You're Bathroom Vanity the life of the party

By Antonio A. Zidan

The number one element to your bathroom is a bathroom vanity. It is also the main piece of furniture in your bathroom. It is the main decorative item but the toilet and tub are permanent fixtures due to the layout of the pipes.

Your restroom is the one spot in your home that your guests are going to visit alone, which means that they will not be distracted by conversation when observing the way you decided to decorate it. Plus, since as mentioned, checking your appearance while washing your hands is a habit, the bathroom vanity may be the most acknowledged wall decoration that you own throughout your entire home no matter what your decorating tastes are like.

In the overall design of your indoor outhouse realizing that the bathroom vanity is the most important item is key. This is because it is the only item that you can control the size of. It might sound strange but your shower, toilet and sink are actually considered bathroom furniture. When putting your indoor outhouse design on paper you need to keep in mind that the furniture will not be changed out as often as the mirror or vanity would be because of the layout of the pipes.

The wrong size bathroom vanity can throw off the entire balance of a room, so you need to pick a mirror that fits accordingly above sink in your bathroom. A standard role of thumb to follow is to size your mirror according to the size of your sink, choosing a slightly smaller mirror if you have a large sink, and a larger mirror if you have a small sink. The idea here is that you do not want to overstate either item, so you are in essence aiming for a delicate balance.

Many people like to use a comfortable theme for their indoor outhouse which typically includes some type of floor rugs and possibly privy seat covers. The most popular paint tones generally used are warm earth tones which usually coordinate with a variety of woods quite well. In order to bring your entire indoor outhouse theme together you should pick out some type of wood trimmed bathroom vanity. If you want a more natural theme you could add some brighter colors such as greens, reds, or blues.

When you head out in search of accessories for your theme you will need to look for those types that will match well with the wood theme of your bathroom vanity. If you wanted to add a personal touch you could pick up some type of nature themed item to place on both sides of the vanity mirror. This can add an outdoors feeling throughout the indoor outhouse and accentuate the detail used for the frame of the mirror.

By adding a towel rack that is made out of wood or some other natural material it will blend well with your bathroom vanity. This will aid in tying the bathroom theme together. If you pick a vanity that stands out from the overall theme of your indoor outhouse it can cause a distraction for your guests. So be sure that you choose the right vanity for your specific theme. - 15252
