40 Wow-Worthy Bathroom Decorating Ideas and Tips

If you're lucky enough to have a generous en suite, embrace a spa-like design with a freestanding ladder. In this soothing main bathroom, the effect is almost immediate, as the ladder puts fluffy towels and robes within arm's reach of the soaking tub.

Bold floral wallpaper will instantly transform your bathroom into a feast for the eyes. Take cues from this eye-catching space and layer on a round mirror and round sconces so as to not obscure an inch of the impressive and colorful pattern.
