The bathroom is often the last room to get any wall art, but the right painting can make it feel considerably more finished. Here's what to consider when choosing a bathroom painting for your space.
Consider the Room's Style First
The right piece depends largely on the type of bathroom you have:
- Coastal or contemporary bathrooms suit nature imagery or abstract pieces that enhance the airy, relaxed feel of the room
- Traditional or minimalist bathrooms benefit from artwork that adds visual depth and warmth without competing with the existing fixtures
- Bolder, more playful bathrooms can carry pop art or abstract colour well
Our Bathroom Art collection covers this full range, from serene nature scenes through to more vibrant abstract pieces.
Hand-Painted or Print: Which to Choose
Bathroom art at Artspire Gallery is available in both hand-painted and print formats. Hand-painted pieces offer visible brushwork and natural texture, giving the room a more artisanal feel. Prints provide the same designs at a more accessible price point, which is a reasonable option if you'd rather not commit a larger budget to a smaller room. Both formats are worth considering before you decide, since the right choice often comes down to budget and how much texture you want on the wall.
A Few Practical Considerations
Bathrooms come with their own set of requirements that other rooms don't:
- Choose a spot away from direct water contact, such as beside rather than directly above a shower or bath
- Keep proportions in mind, as a smaller powder room generally suits a single, well-placed piece rather than a gallery wall
- Think about ventilation in the room generally, as good airflow helps protect any artwork over time
Finding the Right Piece
A good bathroom painting should suit the room's style, hold up well over time, and be something you're happy to look at each morning. Browse our Bathroom Art collection online, or set an appointment with us for an art consultation and advice.
