Wake Up Your Bathroom Decor With a Gorgeous Statement Wall

You might be tempted to play it safe when it comes to bathroom walls and opt for plain white tiles or just a simple lick of paint. But perhaps it’s time to unlock your creative side and install a wall with a wow factor, be it an intricate pattern of metallic tiles or a sturdy slice of decorative stone. Try just one wall of color or pattern, or go all-out on four walls with serious attitude and style. Keep the rest of your bathroom plain and neutral and let your wonder wall do its work.

Give the green light to glass. This decorative glass backsplash is a striking focal point in an otherwise plain bathroom and gives the room a sense of depth. Commission your own design for a pop of personality, color and style.


Stand out with stone. A large plane of beautiful onyx sandwiched between two pieces of glass makes for an extraordinary wall and shower screen in one. The earthy color palette and natural veining add just the right energy to pep up the plain space.


Pick a palette of colors. You might have thought that blue mosaic tiles have had their day in the bathroom, but one look at these energetic, “pixelated” walls will have you thinking otherwise. What looks like a random pattern of turquoise, indigo and white took skill and creative know-how to pull off, and the result is mesmerizing.


Try a striking wallpaper. Small bathrooms and powder rooms are sometimes the best places to go all-out on a fabulous and unusual wallpaper. This Cole & Sons Woods wallpaper, edged in LED strips, creates an ethereal ambience in the narrow space.

How to get started with wallpaper


Go for gold. Warm gold and copper accents are on trend this season, so a decadent baroque-style wall made up of tiny metallic mosaics like this one will propel your bathroom into designer-label league.


Make way for minerals. Bathroom walls have come a long way from the days of simply slapping on some paint or hanging tiles. This resin art panel has been digitally printed with an oversize image of a blue agate to give a fresh spin on the coastal look.


Unleash your creative side. If you’re a handy with a paintbrush, decorate a plain bathroom with a simple, striking image, such as this black tree silhouette (complete with quirky pigeon light). If you don’t feel confident, simply invest in a beautiful wall decal — just make sure it’s suitable for humid conditions.


Be brave with black. Monochrome bathrooms are timeless. Try turning the look on its head using deep charcoal highlighted with white, as in this bathroom with its stylish tiny brick tiles. It’ll stand out from the crowd (and show less dirt, too).

Pep up with a print. You can’t help but love this colorful glass screen packed with a print of sliced agates. The irregular pattern and dynamic hues bring the wood paneling and simple fittings to life for a fresh, organic ambience.
