color and style. Color-coordinated baskets, trays and soap dispensers keep the look unified while giving you a place to store necessary items. Wall shelves take advantage of vertical space while offering stylish storage. Position necessaries like cotton balls and swabs inside lidded glass jars, then add a small sculpture, candle or figurine to bring style to functionality.

Exchange budget options with flair: There are numerous budget sources out there for decorative items that will add style to the home. Cheap fragranced votive candles in basic glass holders may be positioned on the tub’s edge. Large pillar candles, candle trays, and frosted holders become great accents on a countertop or window sill. Shop markdown sections of web-based retailers for great deals on wall vases, wall sculptures and other home decor and accessories. Consignment stores and antique shops are another great way to pick up home decor treasures at affordable prices.

Candle wall sconces, framed wall mirrors, old plates that can be displayed on a wall, vintage or glass wall shelves, wrought iron wall decor and metal wall art are are just some possibilities to add style, dimension and interest to the walls of the master bath. Use the photo of your designer inspiration room to direct you when choosing thrifty options that have the same decorative impact and style at a fraction of the price.

Simple window treatments: Budget flat-folding fabric or matchstick shades give you light control, privacy and great style at a very low price. They will complement nearly every style of decor, even though it is easy to place a valance or scarf valance as a second layer if you wish for a little more style.
