Whether you are decorating a small bathroom for the kids or a large master bath, here are a few ideas for a bath-changing facelift! Tile Ideas for a New Look Of course, one of the easiest ways that you can spice up a bathroom is to use tile ... and there are many great bathroom tile design ideas at your fingertips. Instead of the plain shower area, you can go for a fun design that will really make the bathroom exciting. A great bathroom tile design ideas is to use heat sensitive glass shower tiles. These turn different colors based upon their temperature! When there is no heat, the tiles will be clear, but you'll definitely enjoy seeing the walls change when you jump into your hot shower!

This also gives it a retro theme. Brightly colored tiles in vibrant colors like fuchsia, orange, or chartreuse awaken the senses in the morning. Subtle or earth tones are for those who look to coffee for that awakening. Adding animal prints can give your bathroom a fun wild look, whether you choose snakeskin print, leopard print, or black and white zebra print tiles. A faux tiger rug might work here. Peruse local tile stores, the Home Depot, Lowes or search animal tiles, unusual tiles, retro tiles, etc. Here's a few more ideas: RUSTIC / TUSCAN BATHROOMS Keeping the Kids in Mind If you have kids, you may want to keep them in mind when you are redecorating or remodeling the bathroom ... especially if its their bathroom! To keep kids entertained, bright themes with vivid colors are great ideas. If your children are younger, going with bathroom themes that incorporate their favorite characters is a fabulous idea. When using character themes, don't forget to keep the bathroom tile design ideas in complimentary colors to tie the overall color theme together.
