Decorating with mirrors, is always a good way to make a small room appear bigger and brighter, but in a bathroom, they have a real purpose too. In this bathroom, the wall of mirrors not only gives the room a dressing room-like feel where you could get ready for the day, but it hides plenty of storage. Create a link between your bedroom and adjoining ensuite bathroom by using similar design cues throughout both spaces.

• Then place key fixtures, particularly those that are “fixed” e.g. for plumbing purposes.
• Decorate a modern bathroom with framed black-and-white photography like this space from Brophy Interiors.
• The Art Nouveau time period is alive and well in this powder room belonging to Elizabeth Law of Elizabeth Law Design.
• A large soaking tub at the far end is anchored by an oversized black-and-white photograph.

This bathroom with uber slick features like a cocoon bidet, under vanity lights, and a “waterfall” bath with shower section will have him swooning away. If your bathroom has loads of wall or ceiling space, you can opt for large-scale vinyl stickers or decal logos to create a montage your boy can look at while soaping up. When you have a small space, you can opt for the obvious choice of using a plain color for the whole bathroom, or you can choose something special like this white and gray bathroom pallet. Combine the reflective qualities of the lights with plain gray walls, subtle natural toned wood vanities, and a clean and functional square basin.

Dark Statement Walls

Here, silk pinstripe wallpaper harmonizes with the funky marble floor in this Greenwich powder room designed by Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey. It was her design solution for the geometric challenge of the elegant yet slightly off-center leaded-glass window. In this space, an Art Deco-inspired mirror adds a sense of glitz to this room designed by Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller. The mirror and sink pop against the moody striated, hand-painted wallpaper and voluminous window shades.
