Just like any other room in the house, the key to a perfect photo starts with the light.  A dimmer lets you shift the lighting from serviceable to sensual and installing dimmers is an easy and inexpensive upgrade. We like to use bright lights for hair and makeup and dim lighting for a chill end-of-day bath. In the bathroom, use sconces and overhead ceiling fixtures to have flattering lighting from different angles. And of course, there is always that statement-making chandelier over-the-tub look we can’t get enough of.

While wallpapering an entire bathroom can get quite expensive, you can delve into one of the newest interior design trends and simply paper the ceiling. Adding vinyl wallpaper to the ceiling is another great way to make a big statement that doesn’t feel as permanent! We suggest creating an accent wall with wallpaper, which will not only add character to the bathroom, it can also serve as a great backdrop for selfies.
