Choosing the Best Artwork for Your Bathroom: Tips and Considerations

Preview

There's nothing quite like art to bring color and personality to a space. It's also a bonus that art is easy to switch out when the mood strikes. However, choosing the right type of artwork for a bathroom requires some thought.

Moisture can be detrimental to paintings and works on paper, potentially damaging matting and delicate frames. The safest choice is to opt for inexpensive, durable pieces that are replaceable. Consider framed photographs, prints, or prints on canvas with a latex coating. Ceramic or metal wall sculptures are also durable options that can look fabulous.

To further mitigate the risk of damage, keep the exhaust fan running during a bath or shower. When deciding where to place artwork, aim for it to occupy about two-thirds of the space above a feature like a tub or toilet. This placement helps to create a balanced and visually appealing atmosphere.
