Ways to Display Art in a Bathroom

Bathrooms are often overlooked as a space for art, but they can be a great place to add a personal touch and create an interesting focal point.

Remember that bathrooms can be humid and moist, so it's important to consider how the art will hold up in these conditions. Artwork made from moisture-resistant materials such as metal, ceramic, or sealed photographs, or that can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth is a better option.These are just a few ideas, but the possibilities are endless. The key is to choose art that speaks to your personal style and complements the overall design of your bathroom.

Here are a few bathroom art ideas to inspire you:

Large-scale photography or artwork

Large pieces of art can make a big impact in a small space like a bathroom. A large photograph or painting can create an interesting focal point and add personality to the room.

Printed shower curtains

A shower curtain can be an unexpected canvas for art. You can choose from a wide variety of patterns and designs, from bold geometric prints to colorful landscapes. Wall-mounted sculptures: Sculptures made from natural materials, such as wood or stone, can add a sense of warmth and texture to a bathroom.
