10 Good Reasons to Hang Art in your Bathroom
When you think about where you are going to hang your pictures, your sitting room, bedroom, or kitchen are probably the first spaces that come to mind. But what about the bathroom? Often overlooked, bathrooms are a great place to hang art, adding personality to an area that deserves just as much love as the rest of your home. Here are 10 good reasons why you should hang art in your bathroom.
- Make your Bathroom a Personal Space.
The bathroom is where you start and end your day, so why not make it a space which feels absolutely you? Hanging art that you love can turn your bathroom into a personal oasis, a place where you can unwind to read a favourite book in the bath at the end of the day and pamper yourself.

- Add Some Colour
Bathrooms sometimes feel a bit sterile, especially if they’re all white or neutral. Art is a great way to add colour. Whether it’s an affordable decorative piece of vintage art, a vintage print, a framed poster, a landscape or floral like this one, art can completely transform the mood of your bathroom.

- Express Yourself
Your bathroom doesn’t have to be purely functional; it can also be a reflection of your own personal style. It's the perfect place to put a collection of lots of disparate pieces which all have a meaning for you.

- Create a Focal Point
In smaller bathrooms, especially, it can be hard to create a focal point. Hanging a striking piece of art on the wall draws the eye and helps to create a centrepiece in the room, adding interest and depth to an otherwise plain area.

- Make Small Spaces feel Bigger
Art has the magical ability to make even the tiniest spaces feel bigger and more open. A well-placed piece can create a sense of depth and dimension, making your bathroom feel more expansive and inviting.
- Tie the Room Together
If your bathroom feels a bit disjointed, art can be the element that ties everything together. Use artwork to complement your existing colour scheme or to echo other design elements in the room, like tiles or textiles. I love wallpaper in bathrooms and a painting or print on top looks wonderful. @yellowlondon have used paintings so cleverly to tie things together in this beautiful bathroom @coombe.end using vintage paintings from Collins and Green Art.

- Elevate the Everyday
Bathrooms are often utilitarian spaces but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring! Hanging art is a simple way to take your bathroom from dull to delicious, making it a space you actually enjoy spending time in.

- Inspire Relaxation
Bathrooms are where you go to relax—think bubble baths, face masks, and unwinding after a long day. Art that inspires calmness like these beautiful prints is perfect.
