10 beautiful bathroom wall decor ideas

Your bathroom might not be a central focus of your home, but that doesn't mean it has to look dull or drab. With these 10 beautiful bathroom wall decor ideas, you can turn your bathroom from simple to stylish. 

Whether your style is subtle or bold, you can decorate your bathroom wall with practically any type of art you might display in other parts of your home. However, some types of art aren't suited to a moist bathroom environment.

Types of bathroom wall decor

You'll find two main types of bathroom wall decor: prints and 3D wall art. You might choose to stick to just one or have some of both types of pieces to create texture and interest. 

• Prints: Prints of paintings, photographs or other artwork are ideal for bathrooms. They are usually affordable and stand up to the humid environment well when framed correctly. 
• 3D wall art: 3D wall art can take many forms, including signs and sculptural pieces. This type of art is usually more expensive than prints, but it's great if you're looking for a standout statement piece for your bathroom.

Bathroom wall decor ideas

Because you could choose from basically any piece of wall art to decorate your bathroom, it can help to narrow it down by making your ideas more specific. 

• Go with a theme: Some people like to stick to a nautical or ocean-related theme for bathrooms, but it doesn't have to be as on the nose as this. You could choose any theme, from football to flowers. 
• Stick to a color palette: You might prefer to mix the theme of the art on your bathroom walls but opt for a common color palette to tie pieces together. 
• Create a gallery wall: Gallery walls might be more common in living rooms or bedrooms, but they can look great in bathrooms too. They're especially effective in large bathrooms or those with a large, unused bit of wall space. 
• Use a statement piece: Rather than choosing a number of small works of art, you could stick with a single statement piece that is carefully positioned. Large prints and sculptural pieces make great statement items.

What can I put on my bathroom walls? 

Since it's a moist environment, you might be wondering what you can put on your bathroom walls without ruining it. It's safe to put prints on your bathroom wall as long as you put them in appropriate frames. Ideally, they should also have a waterproof backing. You can put unframed printed canvases in your bathroom, just hang them flush with the wall so moisture doesn't drip down the back. 

Avoid putting any original paintings in your bathroom because they are more susceptible to damage and aren't replaceable in the same way that standard prints are. By the same logic, avoid hanging expensive limited edition prints that you couldn't replace if they got damaged by moisture over time. Also avoid fabric wall hangings, as these absorb moisture from the air and may start to smell musty after a while.
