Bathroom Accessories In Lavender
by Anna Hart
Description: How to update your bathroom decor with lavender accessories.
Bathroom accessories can make or break a bathroom's decor.
Bathroom accessories come in many styles. Bathroom accessories
come in many colors. The careful shopper will take time to
choose both the right style and the right color.
Bathroom accessories in lavender are an example. Lavender
bathroom accessories can be had in a variety of styles and a
variety of hues. You can find bathroom accessories in dainty
lavender flowers on pristine white ceramic. You can find
bathroom accessories in lavender wicker with chrome, brass, or
bronze bases.
As you seek out bathroom accessories in lavender, you will want
to ask yourself several questions. These will help you zero in
on what you really want before you begin shopping.
1. Color: There are many shades of lavender. Visit a paint
store and find the shade you wish to feature. Are you looking
for lavender blue or lavender green? You may remember the old
lullaby lyrics that begin with the words, "Lavender's blue,
dilly dilly, lavender's green. When you are king, dilly dilly,
I shall be queen." You may want to copy out the lyrics and
frame them for your bathroom wall. Set a theme with them, and
combine bathroom accessories in lavender blues and lavender
greens.
2. Style: Do you want bathroom accessories in lavender flowers,
or in abstract swirls? Do you prefer simple, clean lines, or
more ornate designs? Do you enjoy retro purple lavender or
watery, pearl lavender?
Think about the color of your walls and floor before you make
decisions on your bathroom accessories. Remember the secret to
ideal color combinations: the 60-30-10 rule. Use about 60
percent of one dominant color in your bath decor. Use 30
percent of a lesser color. Use only 10 percent of your accent
color.
In this case, lavender bathroom accessories will probably
comprise your ten percent of accent color. The lavender should
go well with the dominant and lesser colors on walls, floors,
and fixtures.
Bathroom Accessories in Lavender Flowers
If you prefer flowers, you might want to look for
lavender/purple flowers such as the following on bathroom
accessories.
1. Lavender itself – flowers from the herb
2. Lavender iris
3. Lavender and yellow pansies
4. Lavender wisteria
5. Lavender lupine
Other Bathroom Accessories in Lavender

flowers.
Dragonflies are often depicted in lavender on shower curtains,

the gossamer gowns and wings of woodland fairies.
Plain lavender bathroom accessories are readily available. The
color and style are simple and cooling. They blend well with
most bath decors.
Towels and rugs in lavender should match or closely complement
the hues used in your other bathroom accessories.
Budget Bathroom Accessories in Lavender

want to be creative by selecting objects such as a lavender
tumbler or simple vase for a toothbrush holder. Add a lavender
