Are you looking for a few fun (and easy!) ways to update your bathroom? Ditch the heavy-duty work–these three unexpected accent pieces will bring your bathroom to life!
Sometimes the thought of updating your bathroom can be overwhelming. Painting can be messy and heavy-duty construction can leave you bathroom-less for weeks!
At !nspire we’re all about swapping accent pieces to make an impact, but this time we’re going a step further and experimenting with pieces you wouldn’t typically find in an ordinary bathroom.
With that said, here are three unexpected accent pieces that you MUST try in your bathroom this season!
Unexpected Piece #1: Standing Mirror
Got a spacious bathroom? A standing mirror might be the unexpected accent you need!
A mirror placed over the sink is a staple in every standard bathroom, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Making a statement with your bathroom mirror is easy!
Between different shapes, sizes and frames made of wood, glass, wrought iron or even chrome, the style opportunities are endless and can give your bathroom a quick update for a fresh new feel.
But it doesn’t have to stop there!
Experimenting with mirrors in the bathroom is the best way to create the illusion of extra space, which is especially important in basement apartments or bachelor suites.
Rather than hanging pictures, opt for mirrored pieces or tiles that bring an element of openness and lightness to the space.
For an unexpected twist, we love the idea of incorporating a standing mirror in the bathroom. It’s an interesting addition you don’t see often but works beautifully if you have the space.
The Tulip Mirror in white is a sculpturally unusual piece that would be perfect in a modern bathroom to complement the décor scheme. Not only is it gorgeous, it allows you a full body view so you can perfect your look before jetting off to work!
Unexpected Piece #2: Console Table
Storage in the bathroom is key. Between bath towels, makeup, hair products, soaps and other toiletries, it can often be challenging to find the extra space.
Shelving is always an easy option, but do you really want to have your toilet paper and air fresheners on display?
While console tables and cabinets are usually found in the living room, bedroom or den, we love the idea of including these pieces in the bathroom to make a unique statement.
The Bristol 1-Drawer Cabinet is a beautiful and functional accent piece that fits beautifully in the bathroom!
Opt for a snazzy cabinet to hide toiletries, perfumes and air fresheners.
Its deep drawer is ideal for makeup and personal products, while the cabinet space is great for storing extra toilet paper.
Looking for that extra style injection? The mirrored door front with laser cut wooden overlay is a unique touch that has the ability to make every bathroom feel special, making it a must-try accent piece this spring!
Unexpected Piece #3: Coat Rack
A coat rack in the bathroom? You’d be surprised how helpful it is!
Many people have a hard time seeing the coat rack as a staple in home décor, but with the recent updates in style, structure, material and overall unique look, we’ve embraced the coat rack as a must-have item of 2015—yes, even in the bathroom!
Frankly we were so tired of seeing towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door, or worse—bathroom door knob—that we decided to try moving the coat rack into the bathroom as a solid solution.
The Orin Coat Rack is an example of a unique and modern option you’ll be proud to showcase in your bathroom or powder room as a stylish place to hang your towels and bathrobe. It’s also a helpful spot to hang your clothes while you bathe or get ready in the morning.
With its touches of white and chrome, this beautiful coat rack blends seamlessly with upscale bathroom décor making it an exciting trend to watch this year!
