Bathroom's with a fun twist.

FREE IMAGES

Most bathrooms in a home are just your average bathroom with a touch of paint or wallpaper and maybe an updated mirror. Here are a few that are anything but traditional!

It can be as simple as adding an older piece to your current home decor, or mixing great finds together to create a room filled with a vintage feel.

Don't feel rushed to find the perfect pieces, sometimes it takes a lot of shopping around, thrift stores, and flea markets to find that perfect one.

Mixing modern with vintage may be more of what you are looking for.

The fun thing about a vintage touch, is it is completely up to you! Add a few pieces, or make it a whole room of vintage decor.

Murphy Beds I Might Actually Use!

FREE IMAGES The idea of a murphy bed is a great option for those who are lacking in space, but it's hard to find one that actually looks comfortable! After doing some digging around, I actually found a few I might use:

This one feels open and elegant, but also looks like it would close up to look like gorgeous storage!

via inspirational-homes

I love the two tone wall to make it look like a different space, and the indents in the side for shelving use!

via hgtv

This one is styled perfectly for a great bedroom feel, but I can imagine once it's put away the possibilities are endless what you could do with that space!

via apartmenttherapy

This one is perfect for a more modern feel! What would you do with that blank white canvas once it's put away?

Walls that Make A Statment

FREE IMAGES Lately my eyes have been drawn to some great rooms that are making a statement and I am loving it! Whether they are bold, classy, or just downright elegant, it is nice to see someone take a chance and make something beautiful out of it.

This wallpaper would not be an immediate first choice for me but it definitely does make you stop and stare! Seeing it in this room really makes me love it more!

via jaquelynclark

A wall of windows is always eye-catching. The bold choice of black makes it stand out even more and I think it was a great choice.

Another non traditional wall paper in a room you wouldn't expect! Since bathrooms are small I tend to do with less is more in these areas but since the wallpaper has a lot of white space it really works here! I also like the simplicity of the color scheme.

Upholstery tacks are often seen on furniture, seeing it as a wall decor statement is something I've never considered.

What about painting the trim to match the walls?

Or making a small space really pop with a graphic wallpaper?

Do you have a different idea for a wall statement?

Scared?  Start with the guest bed bedding to try your hand at mixing colors.  From their you can build the confidence to work with larger spaces?

Anyone here a master at mixing colors?  Or are you afraid?

Going Grey

FREE IMAGES There's something to be said about the color grey, especially in a home setting. It isn't too feminine and it isn't to masculine. You can pair it with almost any color, and it leaves such a crisp clean look to it!  I'm a long-time fan, hubby is a little harder to convince.  He thinks it's boring...sigh...

In most cases, it goes great with keeping a room light and bright!

Grey can be very romantic and calming in the bedroom. I can imagine this is a such a soothing environment to fall asleep in.

Love the dark brown and gray

Taking A Minimalist Approach - clean and serene spaces

FREE IMAGES Sometimes I think we forget that simple can be just as beautiful as well decorated! With things so hectic in my life with the wedding right now, it's nice to see such simple, clean spaces.  Spring is also a great time to clear out clutter - so be a little more ruthless when you empty out those closets this season.

via BHG

This office space really inspires me to clear mine out a bit.  Less "stuff" means less distractions and therefore better focus.

via babble

I don't think minimal has to mean bare, just well edited and thought out.  It also calls more attention to the objects you do display, so they can take center stage.


via House of Fifty

Minimal also doesn't need to be white, light, or neutral. It's all about lines and your ratio of positive and negative space.

It makes me want to pick a room and see what I can do with it to make it as clean and uncluttered as the ones featured here.  Once we get back from our honeymoon - I think I will start with my office!
