What kind of art for bathroom?

[dr.girlfriend]

We are redoing a very small full bath.  Here is the moodboard:



And here's how it's actually looking so far (niche and bathroom floor still need to be grouted):




I am desperate for storage, so in addition to the small mirrored medicine cabinet I am installing this cabinet that looks like a picture frame kind of high up on one wall.  I am going to get a matching frame to hang next to it and a little lower so it doesn't look so weird perched up in an odd spot.


What kind of art would you do here?  I would have room for two prints up to 8x10.  I feel like a floral would be too much, but am not sure what would really "go" with the somewhat eclectic choices so far.  The bathroom floor tile was a last-minute sub for something more 1920s looking.  The shower wall tile has a sort of seashell-feel because the tiles are textured and some of them have like a silver iridescence to them.

Do you have any travel pictures you would want to frame, maybe in the colors similar to the bathroom colors, or at least complimentary?
I have some architectural detail pics I took on a Victorian House tour in SF years ago in frames in our guest bathroom that I love.
In another bathroom I bought the basic prints of two different tree leaves, so not quite floral.
In the kids bathroom, I did a loose science theme and got prints of some of the nebula images.

Etsy is a good place for inspiration. With your colorful tile, maybe water colors of nature, animals or birds? Prints or pieces of something that looks like a section of William morris wallpaper?
Geometric line work drawings.

I LOVE the floor! turned out great!!

I like the idea of an artsy beach-y/ocean view. or travel photos as PP suggested.

OK, so this just appeals to my sense of humor so take that for what it's worth ... do you have pets? Would something like this be fun for you?

On Etsy, you can find a print for just about any cat/dog variety you like. (Specifically, I stole these from www.etsy.com/shop/geministudio?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=506195621.)

Ha, I was actually looking at a lot of dog art, I think partly because the sample photos have dogs!  Only we have one dog now, and we had two before, and I don't know which one I would leave out.  :-)

In the end for now I've ordered prints of my kiddo at the beach, but in 5 x 7 with an 8 x 10 mat so they don't look so overwhelming in the small space.  We'll see if it flies, though, because he's a teenager now and may not want photos of his little kid self in there.  :-)

The beach pix should look great with your tile.

I think beach pics is a great idea. Or maybe a cool vintage postcard/mini travel poster kind of thing from places you've been?

And I really love that tile... it's gorgeous.

I was thinking travel pics, specifically beach photos (for water and blues). And yep, the colors in the ones you posted look great.

dr.girlfriend we have prints from Wes Anderson movies up in our bathroom ( a couple from Life Aquatic and one of RT.) I like quirky and they are fun
