Deciding to decorate your bathroom in a southwest theme is exciting.
The bathroom seems to be an unusual place to decorate.
Just by choosing important elements, your room can go from boring to fabulous right before your eyes.
Your southwestern theme bathroom will become an area of warmth and hospitality.
Color is one of your first concerns.
It's smart to use the same color scheme for both rooms, if your bedroom and bath are adjoining.
And don't be afraid to use color.
Popular wall paint colors would be peach or turquoise and even a color from the orange family.
But you can go deep and dark as well.
It's really about what you prefer.
However, the space will appear smaller by using a bold or strong color.
If the bathroom does not adjoin a bedroom, then you're free to be as creative as you choose.
Another important factor to consider when designing your bathroom is the theme.
A southwest design has many themes.
Themes that are popular and considered southwestern would include Native American, Mexican, Spanish, western, cowboy and even country.
Think about the style you like the most and then choose a southwestern theme accordingly.
There's plenty of design elements you'll need to be aware of when making choices, even though normally, there aren't any large furniture items that need to be chosen.
Many times in our society today, decorators like to incorporate actual furniture pieces for the sink or vanity areas.
Bathrooms can be a lot of fun while you select unique southwestern accents and accessories.
This could include towels, the shower curtain and hooks or other theme bath accessories.
The toilet seat lid is often overlooked as a drab item, when in reality, it too can become a decorative piece of art.
In your southwest bathroom, you may wish to incorporate a beautifully painted toilet lid.
This always helps to tie all of the southwestern elements together.
Other elements to consider are the clothes hamper, rugs, soap dish and tumbler, trash can and actual artwork.
A large Indian basket makes an awesome hamper for your bathroom.
Mexican pottery or Native American art pieces would both work well as decor or for holding small objects on the sink or vanity areas.
Even the smallest details, such as the soap dish or a toothbrush holder should be chosen carefully.
Pieces of art can be used to create a wonderful look in your bathroom as well.
The beautiful art work is normally what actually helps to spell out the completed theme of the room.
Your next step would be to carefully select coordinating pieces of southwestern art based on the theme you've chosen.
Items should be chosen that can stand high humidity.
You might consider choosing items such as wall racks, plaques and mirrors if you are decorating in a rustic or western style.
A mirror is always a useful item in the bath and a western style rack could be used for hanging towels or robes.
An ideal item to use over top your bathroom sink would be a western style mirror.
The must have list is almost endless as you think of needed items to make your bathroom special.
Western candle holders can add stunning shadows and colors in the bath area.
There's nothing better than relaxing in a warm tub surrounded by candle light and listening to soft music at the end of a long day? Especially if you have a Jacuzzi tub, this would be just the thing to make your bathroom welcoming and relaxing,.
Most bathrooms have tile or laminate flooring.
You can dress your floor up using a western tapestry or rug.
A coordinating shower curtain is a must and remember the sweet little hooks can even make a statement.
There are many creative ways to use southwestern baskets in your bathroom.
Your washcloths and small hand towels can be rolled and placed in a basket turning the look from ordinary to spectacular.
Items such as soaps and lotions can also be at home in a lovely handmade southwestern basket.
So if you decide to decorate your bathroom in a southwestern style theme, it is certain to be an interesting area for you and your family and for guests who visit your home to enjoy.
