Art Prints For The Bathroom

WHAT KIND OF WALL ART CAN YOU HANG IN THE BATHROOM?

The simple answer is anything that catches your eye! But if you’re looking for recommendations and common practices, here are some things to consider when looking to choose bathroom wall decor:

• Framed Art Prints vs Canvas: An important thing to consider is whether your bathroom has a shower or tub and what ventilation is like. The humidity from steam and water can potentially over time cause a canvas piece to develop mold or mildew if left unchecked. When selecting a framed print, using a metal frame is recommended because it can endure big temperature changes in your bathroom.

• Small vs. Large: The artwork in any room should be proportional to the room itself. Most bathrooms tend to be the smallest rooms in the house, so a smaller piece of art might make the most sense. If you have a large bathroom, consider larger statement pieces if you like. Luckily, Minted’s art comes in all sizes so you have plenty of options to choose from.

• Choosing the Ideal Color: Just like it’s a best practice to tie living room art in with the existing colors of furniture or curtains, bathroom art should complement other colors in the room. Are colored tiles used near the sink or in the shower? Are there certain colors predominant with the towels? Take this color palette into consideration when selecting your art.

• Placement on the Bathroom Wall: Where should you hang your wall decor? There are many stylish ways to place your artwork. Consider placing your art in a location that can be appreciated as you enter or exit the room as a nice touch. You could also style it so that when looking in the mirror you appreciate the design in the reflection. This way when you or guests are washing hands or doing makeup, they get to experience the unique artwork.

LOOKS AND THEMES TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A BATHROOM ART PRINT

While our assortment of framed bathroom wall art includes many different styles and techniques (watercolor, illustrations, photography, etc), here are some popular looks to consider when shopping:

• Shades of Blue: Blue is a color we naturally associate with the bathroom - whether it’s because of showers and baths or nautical notions. Regardless of the theme you’re going for, we have designs that display the rich blue ocean, colorful coastlines, and cool turquoise lakes. Alternatively, choose handmade pattern work that includes interpretive abstract brushstrokes in deep blues or hues of blue-green. Consider arranging small diptychs or triptychs sharing the same color tones.

• The Human Form: There is certain imagery that just doesn’t seem like a good fit for a bathroom such as depictions of food. Figurative art that portrays the beauty of the human form does however seem like a logical match. You can peruse our hand drawings of silhouettes posing, vintage-like photographs of women diving, wading into the water and hanging out in groups, a painting of a surfer girl, and more. You and your guests will be left to interpret the story behind the artwork as an extra level of intrigue.

• Abstract: Minted’s abstract art for the bathroom inspires you to form your own interpretations. The unique colors and layers in our stylings can transport you to ocean waves, coral depths, or imaginative settings. You can always consider combining a couple of pieces of art that complement each other to create a chic art pairing.

• Botanicals and Greenery: If you already have hanging or potted plants in your bathroom or want to start a botanical theme, find designs that follow suit. You can choose a framed photograph of a modern-looking palm frond or succulent, abstract painted floral art, or a black and white watercolor of poppies to bring a little breath of nature into your decor.

• Typography: Including designs featuring words creatively put together using color, styling, and precise sizing can also work really well in a bathroom. We even have funny bathroom art that says “Let the good times roll.” Other typography pieces include inspirational quotes or cute “xoxo” abstract pieces. You can also create your own custom art too using the phrasing of your own.

• Black and White: The great thing about black and white art is that it pairs nicely with any color and decor theme. If you’re looking for a timeless piece that will go with any change in towel and bath mat color swaps or shower curtain upgrades, black and white might be the way to go. Minted has black and white photographs of the ocean and cities, beautiful paintings of natural landscapes, and charcoal sketches.

• Vintage: Bring throwback, bohemian, funky fresh vibes into your ensuite. Effortlessly cool, Minted’s vintage bathroom wall art options are varied in subject matter, from photographs of palm trees and botanicals to illustrations of people and flowers.

• Fun: If you’re decorating a child’s bathroom, it might call for a creative and special arrangement. Check out our special collection of children’s art prints, where you can find a wide array of paintings, drawings, and photographs that will match your little one’s favorite things. It might be animals (dinosaurs and giraffes), favorite hobbies (like skateboarding), or educational representations like the ABCs or colors.

YOU CALL THE SHOTS: CUSTOMIZE YOUR ART SELECTION

When it comes to bathroom wall decor, space is often limited. We understand that the customization of size and format is key for any room in your house, so we make it easy for you to personalize your selection through our online tools. You can pick the size of your artwork, starting from 5” x 7” up to larger proportions like 44” x 60” and 48” x 70”. For many stylings we offer, you can select the color theme as well, to ensure it complements other elements of the room. In addition to selecting either a print or canvas, you can also select from a wide variety of frame colors and materials to finish off the desired look.
