Beyond Bathroom Wall Art: Pro Tips
ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her tips for designing a beautiful bathroom:
“Despite what is commonly believed, the use of stone and marble isn't the only way to create a luxurious atmosphere in the bathroom. Although the use of sleek materials is one way to achieve luxury, lightning and design share an important role. Try creating a focal point with statement lighting, and ensure the area around your mirror is well-lit. Complement your bright space with organic touches like live greenery and wooden details.”
The bathroom can be a place of self-reflection – literally and figuratively. Why not celebrate the natural beauty of the human body with a print that showcases the human figure? This concept is reflected in our "Abstract Figure" trend, curated by ElephantStock art director, Tirzah Goodman.

Black and White Bathroom Wall Art

Bathroom Wall Art Sizes
Because bathrooms can vary in size, it can be difficult to choose the correct canvas size. For long, narrow bathrooms, consider applying this tip intended for hanging art in hallways:
“IDEAL FOR THE HALLWAY: 36"X75"
Large wall art that measures 36 inches by 75 inches in height and width can create a polished, classic look in your hallway. This wall art size works well in long hallways as well as over your entertainment area.”
Still stumped? We’ve dubbed 52”x32” the “size that can’t go wrong.” Read more about this tip in our complete Wall Art Size Guide.

Bathroom Wall Art Canvas Shapes
Now that we’ve gone over sizing, it’s time to discuss your ideal canvas layout. If you want something sleek, simple, and timeless, you can’t go wrong with a rectangular piece of framed bathroom wall art. For the contemporary homeowner, we recommend a trendy multi-panel canvas with an asymmetrical pattern. If you’re looking for a shape that’s totally out of the box, our hexagonal layout is the ultimate statement piece. No matter what you decide, choose a shape that reflects your personality. The best bathroom canvas print is the one that feels right to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I decorate my bathroom walls?
A: There are tons of ways to decorate your bathroom walls. Our favorite method is, unsurprisingly, wall art! As we detailed throughout this article, wall décor is an underutilized solution to a plain, boring bathroom. Just like the rest of your home, your bathroom should represent your style. Consider hanging wall art anywhere you have blank space. You can still maintain a modern bathroom by adding tasteful décor. Even if you only have space for a small piece of artwork, even compact décor can make a significant visual impact.
Q: What can I hang on my bathroom walls?
A: You can hang anything on your bathroom walls that is resistant to moisture. Floating shelves with glass toiletry bottles can be hung above your toilet to fill the space with an aesthetically pleasing addition. You can also hang wall art, as long as it isn’t directly exposed to water. Our canvases are crafted with a water-resistant finish so that you can hang them in your bathroom without fear of moisture damage.
Q: Where should I hang pictures in my bathroom?
A: For optimum longevity, try hanging your bathroom wall art further away from direct moisture. If you have a separate, standing bathtub, you can hang your print over the tub as long as you leave enough space. Avoid the shower area, and consider hanging a piece of artwork above your toilet. If your bathroom is well-ventilated and you choose a water-resistant print (i.e., well framed or a water-resistant canvas,) you have more freedom on where you can hang your artwork.
Q: Can you hang framed pictures in the bathroom?
A: As long your bathroom is properly ventilated, framed artwork is a great option for bathroom décor! The frame and glass will add a layer of protection from exposure to light moisture. We always suggest framed artwork if you’re particularly concerned about your unframed canvas getting damaged. Plus, framed artwork can give your bathroom a chic, classic look! As long as your bathroom doesn’t produce excess steam, framed wall art in the bathroom is a win-win.
