Inexpensive bathroom decorating ideas can make a big difference in the way your bathroom looks to a buyer. New towels, in current fashion colors, can cost as little as $5 a piece (Target, Wal-Mart, Ross, TJ Maxx). And they can have a huge impact.



If you want to sell your home for top market dollar, always remember that when you're staging, you're not decorating, you're marketing. Your goal is to show the buyer that your home is the perfect home for them.

Try some of these ideas to show off the best attributes of your bathroom.

Bath Towel Wrapped with a Hand Towel

How to Do It

• Walls were painted a neutral color
  
  
• The painting sets the color scheme and is hung above a towel rack in the most visible spot. The reflection in the mirror is a bonus

• Large red vase holds a long stem of ginger to add drama to this roomy bathroom and draw attention to the vaulted ceiling

• A sprig of ivy wrapped around a pretty candle shows off the left side of the large vanity

• Lush black velour towel is wrapped with a different textured red velour hand towel. Neatly fold the hand towel, wrap it around the middle of the bath towel and secure it in back with some large safety pins

Towels Tied With Tassels

How to Do It

• Walls were painted a neutral beige

• Artwork sets the color scheme: soft reds, golds and brown. Pictures are hung over the towel bars and are most visible on entry. Mirror reflects second piece of art and the other set of towels

• Shower curtain, small floral on the vanity, and towels coordinate with art

• Smaller hand towel (gold) is neatly folded in thirds and layered over darker towel (red)

• A large, chunky, rich looking tassel in deep red and brown is neatly draped over the towels and secured in the back with a safety pin

Dressing Up a Large Bathtub With Towels

How to Do It

• Even the most elegant jacuzzi style tubs will look stark and cold until softened with plants and towels. Start with a medium sized floor plant in the corner

• Fold a bath towel in thirds and roll it tightly. Repeat with a hand towel in a different but coordinating color. Stack them and tie with a sheer organza ribbon. The gold ribbon matches the bath fixtures

• Add two more small hand towels

Dressing Up a Large Towel Bar

How to Do It

• This black and white bathroom has a towel bar that's big enough for two bath towels. I like to put the darker towel on the bottom and layer with a lighter hand towel on top. Red gives it a nice punch

• Tie a sheer red organza ribbon all the way around the towel set

• Finish with a small green plant

Wrapping Up Inexpensive Bathroom Decorating Ideas

• Keep your color scheme simple and consistent with what's already in the bathroom. Usually one color and a neutral (black, tan, brown) works best

• Use only clean, new towels

• Fold towels neat and tight. Make sure to line up the edges

• Use only fresh, clean ribbon and tie a simple but generous bow
