Treasure is right that chosing artwork is very personal and hard to do for someone else unless you know them well. Personally I love holly-kay's idea of using something other than a framed piece of traditional art like china or a pretty tray. Maybe a shelf with some silver candlesicks or cut glass jars filled with pretty soaps? Maybe you even have some lovely or meaningful items you could use already. For framed artwork The New York Public Library Digital Library has a huge collection of artwork you can browse through to use as inspiration or even download and print low resolution images (see link below for tips from the Creativity Exchange on using the images) And just because you pick something now, doesn't mean you can't change it out later if you tire of your first choice or find something you love more. You could even purposely chose two options and display one with brighter colors for spring and summer and the another for fall and winter. I know the thought of choosing two when you can't chose one seems daunting, but I have found the freedom from having to find "the one" lets me focus on what makes me happy. Happy hunting!!

I have paintings and framed prints in all three of mine and have never had a problem with moisture or warping. I'm not crazy about cutesy things in bathrooms (except, of course in kid's), and always appreciate seeing well thought out art in there. In my powder room I have New Mexican art. The kid's bathroom has Western art and our bathroom is tropical Mexican. I think your bathroom sounds great and a wonderful blank canvas for some art. I'd go with a dark wood frame or frames and nice matting. Try heading over to www.art.com and see what catches your interest . . . just no fish with bubbles, ok ;^P ?

There are lots of great suggestions here. I love the idea of the black towel ladder and the shelves above the toilet Personally, I support the idea of art on your walls and I love your pallet. I understand the comment of selecting art/pictures via colour scheme. but I am going to suggest a different way of thinking about choosing art for your bathroom/ home. It may take time tho, to followup on my suggestions if you consider following them. I would just like to add that I grew up in a home that was filled with beautiful art. My parents could not afford the 'real' thing so my Mom cut beautiful pictures out of magazines, framed them inexpensively as she could, and hung them in groupings on our light pained walls. First your bathroom pallet is calm and restful. It will not compete with most art that you choose, but instead will create a back drop for the art. I see art as a relationship with you and the art. Art is personal and meaningful. I would scour art galleries and their artists on-line and in your area to see what type of art appeals to you and your husband. ( see note below) After finding out what you like, you may purchase a piece from a gallery, furniture store, an art auction ( fun!!!!!) , or grad shows/sales for art schools. ( I paid 300$ for one pice that I bought from an art school sale,) or painting guilds. If the art talks to you , it is is a sign that it belongs in your house. Good art stands on its own and does not need to be expensive and also just needs a neural backdrop to show it off. You have the neural. Generally people are consistent in choosing art they relate to, so the pieces you choose will have some consistency. What matters also is the space and placement ........you have to place your art. For above the towel rack, I would suggest a piece no wider than 5" on either side the of the towel rack and no higher than the top of the mirrors. If the art is wider, then it will not be "supported" and then it will add tension to the room. I'd suggest placing a piece of art between the mirrors . I would suggest that it be higher than the light switch, slightly lower than the lights in the light fixture and 4"to 6" or so from the edges the mirrors. I'd also put an art piece above the toilet. But that is me. I don't mind living in an art gallery look. If you are considering art just because you think might be a suggestion , but you love clocks, I think you should choose clocks. If you love clocks tho, than you would be following your heart and then I'd suggest you look up clocks on Houzz and see what people are doing as they decorate with clocks.I'dd recommend one clock between the mirrors, : fram the mirrors. and a grouping over the town rack and then place shelves over the toilet. CB2 has clocks, Chintz also had great clocks. Note: My contractor's wife said she and her husband had different art tastes, so I worked with them by listening to what they liked in art and looked for art on gallery websites. Long story short. I sent them images art that combined what they liked and they ended up choosing a piece that they both loved. On the other hand you both might like the same art or one of you might not care so you would have an easier task. I have a framed batik under glass, a stretched giclee canvas and a framed under glass relief in my two bathrooms and have has no issue with moisture from the showers /tub. If you don't put art between your mirrors I would recommend framing them. food for thought............

Definitely no rules apply here. Besides, it's your bathtub. Who is going to come in and see it but you? Since you will be sitting in the tub facing it, it should definitely be something that suits you to gaze upon, something you won't tire of seeing.. (I might tire of a quote.) You might have fun considering different shapes of frames -- round, hexagon, gothic arch -- or a long verticle rectangle. Hard to make suggestions without knowing if the style and core colors of the artwork you have is something you want to basically want to match or if you want something to contrast it in some way -- more minimalist or something distinctly figurative or a classic art work... etc).
