Your bathroom is a small space, and every little decorating touch stands out. Here are a few tips for picking the right art for your W-C.

Choose good artwork. You might think of the bathroom as a less-than-ideal place to display your best artwork, but bear in mind that of all the rooms in your house, your guests are probably all going to see the bathroom at some point.

Think about your layout. Bathrooms face more space challenges when it comes to open wall space than you’ll find in most rooms in the house.

Match your theme. Does your bathroom have a specific theme? If so, a picture can serve to highlight and underline that theme.

Make sure pictures are well framed. Bathrooms are damp and steamy places, and excess moisture can get into the frame and ruin the artwork if your picture isn’t sealed.

Keep pictures out of direct light. Direct sunlight can fade a painting or picture’s colours dramatically.

Choose non-porous materials. Bear in mind that wood can warp and porous materials can absorb moisture, causing damage.

Set off your existing colours. Your bathroom art should provide a charming accent to the colours you already have in the room.

Choosing artwork for your bathroom is almost an art in itself. Choose colours that contrast attractively with your surrounding colours, while matching your theme. Take your time and choose artwork that highlights your theme and gives the room some personality, and chances are your guests and family will be impressed with your style.
