North Leeds Plumbing & Heating – Home Improvement and DIY Advice

It is somewhat surprising that everywhere in a house you find pictures, prints, photographs and paintings, apart from the bathroom that is. Whether it is because most homeowners think that steam will mildew or wrinkle a work, or that the bathroom is considered a purely functional area, remains unclear.
 
However, bathrooms are rapidly becoming the one room in the house where you go to relax and unwind. Where better than to study a piece of art in peace and seclusion than in the bathroom?

Furthermore, inspiring works will inevitably bring a touch of refinement to even the dullest bathroom.

If you have a large uncovered bathroom wall, why not pick out a large framed picture, lit by a recessed light? As a general rule, bright paintings work best, particularly when reflected in a mirror hung on the opposite wall.

If you have a reasonably modern bathroom, choose an abstract painting or a modernist portrait in bold primary colours. A simple frame will also enhance it as a focal point. Contrast it with bright white vinyl walls, while plants and ferns are also a good way to draw attention to the work.

Do not be afraid to build the entire colour scheme of your bathroom around one or two pieces of art. If modernism is not your favourite period, then choose landscapes and complement the bathroom accessories in shades of green. The same would be the case for seascapes. Blue shower curtains and bathmats would further enhance the nautical theme.
