Bathroom flooring is not only important for the aesthetic of the space but also for comfort and safety. Non-slippery, waterproof materials are a perfect choice. When it comes to bathroom flooring, matte materials are a good choice. They are designed to increase the grip of the feet to the ground, thus preventing domestic accidents.
Rubber floors are also a good call, being increasingly used in small bathrooms and other areas of the house. They are warm, waterproof, and easy to clean. The most common, though, are porcelain tiles, hardwood floors, ceramic non-slippery tiles, and decorative stones.
Check out the small bathroom flooring ideas we have selected for you.

1. Grey Floor Tiles

The best bathroom design is the one you feel comfortable in and reflects your taste and personality. If you like mosaic floor tiling, there are endless combinations of colors, shapes, sizes, and finishes. They can be made of real pebbles, travertine, or marble if you prefer natural stone tiles. But you also find them in ceramic, glass, metal, and porcelain.

You can match darker floor tiling with white wall tiles, and add some organic décor pieces, like wicker baskets and ceramic pots.
7. Vinyl Floor Tiles

Luxury vinyl tiles are ideal for bathrooms, because of their ability to resist frequent water spills. Cork flooring sheets are another flooring idea for bathrooms. They are resistant to mold and mildew and may be a smart choice for damp bathrooms.
9. Wooden Flooring
Reclaimed wood flooring is another great option, that can be complemented by subway tiles. But wood is not only great for floors and furniture; it is a great option for ceilings, with rustic elements for a stylish bathroom.

Top Picks
Best Overall: Sartaaj Floating Shelf
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Dimensions: 2” H x 24” W x 10” D
Weight Capacity: 20 pounds
Color Options: white, black, or brown
This simple floating shelf may look plain, but it has sophistication in its simplicity. Mount one or more on your wall to create long clean lines on your wall. At two feet long and ten inches deep, there’s plenty of room for showcasing your decor. While it’s made of manufactured wood, it’s finished with a laminate to create a smooth and uniform finish. It’s also thicker than other modern-styled floating shelves, giving it some bulk and heft that helps it to feel substantial on your wall. Additionally, it comes with all of the necessary mounting hardware, making installation quick and easy.
One drawback to this shelf is the weight capacity. It would be nice if it was higher considering the size of the shelf. However, the 20-pound limit should be plenty for displaying small decorative decor and picture frames. I just wouldn’t recommend using them to hold a book collection.
Add elegance to your room with this floating shelf. It comes in crisp white or dark espresso that is both styled with a design that mimics decorative molding. The curved carved design that wraps around the three sides of the shelf gives these floating shelves a traditional or craftsman look. However, it’s also timeless so that they would blend perfectly in a contemporary-styled home. These dark or white floating shelves have three mounting holes on the back for a secure hold. The shelf itself is made from manufactured wood, and it comes with the necessary mounting hardware. This narrow shelf is only four inches deep, making it perfect for smaller spaces. Try adding this shelf to your entryway, hallway, or small bathroom.
Unfortunately, the shallow depth does limit what you can display on this shelf. However, it has a weight capacity that gives you greater freedom in what you put on it.
For true sleek modern design, this glass shelf with metal accents. It’s perfect for use in a kitchen or bathroom where you need to hold several small items. In the bathroom, you could place toiletries, toothbrushes, and small bottles on it. It would make the perfect spice or condiment bottle shelf in the kitchen. Because it’s made of glass, it’s impervious to moisture and grease, making it more durable than a wood shelf. It’s also safe for installation on a tiled wall. The glass is tempered, ensuring it won’t crack or shatter with changing temperatures. The metal rail holds everything on the shelf, ensuring that nothing accidentally falls off.
The drawback of this shelf is that it’s glass. This makes it heavier than other shelves. The metal bar will also make it more challenging to clean, and cleaning is a must because the glass will show obvious collecting dust, dirt, and dander.
Best Full Wall Display: Tuncer 9 Piece Acrylic Floating Shelf
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Dimensions: 3.9” W x 3.9” D
Weight Capacity: Eight pounds
Color Options: Clear
This set of nine acrylic floating shelves will give you plenty of freedom to arrange them in your home. You could mount them all on a single wall for an entire wall display. You could separate them and mount them throughout your home. Place one in your bathroom by the vanity to hold your toothbrush, one on the wall next to your bed for your cell phone, in the living room as a convenient remote station, in the kitchen as additional storage, by the door to hold small items, or anywhere else you need a small space to put stuff. The clear acrylic keeps them looking minimalist and unobtrusive. Installation is simple thanks to the included hardware and two screws mounting system.
The problem with acrylic is that it tends to scratch easily. Making it less than ideal for uses where it would take a beating. I wouldn’t drop your keys on it every day.
Dimensions: 11.8″w x 9.8″d x 2″h., 15.75″w x 9.8″d x 2″h., 19.7″w x 9.8″d x 2″h., or 23.6″w x 9.8″d x 2″h.
Weight Capacity: ten pounds
Color Options: Teak wood
Instead of having just purely functional floating shelves, consider these one-of-a-kind options. They are sold separately, so you could have a single wood shelf or have a set of wooden shelves. Each shelf is made from solid wood that is natural and made from reclaimed wood. They have an earthy look, with no two shelves being exactly the same. The live edge of the shelf adds a touch of nature and an organic feel to your home. The mounting hardware is just as unique as the shelf. You’ll easily mount the bracket on the wall and then slide the shelf onto the bracket.
Unfortunately, because these shelves are handmade, you won’t know exactly what you’re getting until it arrives. However, West Elm is reliable for consistency of quality, and their customer service is responsive should you decide your shelves aren’t you’re favorite. The uneven edge can also restrict what you put on them since they don’t have a uniform depth.
Add an industrial feel to your home with these floating shelf kit that comes with two shelves. It’s nice that you get double the display space for the work of one. Unlike other floating shelves on this list, the wooden floating shelf floats on a decorative pipe frame. This set comes as a part of an entire line of shelving units, so you can easily outfit your entire room in matching pieces for a cohesive look. The slightly rustic and vintage feel of these shelves are perfect for a living room, bathroom, cafe station, or kitchen. While the entire unit has a 20-pound maximum weight capacity, each shelf has a maximum weight capacity of 10 pounds.
Unfortunately, the laminate veneer on these shelves is delicate. You’ll want to be careful during installation to ensure you don’t damage it. You also should not use any strong solvents or cleaners, or you will damage it.
Dimensions: Small: 3 x 9 x 4 inches, Medium: 3.5 x 13 x 4 inches, Large: 4 x 17 x 4 inches
Weight Capacity: small 5lbs, medium 7 lbs, and the large 10lbs
Color Options: Walnut and white
Give your floating shelves a unique look with these U shaped shelves. They are perfect for curating a creative and artful aesthetic. The shape adds angles and depth to the arrangement. Choose from either walnut or white for the laminated shelving finish on the MDF material base. Each set comes with three shelves that nest together. All of the required hardware for hanging the shelves come with them. The three shelves are three different sizes, letting you create a multi-dimensional look. You can hang them all together or hang them in different places around your home. The maximum weight capacity for each shelf is impressive, letting you put a wide range of items on each one.
Unfortunately, the finish on these shelves could look a little nicer, but these will work perfectly for someone on a budget looking to make a big impact without spending a fortune. It would also be wise to replace the hardware with higher quality replacements.
Color Options: Black, carbonized, brown, gray, white
These rustic floating shelves have visible brackets, but the shelf looks like it is floating on the metal brackets instead up being supported by it from underneath. They come as a set of three, with several color combination options. You’ll appreciate how sturdy these shelves feel, thanks to a secure mounting system. They also have an impressive maximum weight capacity, making these shelves useful in a broad range of applications. You could use them for decor or for additional storage. The brackets are powder coated for a durable finish that won’t chip off or scratch. The shelves are constructed from solid Paulownia wood. Each kit comes with the required hardware for hanging each of the shelves. The installation process is simple, with pear-shaped holes in the brackets that you hook over the mounted screws.
Unfortunately, this type of wood is softer than others. This can lead to the shelves getting easily scratched or dented. The metal brackets may have defects in the soldering that can make installation more challenging.
Some floating shelves you can see, some you cannot. These wall-mounted shelves are so minimal and streamlined that you can’t see them when you place certain items on them. Use them as a floating bookshelf, and you won’t see the shelves at all. Each shelf can hold up to 20 pounds or about an eight-inch high stack of books, so you could stack several books on each shelf. Place them scattered on a wall, or install them one over the other to look like a continuous stack of books that goes up the wall. Only you would know that they are really several small stacks.
The downside of these shelves is that they are very small. At 5.5 inches square, you won’t be able to do much on them. You’ll also need to be careful about not having anything fall off them. These shelves are L-shaped, so you will see the leg of the L that goes against the wall if you put something other than a stack of books on them.
Best Reversible: Amada Home Furnishing Wall Shelves
Specs:
Dimensions: 5.9″ D x 16.5″ W x 3.2″ H
Weight Capacity: 40 pounds
Color Options: black, brick red, dark brown, grey, light brown, rustic brown, white
Adding floating shelves to your bathroom can give you much-needed storage space without taking up precious floor space. This set of two floating shelves is perfect because they are the ideal size for mounting over your toilet or an existing towel bar. Both shelves have a metal railing that prevents items from falling off the shelves. One of the shelves has a detachable towel bar underneath. The shelves have an impressive weight capacity, making it safe to hang wet towels or place heavy items on them. Another perfect use for these is in the kitchen. Use the towel bar to hang kitchen towels or cooking utensils.
One potential issue with these shelves is that the wood is soft and lightweight. This can compromise the sturdiness and strength of the shelves. Additionally, the metal brackets are painted and not powder coated. This can lead to the paint peeling or getting scratched.
The size of the shelf you choose will depend on the wall space you have available. Measure the wall space to determine the size of the shelf that will look good on the wall. Pay attention to the length and depth. If you plan to hang floating corner shelves, consider how far out on each wall the shelf extends. The shelf should be deep enough to place your desired items on but not so deep that people could walk into it. The average shelf depth is in the 8-12 inch range.
Finish
The finish of your floating shelf is what it looks like. A common choice is a wood finish. You can invest in quality and have solid wood shelves made of almost any type of wood. You can then leave them raw or stain them. If you don’t have the budget for this, then plywood or MDF wood is a more affordable alternative. This manufactured wood typically has a laminate finish that mimics the look of solid wood shelves. If you plan to mount them on a shelf frame, consider staining everything to match.
Style
The style of the shelves you choose will depend on your interior design choice for the room. Open shelves are perfect for any living space so that you can have shelves of different styles throughout your home. Perhaps you have a modern floating corner shelf in that dead corner of your bedroom. Or you could have rustic wood floating shelves in your living room. Then in your kitchen, you could mount industrial steel floating shelves. The style of the shelf is determined by the finish, design, and mounting hardware.
Mounting Method
The best mounting method for your shelves is to use floating shelf brackets that secure into the wall stud. This will give the shelf the strongest and more secure mounting to your wall. Another option is to use drywall anchors. While these are strong, there is a risk of them pulling through the drywall if you overload the shelf. A final option is to use mounting tape like Command Strips. This is not recommended because they can lose their ability to hold. They are also not as strong as using hardware to secure the shelf.
Weight Capacity
The weight capacity is the total amount of weight you can place on the floating wall shelf and have it remain on the wall. Overload a shelf with heavy items, and you risk it ripping off the wall. If you only plan to place picture frames and typical wall decor, then a weight capacity of 20 pounds should be more than enough. If you plan to display large items or use the shelf as storage, then you need strong floating shelves with a higher weight capacity. As a general rule, the larger the shelf, the higher the weight capacity. You can also increase the weight capacity of the mounting hardware to make the shelf stronger.
Conclusion
Our top pick for the best floating shelves is the Sartaaj Floating Shelf with a thick design and simple, clean lines. There are several color and length options, making it simple to find the perfect shelf for your wall space.
For a more affordable option, the Arshaun Floating Shelf has a decorative design that will add a traditional look to your decor. With its narrow depth, you have a lot of flexibility in where you install your shelf.
Your boring white walls are in desperate need of an upgrade. Peel and stick wallpaper is the wall treatment of the future that gives you limitless options for color and design. Unlike permanent wallpaper, you can easily remove it when you don’t want it anymore. To make the most of your new walls, you need a peel-and-stick wallpaper that’s easy to install and looks great once it’s on your walls. Check out these options for the best removable wallpaper to improve your next home decor project.

The paper is thick, making it less likely to stick to itself or crease. Beginners will find it easier to apply and achieve a successful finished project.

Use this black wallpaper to add sophistication to your home decor or give your room a modern touch without the hassle of black paint.
Unfortunately, you may find this removable wallpaper difficult to get it to adhere. The adhesive on the paper sometimes loses its stick while others suffer a high number of air bubbles. Be careful when using heat to remove them; the wallpaper is not heat-resistant.
Best Textured: Wadile Textured Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Specs:
Dimensions: 32.8 feet x 15.7 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 42.92 square feet
Finish: Matte

The uniform and neutral patterns are also nice for installation because you don’t have to worry too much about perfectly lining up the linen pattern. You’ll notice that the wallpaper has a thicker construction than most peel and stick wallpapers, making it more durable for use in high-traffic areas.
Unfortunately, there are variations in quality, making a larger project more challenging. You may notice variations in the color from different dye lots. The adhesive also loses its ability to stick as it ages, so an older roll will be troublesome to install.
Best Premium: Tempaper Moire Dots Removable Wallpaper
Courtesy of west elm
Specs:
Dimensions: 16.5 feet x 20.5 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 28 square feet
Finish: Matte
Color Options: coral, black, and tumaric
The wallpaper pattern on this option is small and repeating. It’s the perfect alternative to using individual wall decals to create a similar look. What’s nice about this small and tight pattern is that it won’t overwhelm you on a large wall. Unlike perfect polka dots, these have an organic feel, as if someone hand-painted the dots on your wall using a paintbrush and watercolor paint. This makes them a perfect backdrop for displaying wall decor. The varying dots also make them forgiving when it comes to installation, so you’ll have an easier time lining up the different panels.
The downside of this wallpaper is that it can be expensive if you have a large wall surface you need to cover. Thankfully, the forgiving pattern can reduce the amount of wastage you’ll need, which can help you save some of your budget. It’s also in a limited set of colors that may not coordinate with your chosen color palette.
Best Wood Design: Bertsch Beachwood Peel And Stick Wallpaper
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Dimensions: 18 feet x 20.5 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 30.75 square feet
Finish: Matte
Color Options: Gray/blue/green turquoise/white
Give the wall’s in your home a rustic touch with this wood patterned wallpaper. It features a weathered wood look with soft colors of gray, blue, turquoise, and white. What’s nice about this wallpaper is that it has a large 20.5-inch repeating pattern, helping a large wall to look beautiful and not too repetitive. The soft colors and light white-washing of the wood make it perfect for a country, farmhouse, or rustic design. Because it has a matte finish, it’s best for use in a bedroom, laundry room, basement, or closet. For a unique look, consider turning the wallpaper 90 degrees for a vertical instead of a horizontal design.
Unfortunately, the adhesive on this wall doesn’t stick as well as others. It’s only designed for installation on smooth surfaces, so anything with even a slight textured will reduce its ability to adhere. The printing design isn’t as crisp as other designs. This can be a good or bad thing. It’s supposed to mimic wood, which isn’t perfect, so the softer printing better mimics natural wood. Some people find it unappealing.
Best Bohemian Design: Ethan-Jay Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Dimensions: 16.5 feet x 20.5 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 28.18 square feet
Finish: Semi-Gloss
Color Options: Blue/white

This wallpaper stands out with its varied design with a 20.5-inch repeating size, making it possible to cover a larger space without it obviously looking repetitive. The semi-gloss finish makes this wallpaper perfect for use in your kitchen because it’s easy to clean. Unlike lower-quality wallpapers, this one feels thick and substantial, making it easier to work with and more durable. The adhesive on this wallpaper is strong, and you’ll find that it doesn’t trap as many air bubbles as other wallpapers.
Unfortunately, the oversized repeating pattern means you may need to order more wastage. This is the extra wallpaper you’ll buy so that you can perfectly line up the pattern. Additionally, the pattern is old, worn, cracked, weathered, and split tile. This may not be the look everyone is going for.
Best Farmhouse Design: Magnolia Home Common Thread Premium Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Courtesy of Home Depot
Specs:
Dimensions: 20 feet x 20.5 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 34.17 square feet
Finish: Matte
Color Options: Black, and green

The bright white background keeps your room feeling bright, while the plaid pattern softens the white, giving your room a warm and welcoming touch. You’ll find this wallpaper easier to install than others with a simpler pattern, although you’ll want to make sure the spacing of the lines is uniform.
Unfortunately, the adhesive on this wallpaper could be better. It tends to peel off the wall and fall if you don’t install it just right on a clean and smooth surface. You may also find the pattern different in person, with more noticeable lines creating the plaid pattern. Some people appreciate the difference, while others find it off-putting.
Best Modern Design: Analeese Peel and Stick Removable Wallpaper
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Dimensions: 16.5 feet L x 20.5 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 28.18 square feet
Finish: Metallic
Color Options: White/gold, gold/black, and white/gray

It will become incredibly overwhelming on a large wall or cover an entire room. Use it to cover the bottom half of your walls to keep the pattern low, or use it as an accent wall. It’s perfect for highlighting architectural features, such as an alcove or backsplash. What makes this wallpaper stand out is the metallic finish that’s bright and reflective but isn’t too jarring.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to adhere and bubbles easily, making this wallpaper labor-intensive to get a perfect finish. You’ll also find it challenging to perfectly line up the many lines on the pattern. This is frustrated by a lack of quality control where the lines may not always be printed perfectly. However, with careful installation, these slight mismatches can be hidden.
Best Nature-Inspired Design: Floral Peel and Stick Wallpaper Roll
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Dimensions: 20 feet x 27″
Square Footage per Unit: 45 square feet
Finish: Matte
Color Options: Rose, blue, burgundy, off white/brown, and pastel
This nature-inspired wallpaper from Rifle Paper Co. has a large and bold pattern that features a stunning bouquet of large-scale flowers and leaves. It’s perfect for a small guest powder room or an accent wall. The paper feels thick, making it less likely to crease and easier to work with. The wall pops with vibrant and rich colors. If you find the pattern overwhelming, try using it only on the upper half of the wall. You’ll appreciate the attention to detail in the printing with crisp edges, uniform printing, and accurate colors. Once installed, the adhesive will keep your wallpaper securely stuck to the wall for years to come.
The biggest problem with this wallpaper is that it doesn’t have an overlap margin, making it difficult to install. You’ll need to line up the edges perfectly. This can be not easy, given how intricate the pattern is. The intricacy of the design can also mean an increase in wastage, requiring you to buy more wallpaper than you would with other designs.
Best Versatile Design: Dimoon Blue Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Specs:
Dimensions: 65.5 feet x 17.7 inches
Square Footage per Unit: 96.74 square feet
Finish: Embossed
Color Options: Blue-grey, light green, dark blue, dark purple, beige, dark green, light blue, yellow, white, red, pink, emerald, light pink, rose pink, grey, black, and purple
Whether you are looking to cover your walls, furniture, kitchen cabinets, or anything else, this simple and colorful temporary wallpaper is a perfect solution. Unlike paint, you can stick it on and easily peel it off later. With the wide range of sizes available, you can buy exactly how much you need for any project. Because the wallpaper is a plain color, it’s perfect for someone who wants to achieve the look of a painted finish without actually painting, such as renters or those whose tastes change often.
It may take some practice to get your finished project looking nice. The vinyl is very thin, making it easy to crease and difficult to get smooth. You may also be able to see imperfections and designs through it, so it’s best to install it on a smooth, plain surface. However, its thinner, helping it to flex and curve better, giving you a better finish on surfaces like cabinets with a raised or sunken panel. Be careful when ordering; this wallpaper is subject to color variations due to inconsistency between dye lots.
Choosing a color and pattern sounds fun, but there’s more to it than just picking out a design that appeals to you. The pattern’s scale should make sense for the size of the wall you plan to cover. Consider what the pattern will look like on a large scale, not just the small square sample you see online. Additionally, a more intricate or detailed pattern may result in you needing more wallpaper to ensure you have enough. An intricate pattern will also be more difficult to align across the wall perfectly.
Adhesive
Not all adhesives are the same, and not all manufacturers use the same adhesive formulation on their removable wallpaper. The adhesive needs to be strong enough to adhere the paper to the wall but not so strong that you can’t get it off. The adhesive should also be durable enough to withstand changing temperatures and humidity levels. If you plan to install your wallpaper on a wall that gets a high degree of sun exposure, this can also influence the performance of the adhesive.
Print Quality
Higher quality printing will produce a better-finished product. If you choose a realistic design, like wood or bricks, then opt for a higher quality wallpaper for a more realistic design. You want the finished wall to trick people into thinking it really is wood or brick, not an obvious faux wallpaper wall. If you choose a printed design or one that mimics painting, then crisp edges are a must to make installation easier, and the finished design looks appealing. Pixelated images and edges are harder to line up and cheapen the look of your wallpaper.
Material
The material the wallpaper is made out of can influence how easy the wallpaper is to work with, the look it has on your wall, and its durability. Vinyl wallpaper is the most popular because it can be made thicker to give it more durability. However, the thicker paper can be more difficult to work with and get the air bubbles out. Thinner papers will flex and adhere more easily but may not have the same level of durability. There are a few papers that have a PVC coating. This makes the wallpaper more durable but can also cheapen its look.
Finish
The finishes available on removable wallpaper are similar to paint finishes. A matte finish is a flat finish that won’t reflect much light and have a softening effect on your room. A satin finish will have a slight gleam but will not be shiny. A semi-gloss or gloss finish will have a shine and reflect the most light. Some wallpapers could have a metallic finish that mimics the look of real metal. A gloss or semi-gloss finish will be easier to wipe clean, making them better for families with children and pets or in high-traffic rooms.
Conclusion
Our top pick for the best removable wallpaper is the Wokingham Peel And Stick Wallpaper Roll. This white wallpaper has a realistic design that will add subtle texture and pattern to any room.
These wallpapers come in a thickness that makes them durable but not challenging to install. In addition, they have adhesive that will ensure the wallpaper stays stuck to your walls and won’t peel off on its own.

While the clock comes in sizes, neither are too large, so you can hang it by itself or use it with other wall decor.
Unfortunately, hanging hardware doesn’t come with the clock, so you’ll need to purchase it separately. It also runs on a battery, so you’ll need to periodically change it to keep the clock running.
This modern wall clock channels the classic design created by Arne Jacobsen. It features a bright white background with black Arabic numerals, clock hands, and frame. The clean design makes it one of the best modern wall clocks because it’s versatile and functional. You could hang this classic wall clock in a home office, kid’s room, laundry room, or even the kitchen. If the white looks plain for your tastes, you could a more colorful face option, including cerulean, grey, kelly green, navy, yellow, teal, silver, or peacock. There’s also an elegant option with a white background and rose gold numerals, hands, and frame. The quartz movement mechanism ensures you’ll always have the precise time at a glance.
Unfortunately, this clock is made from plastic, making it less durable than other options. It can also give the clock a bit of a cheap look. Some of the color options have low contrast, making them hard to read.
This glam wall clock features a design that was first made famous by George Nelson, a mid-century modern furniture designer. It features a large central disk that has the numerals and hands. Then radiating from this center disk, there are crystal accents radiating from it. Choose from silver, copper, and gold for the color of the metal, while all three have an iron construction. The starburst design adds a touch of decor to your walls. At just over a foot in diameter, you can easily hang this in smaller spaces. The crystal accents paired with the metal finish make this clock perfect for a glam style of interior design. Hang it with matching metal picture frames or a crystal chandelier.
The downside of this clock is that the clock face is highly reflective. This can create a glare on the face, making it difficult or even impossible to read the time.
This decorative wall clock doesn’t look like a clock, making it perfect for adding wall decor without making it obvious you are using a clock. The face is a tightly woven mat made of sea grass. Around the outside is a loose crown of see grass. Everything is mounted on a wood base with two conveniently placed loops for hanging it. The hands are slim line and gold to give the clock a touch of elegance. This clock is perfect for a bohemian, wanderlust, or coastal feel. The natural materials used in this clock will add texture and a touch of nature to your home. In addition, the neutral color of this clock helps it to easily blend in with any color palette.
The biggest problem with this clock is that it lacks numbers, making it harder to read than other clocks on this list. Sea grass is also a natural material that’s less durable than others.
Howard Miller famously designed a clock that looked very similar to this one. This clock elevates the look of the original design and gives it a luxurious feel. The open design of the clock features an outer circle frame, a small center face, and two crossbars. The oversized hands extend almost to the outer edge of the clock. The simplistic design and gold finish make this clock perfect for almost any room in your home. It will blend perfectly with contemporary, luxurious, modern, and minimalist designs. The single hang point of the clock is above the frame of the clock, giving it a unique look. The silent operation of this clock means you won’t be distracted or bothered by it.
Because there are no markers for the numbers, it’s hard to tell the time with this clock. The gold finish can also be easily scratched. It also doesn’t hold the correct time well because the hands can easily become loose.
This digital wall clock gives you more than just the time. It can also tell you the day of the week, the date, and if it’s morning, afternoon, or evening. There are five colors to choose from for the frame, black, brushed black, white, cream marble, and wood. This lets you choose the frame color that will best complement the rest of your interior design style. Unlike other wall clocks on this list, you can use this clock as an alarm clock. This clock is electric, so you’ll never have to worry about changing batteries. The body of the clock is made from plastic, which helps to keep the clock lightweight.
It would be nice if this wall clock had other features that you typically find on digital clocks. It could tell you the external or indoor temperature, weather, atmospheric pressure, or moon phase. It’s also small, making it less than ideal for larger rooms.
This analog clock channels the retro designs of mid-century modern designers. It’s made from bent beech wood with a natural light finish. The hands are simple yet sleek in straight-line designs. There are no numbers on the face, but each fold of the wood ribbon represents an hour. This clock is perfect for a modern or Scandinavian interior design style where it will blend with other light wood features and furniture. The workmanship that goes into the building of this wall clock is impressive, with a high degree of expert hands-on workmanship. It’s finished with a quartz mechanism for accuracy and consistency.
Let’s face it, the bent wood design is nice, but also makes it more difficult to read the time. You have to know what number each wood ribbon represents. This can make the clock tedious to use. It also may not complement your home’s interior design if you have wood with red undertones or is dark.
This analog wall clock is of average size, but that makes it versatile for hanging almost anywhere in your home. The nautical line gives the clock a coastal touch, making it a perfect wall clock for hanging in your bathroom, kitchen, or living room. There are plenty of rustic touches with wear and tear, giving it a weathered look. There are two designs to choose from. The first has a white face with a decorative barometer and natural colored rope. The other has a light blue face and bright white rope accenting. Both feature weathered metal brackets that secure the rope to the clock.
Unfortunately, this clock is very heavy. This makes it challenging to hang, and you’ll want to have a reinforced hook that’s anchored in a stud. Fail to secure it, and you risk it falling off the wall and the glass face shattering. Additionally, the barometer is non-functional.
This large wall clock has a farmhouse-style with a distressed metal frame and white-washed wood pallet clock face. The Arabic numerals are large and constrast nicely against the light wood. A nice touch is how deep this clock is, helping it to stand out from the wall. The hour and second hands are slender to keep the clock from looking too clunky. While the clock may look like its wood, the clock’s body is actually made from plastic. This keeps the clock’s overall weight lighter than if it was made from wood.
If you are looking for a silent wall clock, this isn’t it. Some people find the ticking noise annoying, while others appreciate that they can hear the clock working. It’s also not actually made from wood, just paper that’s printed to look like wood. This makes it feel less authentic and can look fake to some people.
This oversized wall clock is perfect for acting as your focal point in a dining or living room. Its large Roman numerals encircle the analog face with two long hands that rotate silently around. The iron construction makes the clock feel hefty and substantial. A nice accent is the touches of red. The front of the face is black, but the sides and back are red, which highlights the clock and helps it to stand out on the wall. There are also touches of rust throughout, giving the clock an authentic rustic feel. This simplistic clock accentuates an industrial, contemporary, country, or farmhouse design. However, the rustic accents make it not ideal for a modern or minimalist style.
One drawback of this clock is that it’s a bit underpowered. It only requires one AA battery, which can require frequent replacement. In addition, the mechanical operating mechanism makes this clock less accurate than others and can get stuck.
Measure the available space on the wall where you plan to hang your wall clock. This will help you determine what size clock is best. Leave empty space around the clock to act as a margin or buffer. This creates some breathing room and prevents your wall from looking cluttered or crowded. On the other hand, don’t go too small with your clock. This will make the wall look bare, and the clock will awkwardly float ungrounded on the wall. Some table clocks will say they can also be hung. This may not be your best option. They tend to be too small for wall decor.
Style
The style of the clock is how it communicates the time to you. There are two types to choose from analog and digital clocks. Analog clocks are the traditional type with numbers one through twelve placed in a circle and two hands that move around the circle to indicate the time. A digital clock displays the numbers on a screen with the current hour and minutes indicated.
Design
The design of the clock depends on the interior decor style you’ve chosen for your home. For example, industrial, farmhouse, French Country, minimalist, modern, craftsman, or vintage. Look at the material used, the finish, and the design of the numbers. Matching the style of your clock to the room helps to create a cohesive design for the room. Consider the size, numbers, shape, material, and finish when looking at the design. For example, 3D numbers may look cool but may not fit the style of your room.
Material
Wall clocks come in wood, metal, plastic, and acrylic. Plastic is the most budget-friendly but not as durable. You have more variety when it comes to color options. Wood is a durable and versatile material. It could be any type of wood and designed to be anything from farmhouse to traditional elegance. Acrylic clocks are typically translucent and have a modern look. Metal is another versatile material that can be industrial to minimalist and rustic to glamorous.
Mechanism
There are three types of mechanisms in wall clocks: mechanical, quartz, and atomic clocks. Mechanical clocks are the least accurate because they require periodic winding. Quartz movement clocks are more accurate because they have a crystal oscillator and are battery-powered. Atomic clocks have the most accurate time because they are self-adjusted through the vibrations of the atomic systems. Tomic wall clocks require the least amount of maintenance; they even automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time. A less commonly seen mechanism is pendulum wall clocks. Traditionally, all wall clocks were pendulum clocks with a harmonic oscillator that swings back and forth.
Conclusion
Our top pick for the best wall clock is the Sorbus Round Centurian Roman Analog Clock. Its simple design and average size make it perfect for use by itself or a part of a gallery wall. The roman numerals give it a touch of style. For those who are budget-conscious, the Jomparis Modern Wall Clock is easy to read with a clean, modern design. Both clock use quartz mechanisms for accuracy and longevity.

Top Picks
Best Overall: Cain Patio Chair with Cushions
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Style: Club Armchair
Material: Resin, Wicker, Steel
Dimensions: 34.45” H x 31.50” W x 32.48” D
Color: Gray and blue, gray, and tan
This set of wicker and armchairs are perfect for creating a conversation zone on your patio. The chairs have a sturdy steel frame to give them strength and durability. Wrapped around the frame is woven wicker for a classic patio furniture design. The large armrests and slanted backrest make these chairs comfortable to sit back into. Two large cushions come on each chair, one for the seat and one for the backrest. Filling the cushions is a polyester foam blend to prevent enough support but also be soft so that you sink down into them. To ensure their durability, the materials are weather, UV, and rust-resistant. Keeping them clean is easy; just use a damp cloth to wipe them down. The classic design in the neutral color scheme helps these chairs to blend in with any patio design style.
Unfortunately, the seat can begin to sag over time with heavy use. You may need to add additional support to the cushion to keep the chair feeling like new.
Feel as if you are floating on air in these suspended zero gravity chairs. The sturdy steel frame is heavy-duty and weather-resistant to prevent rusting or wearing out. Suspended from it, there is Textilene fabric woven to the chair with elastic cords. The flex and stretch of the cords help to cradle your entire body. The smooth-moving joint allows the chair to recline back 160 degrees. The detachable holding tray is a nice extra touch that can hold your tablet, phone, and two drinks. Each chair has a 250-pound weight capacity, while the chair itself is lightweight and easy to move about. To help you achieve maximum comfort, a removable headrest comes with each chair to give you the support you need for your head and neck.
The drawback of these chairs is that they look more like beach chairs than permanent patio furniture. They lack the style and design that other chairs on this list have.
Best Natural Wood: Summerton Teak Patio Chair with Cushions
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Style: Armchair
Material: Teak and polyester
Dimensions: 35.5” H x 30.75” W x 34” D
Color: natural, weathered gray, gray
Sometimes you just want a simple chair that serves its purpose. This wood-framed chair has a contemporary design with subtle details that give it a timeless appeal. The wood frame is made from teak, which is one of the best materials for outdoor furniture. There are three color options for your chair, natural teak with an off-white cushion, a grey frame with blue cushions, or weathered grey with white cushions. It’s durable, moisture-resistant, easy to maintain, and beautiful. The wood frame has a slatted design for the seat and back. Then placed on the chair are a seat and back cushion. Unlike other patio chairs, the two cushions have a different construction. The seat is constructed of dense and supportive foam. The back is constructed from a softer foam that lets you sink back.
Unfortunately, this patio chair does require ongoing maintenance. You need to clean and oil the teak to keep it looking new. If you neglect to do this, it will patina and eventually turn a weathered grey.
Best Included Cushions: Style Selections Avery Station Conversation Chairs
Courtesy of Lowe’s
Specs:
Style: Armchair
Material: Steel and wicker
Dimensions: 31.5” H x 32.68” W x 30.71” D
Color: Natural and White
This set of two conversation chairs is perfect for creating a living room feel to your backyard patio. Place them angled toward each other and a sofa with a side table between them or a coffee table in front of them. The unique rattan weave gives the chairs an exotic feel that brings the retro design of the frame into modern times. The nice shape of the chairback wraps around you to provide plenty of support without being too confining. The heavy-duty frame feels substantial and sturdy; to give these chairs lasting durability, they are weather and UV-resistant.
Unfortunately, the chairs have a maximum weight capacity of 225 pounds, which is lower than some of the other chairs on this list. You will also need to assemble the chairs before use. However, they are simple to put together, making them perfect for those who lack experience with home DIY projects.
Best Premium Pick: Portside Outdoor Textilene Lounger
Courtesy of west elm
Specs:
Style: Loung chair
Material: Textilene® fabric and wood
Dimensions: 27″w x 81.8″d x 13.3″h
Color: light or dark wood
This elegant and modern-looking lounge chair is the perfect addition to your backyard pool oasis. Even if you don’t have a pool, laying back on this lounge chair will have you relaxing as you soak up the sun. It comes in two color options based on the type of wood the frame is made out of. Choose from weathered grey or driftwood made from either mahogany or eucalyptus. Both of these woods are incredibly durable and moisture resistant, making the frames of these patio chairs durable enough for your patio. Mounted on the frame is Textilene fabric in grey, cafe, or white. Its breathability will keep you cool and comfortable while it resists mold, mildew, fraying, or fading. The weight limit for this chair is 275 pounds. When sitting in this lounger, there are three positions to choose from for the back. These chairs are perfect for a relaxed coastal feel with the weathered finish on the wood and clean design of the frame.
The drawback of this lounger is that you can’t stack multiple chairs like you can with other similar chairs. It’s also designed to be perfectly flat, so it lacks ergonomic comfort that can leave you feeling less supported in key areas.
Best Statement Piece: Dixion Teardrop Patio Chair with Cushions
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Style: Egg chair
Material: Polyethylene rattan
Dimensions: 60.25” H x 37.8” W x 33” D
Color: Black
This unique-looking chair may not be your first choice, but it’s the perfect addition to any bohemian or wanderlust-inspired patio design. Unlike chairs, with a similar design, this one is nice because it doesn’t take up any more room than a typical armchair. This makes it usable in a wide variety of patio spaces. The teardrop shape of the chair adds an organic feel and height to your patio design. Placed inside of the chair is an overly plush cushion that you’ll sink back into. Additionally, this egg chair doesn’t require you to hang it from the ceiling or have a bulky base frame with a hook. You’ll appreciate the sturdy and stable feel of the chair, making it easy to get in and out of it.
Unfortunately, this chair isn’t great for conversation. You’ll only be able to easily converse with people directly in front of you. However, this chair is perfect for independent relaxing with a book or admiring the view.
Sit back into this brightly colored rocking chair and feel the gentle back and forth that the expertly shaped rails create. The chair has a classic design with flat armrests and a slatted construction for the seat and back. Instead of traditional wood construction, this chair uses a Polywood construction. It’s made from recycled wood that won’t stain, peel, chip, splinter, crack, or rot. These are also durable enough for use near saltwater. Unlike other wood chairs, these require no staining, waterproofing, painting, or any other maintenance. If they get dirty, you can easily clean them with soap and water. They also come with an impressive 20-year warranty.
The drawback of this chair is that it has limited applications. They also take up a lot of room because you need to leave clearance for when the chair rocks. Some people find the recycled Polywood to have an offputting feel when sitting in the chair.
Best Metal Chair: Englewood Outdoor Hammock Weave Patio Chair
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Style: Disk chair
Material: Steel and rattan
Dimensions: 33.5” H x 28.25” W x 31.25” D
Color: White, orange, teal, yellow, and black
This set of two disk chairs comes in a range of colors and will add a funky retro feel. The hammock weave gives the chairs an organic feel while the bright colors add a pop of color and freshness. Thanks to the scaled-down size and open design, these chairs are perfect for small patios. They won’t close the space in or feel heavy. Despite the minimalist design, the steel frame is strong. You’ll appreciate how easy the chairs are to maintain with a simple wipe of a clean cloth. The chair legs have protective feet to keep your patio protected from damage.
One issue that plagues these chairs is the unraveling of the weave. It tends to happen around the disk frame of the chair and not in the seating area, though. These chairs aren’t meant for use at a table and can be awkward to sit in while eating or using a coffee table. Stick with small side tables to avoid having to look overly far forward.
Best Adirondack Chair: Mitchem Adirondack Patio Chair with Cushions
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Style: Armchair
Material: Stainless steel and wicker
Dimensions: 35” H x 34.5” W x 34” D
Color: brown
If you have a larger patio that can accommodate a chair that takes up more space, this Adirondack chair will give you a comfortable place to sit. Its contemporary style of woven rattan is an updated version of a classic chair design. The large and slanted backrest is comfortable to sink back into. While the cushion on the seat adds a bit of extra support. The high position of the armrests makes them comfortable to lean on. The chair’s frame features elegant curved lines, giving the chair a sophisticated feel instead of the typical rustic look that Adirondack chairs tend to have.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to assemble these chairs, and it can be challenging. Additionally, the wicker weave design is not made from rattan. The plastic material used to mimic rattan can be vulnerable to long exposure to direct sunlight.
Best Dining Chair: Abrahamic Stacking Patio Dining Chair
Courtesy of wayfair
Specs:
Style: Dining chair
Material: Aluminum and rattan
Dimensions: 28.5” H x 21.75” W x 23.5” D
Color: brown, gray, beige, and black
These bistro dining chairs are perfect for turning your patio into an outdoor dining space. They come as a set of four, making them perfect for a square or long rectangular table. They feature a lightweight aluminum frame that’s rust and weather resistant. You can easily stack them when not in use for compact storage. Despite these chairs not having any cushions, they are comfortable to sit in thanks to the subtly curved shaping the seat and back have. The metal and rattan construction blends the two materials perfectly to give them a versatile design style. The aluminum frame has a powder-coated finish to improve the look of the aluminum and help protect it. Each chair has a maximum weight capacity of 352 pounds. A nice touch is the plastic feet to protect your patio from damage.
One potential issue with these chairs is that they are on a small scale, making them slightly uncomfortable for larger individuals. However, their scaled-down size makes them ideal or patios with limited space.
The design of the outdoor seating is the shape and styling of the chair. This goes beyond whether you buy an outdoor sofa, loveseat, or chair. For example, lounge chairs have deep seating and slant backward to create a more relaxed sitting position. Lawn chairs have an upright design that puts you into a 90-degree sitting position. A chaise lounge puts you into a stretched-out and almost laying down position. The design you choose will depend on the space you have available, your chosen design style, and the interpersonal interactions you want to have while sitting in the chairs.
Material
There are several materials to choose from, including wood, plastic, acrylic, rattan, and metal. Some modern chairs are even made from recycled plastic. These chairs use recycle plastic or wood materials that are ground up and then reformed into the parts that make up the chair. You may hear of wicker chairs. Wicker is a weave style, while rattan is the actual material. Consider the durability and maintenance requirements of your chosen chair material. You can find all materials in all price ranges. However, high-quality metal and wood construction tend to be more expensive than lower-quality versions.
Style
To take your outdoor living space to the next level, look for furniture pieces that have style. Many options mimic the look of indoor furniture. Style often works in conjunction with design. For example, the design of the chair could be a conversation chair. The style is if it is vintage, retro, bohemian, modern, or contemporary. To keep your patio design cohesive, try to choose chairs that have a similar style. Then you can use this style as a guide for choosing the decor for your outdoor space.
Number of Pieces
While you could buy a single chair, you’ll likely need more than one to complete the design on your patio. Some chairs come in patio furniture sets. This is perfect if you plan to have patio seating around a fire pit or as a dining set. When you buy several pieces at once, you can usually get a better deal for the entire package. Measure the pieces and the space you have available to ensure they will all fit on your patio. You’ll also need to leave room for additional accent pieces, such as a coffee table, side table, patio umbrella, or grill.
Warranty
Looking for outdoor furniture that comes with a warranty can give you some security with your new purchase. The best patio chairs have high-quality construction, and they typically come with a long warranty. Patio furniture manufacturers are in business to make money, so they won’t offer a long warranty if they don’t think the chair will last. They would lose money on people making warranty claims as the chairs reach the end of their useful life. Read the fine print, as some only warranty construction and other warranty construction and materials.
Conclusion
Our top pick for the best patio chair is the Cain Patio Chair with Cushions. Its comfortable design will have you relaxing into the supportive cushions on these chairs.
For a budget-friendly option, a set of two Zero Gravity Lounge Chair Recliners will give you the functionality you need without requiring a major investment. The elastic cord construction flexes and moves to provide you with a supportive frame that reclines back.
The walls are part of the decor. They can be used for storage, with shelving units that can also be part of the decoration. But walls can be more than that: they can be the accent piece in the room. Feature walls with wall murals or decorative panels, wall art, or photo galleries add a lot of character and make a difference in any space.
There is so many wall covering options in the market, that makes it is a difficult task to choose from. So, take a look at the design ideas and options we have selected for you. They will surely inspire you to give your walls an awesome facelift!

Everyone needs bathroom storage, to keep towels, and bathroom essentials. Freestanding pedestal sinks do not offer counter space, such an essential item especially when you want to get ready for a day’s work ahead. Medicine cabinets are tiny, without enough space to store all the everyday toiletry items we need at arm’s reach.
So, a bathroom vanity is an essential item for you to keep your bathroom tidy and organized. No matter the size of your bathroom, you will see that there are simple ways to make it more functional, with the awesome ideas we will give you in this post.
[view_toc]
1. Bespoke Bathroom Vanities
Custom-made vanities are always an excellent choice. Take a look at the examples of dual vanity below: a custom-made cabinet that takes advantage of the space between the sinks, with a set of drawers between the lower cabinets. This type of cabinetry provides plenty of highly needed bathroom storage space.
Source: @don_gardner_architects via InstagramSource: @maconithome via Instagram
In the other example, instead of a dual vanity, the space was used for a single vanity with cabinets and drawers, and the extra space is used as a makeup station, another essential item for every woman.
These are examples of how much custom vanities can add to the space: they are designed to use the space’s exact measurements. Using a wall-to-wall slab, for example, will allow for a wider countertop with more room for bathroom essentials.
2. DIY Vanity Projects
There are creative ideas for you to install a vanity that combines beauty and functionality, at affordable prices.
Open niches look great when paired with baskets and rolled-up bath towels. Floating cabinets are also trendy. They make the space look bigger and are easier to maintain since there’s no risk of getting in contact with water when cleaning the bathroom.

With a little imagination, you can turn an old piece of furniture into a stylish vanity. Install a vessel sink on top of an antique table and adapt a shelf on the bottom for towel baskets, and you’ll have a unique décor piece in your bathroom.
The most common materials you can use in your DIY project are wood and MDF. Just keep n mind that both have to be properly sealed to avoid moisture. Mirrored and glass cabinets are an alternative to wood cabinets.
3. Dual Sink Designs
If your bathroom is large enough for a double vanity, then you shouldn’t let the space go wasted. Install a wall-to-wall vanity to make the most use of storage space to tuck away toiletries and other bathroom essentials.

An antique dresser can also be transformed into a stylish vanity with a coat of paint, new hardware, a built-in towel bar, and a vessel sink.
8. Compact Vanity Solutions
When looking for functional storage in a small bathroom vanity, there are a few things you must take into account: If you choose a built-in sink instead of a vessel sink, it’s important to consider its size when designing the cabinet. Should it be too deep, it will end up stealing internal space and limiting the storage capacity.

Also, take your measurements right and make sure there’s enough circulation space when the cabinet doors are open. Creativity makes up for the lack of space. You can have a tilt-out laundry hamper, alongside drawers.
Vanity units that include drawers and at least one cabinet door are well-suited for various storage needs. You can use countertop space for organizers with day-to-day toiletry items, and maximize the use of vertical space by adding floating shelves for extra storage.
Think out of the box when you want a vintage-style vanity for your bathroom. Vintage tables or dressers can be upcycled to make spectacular bathroom vanities.

1. Opt For Exposed Brick Walls
If you have a small front porch and are looking for ways to make it look bigger, exposed brick walls and stamped tiles are a great way to add texture and visual interest. Use plants by stacking potted plants in the corners or along the walls. You can also hang wicker furniture and rugs on exposed walls; this will help to create an illusion of more space.
Paint the railing balustrades in cheerful colors to add character, or pick classic white if neutral color schemes are more up your alley. And don’t forget to add some lighting – strings of lightbulbs across exposed beams or sconces near the front door will make your porch warm and inviting.
