Your bathroom works hard: It’s there for you in the morning when you’re trying to paint on a cat eye while drinking your coffee, and it’s there for you after a long day when all you want to do is sink into a bubble bath with a glass of wine. If a season of summer vacays has you missing those luxe hotel spas, why not treat yo’ self to some serious pampering and transform your bathroom into your own personal sanctuary. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to mix and match practical and stylish accessories to create a bathroom with major chic factor. Whether you’re picturing modern monochromatics or preppy pastels, scroll on to see how we’d style the bathroom for the boho-chic babe, the minimalist and the preppy gal.
HOW TO DECORATE A BOHO-CHIC BATHROOM
Glam up your boho-chic bathroom with pops of turquoise, gold and copper accents and a hanging plant or two. Make sure there’s plenty of stylish storage via wire baskets for towels and clear glass boxes to display your jewelry. Pick up a wooden tray and keep it stocked full of spa-day essentials like rose face mist, for those times when you just need a quick refresh.

HOW TO DECORATE A MINIMALIST BATHROOM
Work some decor magic by combining a classic minimalist look with modern accents, like a bold beaded chandelier and a hanging mirror. Leave your towels out to hang high and dry with a black storage ladder, and keep dirty clothes off the floor in a graphic laundry basket. Accessorize to your heart’s content with mini planters, cute ring dishes and a candle to set the mood. Make sure you don’t forget to add the texture with a patterned rug and a rug that spells it out, courtesy of Queen Bey.

HOW TO DECORATE A PREPPY BATHROOM
Inject color into your morning routine with all things polka-dotted, pink and preppy. If you’re craving a bathroom that will really get you going in the a.m., stock up on all kinds of glam accessories, like a prism mirror and chic stoneware soap dispensers. A fab faux fur stool makes the perfect perch for trying out new makeup looks, and a cute lidded trash can keeps rogue Q-tips and cotton balls in check. Finish off the look with a hot pink candle and a sequin basket for miscellaneous beauty products.
