Art in Bathroom?

I’d like to put one or two framed prints on the wall above the toilet (thinking 8x10) - should it be centered on the wall or on the toilet? One or two frames? Thank you!

Comments (10)I have the exact situation over my towel bar/near the door in my master bath. You don't have enough room for 3 pictures no matter how you hang them. I have one larger print slightly smaller than the width of the towel bar centered over the towel bar and 5"-6" above so you have room to hang and remove your towels without disturbing the picture. Something interesting with the colors of your bath accessories?...See MoreArt Deco bathroom help
Comments (17)Just remembered that someone posted re: faucet handles on my thread - here's the link to rebuild kits for these shelfback sinks - may be helpful to you: https://deabath.com/product-category/faucet-parts/re-build-kits/ Thanks on the wallpaper - it is a bit over the top, but in a way, that is the point ;) I would replace that cabinet over your toilet, maybe something ceiling height, and the medicine cabinet too - looks like it's one of those teeny vintage jobs! We went (or will go) with this cabinet: https://www.build.com/kohler-k-3073-medicine-cabinet/s561069?uid=166624&source=gg-gba-pla_166624!c1337126304!a50339712621!dc!ng&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsdHhBRCwARIsAAhRhskpvIhxDzAiW63B3NWPwU__3KtPvKWTB9BVqkAIhuYl3A1Zvsi1vW8aAlMSEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Gigantic, but like yours, there is little to no storage space in ours. And these lights. Available here, but slightly cheaper on amazon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BS79ZZ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1...See MoreArt work for bathroom?
Comments (9)Whatever you choose, remember that water condensing on glass can run down and get into the frame and dampen/stain the matting. Before I hang art in a steamy bathroom, I will run a small bead of silicone around the glass on the back side of the frame to prevent water getting behind the glass. I know that's probably anal, but it prevents worries that this will be an issue....See MoreLana Ho

By only adding prints above toilet it will only highlight the space even more. Another way would be to add something there. If going that route, suggest waiting to choose/place items on wall.

Good art will not take away from this lovely background.
It would be different if it was a wallpaper that had a theme/story/actions, like this:
This sort of paper I wouldn’t cover with art.
