Art...in the bathroom? Why not? You have chosen the artwork for the living spaces in your home with thought and care from the bedroom down to the dining room, but what about your bathroom? The bathroom is often overlooked as a place to display artwork, even though it’s a room that guests see and use frequently. There are some fears that keep you good people from displaying some type of artwork in the loo.
There are questions that you have to ask yourself before you go charging ahead and putting some seashell art in your bathroom. Treat it as you would any other bathroom. You can transform your bathroom into a conversation starter with your guests. So, do you prefer a bathroom that is serene and peaceful, bright and powerful, or playful and humorous? The right piece of art can elevate the mood of existing calming colors or tone down the influence of vibrant ones. Since bathrooms are smaller spaces just a single piece of art can make a big difference! Things to think about:
The biggest challenge that folks face when choosing art for a bathroom is finding pieces that are water and moisture resistant. In a well-ventilated bathroom, canvas prints even professionally framed canvas prints might be an option. You might also skirt the humidity issue by choosing inexpensive artwork that does not have great sentimental value. However, if you want an attractive piece of art that stands up to the humidity that has personal meaning to you and your family, there is another option to consider: metal prints.
Metal prints from Canvas Press are printed on aluminum with high quality inks. This combination of materials provides a color vibrancy and resolution that demands attention.
