Step aside living rooms and offices — bathroomdecor ideas would like a word with interior design lovers. Too often this space feels neglected as a place to, uh...do your business. While that is what most of us do in our bathrooms, it's also a place where we freshen up, focus on our beauty and skincareroutines, wind down with some wine in the bath — you name it!
My bathroom is the place where I hit the 'reset' button on my days, so it makes sense that I want to feel inspired every time I'm in there. So while I'm working on sprucing up my space, I've come to learn that decor doesn't necessarily have to be overstated or way out of our budget. Simply adding scenic wallpaper or a sturdy over-the-toilet storage cabinet can completely transform your bathroom.
