Bold Bathroom Valance Ideas
Decorating a bathroom can be tough. There isn’t much space to work with other than the walls, which have been left free of tiles and these are usually reserved for paintings and mirrors. This means you have to get creative with adding accents to your bathroom. The items you need for the room anyway, like window valances and curtains, can be dressed up to make your bathroom look better for the small space that it is. If you want to make a big statement, try some of these bold bathroom valance ideas.
The first thing you can do is play around with patterns. Many bathroom curtains and valances have a light, soft, almost feminine quality. While this can be attractive, it doesn’t have a big impact on a room. In order to wow your guests with the appearance of your bathroom you’ll need to choose something unexpected.
The simplicity of this bathroom valance is enough to make a bold statement
Don’t be afraid to try bright, bold patterns in the bathroom. Considering that there isn’t room for much other décor you don’t have to worry about the space becoming visually cluttered.
Color goes hand in hand with patterns. Pastel colors and sheer valances are always popular for the bathroom. Go in the opposite direction of this trend by choosing a richly colored opaque valance. This is especially effective if the main color in your bathroom is stark white.
If you’re having a hard time picturing how to use color in your bathroom, consider the following setups. One bathroom is decorated in pale pink and yellow. The other is completely white other than a bold blue valance and a few other blue accents. The second bathroom makes more of an impact on the eyes because of the contrasting colors.
In fact, matching some other bathroom accents like a rug or toothbrush holder to the valance will help tie it into the room. It’s easy to find bathroom sets that contain accessories like soap dishes, lotion bottles, shower curtains, and so on at little cost. Many are available in solid colors and fun patterns that could be the perfect inspiration for your window valance.
A current trend in the bathroom is to use huge floral designs such a single giant tulip or poppy on the shower curtains. One way to make an impact with your bathroom valance is to pick out one or two of the colors in such a design and mirror them in the valance fabric. If you can’t find a two-color fabric that works, then choose a solid color and add a contrasting trim in the other color.
Another way to make an impact is with the style of the valance.
Most valances have simple gathered headings just like a curtain. However you could use a solid color valance with a tab top which gives a modern look to your bathroom window. Imagine a pure white bathroom with a bold fuchsia tab top valance with solid colored towels in fuchsia and black or gray and a matching gray or black slate floor. That will definitely make a splash!
For a romantic look with impact try a swag valance
If you prefer a more romantic look, add a more ornate swag valance but with a simple Venetian or roller blind. You can see an example of this in the romantic bathroom pictured here. You could also create this look on a budget with a length of voile draped over a pole creating a scarf valance.
Let your imagination run wild when it comes to these bathroom valance ideas. Try thinking of a few of your own, taking into account what your bathroom looks like now. You may find that the craziest ideas are the ones that work the best!
