Towels to Storage: Four Bathroom Accessories for a New Look

Bathrooms can be challenging to decorate. Especially since the bathroom is where you tend to hide all your hair accessories, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies. When people decorate, paint is usually the first thing they think of - it's easy to change the color of your bathroom, and in so doing, transform its look. Also, nothing looks quite as nice as a fresh clean coat of paint. But if you're not ready to make such a drastic change or put quite so much work into decorating your bathroom, there are other options. Here are four bathroom accessories that will change the look of your room:

1. Towels. If you're looking to make an inexpensive, yet versatile change, decorate your bathroom with towels. You can use crisp white towels to give your bathroom the appearance of a luxury spa. You can try towels with patterns or prints that go with a theme. For example, if you're going for a spring-garden look, you could try towels with a butterfly design. Give your bathroom a more elegant appearance with embroidered towels, or towels that have braided edges. And by installing a second towel bar, you can add visual interest to your bathroom for about two dollars. By using bathroom accessories like towels and towel bars, you can transform your bathroom without ever picking up a paint brush.

2. Decorative Switchplates. Unless you're a hardware store junkie, you may not even have known that bathroom accessories like decorative switchplates exist. In the world of bathroom accessories, decorative switchplates are surely one of the most unusual, but they can give your bathroom a different look. They come in different sizes, shapes, and themes. Some are kitschy, like the switchplates with cats on them. Other switchplates are formal, like the ones in antique brass.  And if you're doing one wall all in mirror, there are even beveled mirror switchplates to fit right in. Whichever you choose, these bathroom accessories can make all the difference in achieving the look you want.
