If you have a small bathroom, using the space above the toilet is essential as you can place shelves and have space for storing all kinds of accessories, or just decorate it and add a touch of modernity that can make a difference in your bathroom.
Many times we overlook the bathroom when it comes to decorating the house. There are many ways to decorate this space to make it aesthetic and functional. Using simple decoration elements you can create a cohesive look that fits your personal style. Here are 10 ideas to help you get started.
Ideas for decorating and adding functionality to the space above the toilet
Add floating shelves
Floating shelves are perfect for adding a touch of style and serving a functional purpose. Use them to store extra towels, decorative containers, or plants. They are an affordable option and are available in many different styles and finishes.
Display artwork
Displaying artwork above the toilet is a great way to add style to the space. Think of a beautiful piece of art that complements the bathroom’s design and use a simple frame to hang it. You can also use multiple pieces to create a gallery wall.
Hang a mirror
A mirror is a great addition to the space above the toilet. It can make the bathroom appear larger and provide extra space for getting ready in the mornings. Choose a style that complements the bathroom’s design and try to get a large mirror for maximum impact.
Add plants
Adding plants to the space above the toilet can give the bathroom a fresh and natural feel. Consider using simple vases with fresh flowers or small potted plants that are easy to care for. If you have enough light in the bathroom, consider using air plants as well.
Store toiletries
Often, the space above the toilet can be used to store items that are always needed at hand. Consider using a wall organizer to store extra toilet paper, soap, and other toiletries. This way, everything will be organized, and you will make the most of the space.
Use decorative containers
Decorative containers are a simple and affordable way to add some style to the space above the toilet. Use them to store items like cotton swabs and balls, or even to store extra paper products. Consider using clear glass containers for a modern look or go for some vintage-inspired inspiration.
Hang towels
Another great way to decorate above the toilet is with towels. Hang clean and neatly folded towels on hooks to achieve functional, but stylish, decoration. You can even use different colors and textures to add an extra touch of personality to the bathroom.
Another idea is to place two towel bars above the toilet, it’s a great and very original idea. Use the same wall and place one above the other, to hang more than one towel and make the most of the space if the bathroom is small.
Use hidden storage
In small bathrooms, space can be scarce. Consider using hidden storage options to make the most of the space above the toilet. Wall cabinets or shelves with doors are great for storing items you don’t want to be seen, like extra toilet paper or cleaning products.
DIY art projects
If you’re feeling creative, consider creating a DIY art project above the toilet. It can be anything from a simple watercolor to a more complex collage. It’s a great way to add a personal touch to the space and make it truly yours.
Lean a ladder with hanging baskets
You probably never thought of this elegant and modern option to add storage to the bathroom. Adding a wooden ladder with steps where you can hang small metal baskets is ideal for small accessories like jars, brushes, small plants, and it solves the space issue quite a bit.
Change the lighting
One last way to decorate the space above the toilet is to change the lighting. An elegant pendant or wall sconce can make a big difference in the look and feel of the bathroom. Consider choosing a style that complements the overall design of the space for a cohesive look.
Final words…
With a little creativity and some well-chosen elements, you can easily create an elegant and functional look above the toilet in your bathroom. Whether you choose to incorporate floating shelves, artwork, or hidden storage, there are many great options to choose from. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make the space your own.
