Do you use a tank cover or seat cover? I do not use either of them but did for a long time since my Mom always did. She had that contour rug too for years. I have rugs in my bathroom but a large and a small but not that contour.

And what do you put on your bathroom walls? Right now I have not one thing on mine. I need to spruce it up as it looks plain and dull. I have a nice shower curtain, and a nice mat I use near the shower.

No, I don't use any of those more traditional bath accessories. In the main bathroom, I have several smaller area rugs for the floor that I switch out and several actual bathmats for use when getting out of the shower. Although I have medicine cabinets with mirrors that came with the place and that I'd like to switch out, I have a somewhat ornate mirror over the toilet and an architectural print on the wall across from the vanity, though I sometimes change the print. I have two towel bars and use pretty towels and shower curtains that I change out from time to time for decorative purposes, The towels actually used hang on hooks behind the door.

The large round mirror that hangs in my bathroom was my Moms that was purchased in 1934 (I believe).

My apartment bathroom is strictly utilitarian. To add a little personality, I have a couple mermaid themed things on the wall...a tin sign and a carved wooden mermaid. I have two small teal throw rugs on the floor. Look at them when I go in there, and not the cheap linoleum!

I don't use those contour rugs or tank coverings either. I have 2 decorative rugs in our Master Bath, and they go with our decorative shower curtain, but they aren't a perfect match. That bathroom is done in Navy and Cream, so I have a Navy and Cream picture on one of the walls, and a decorative towel rack on the other with really pretty towels. I do have a couple of smaller vases on my counter top that match up with the rest of my bathroom. Thats about it, I don't like to have too much, other wise it seems too cluttered!

My bathroom is small but efficient. I have a huge mirror over the vanity. On the window wall I have a few medium size pictures. I have one/two rugs on the floor and thati's it.

I don't use those matching sets for my bathroom stool. I do have a rug in front of my sink and another one I put down for when I shower. For decor, I have a framed picture (it might even be a postcard) of one of the waterfalls at Letchworth State Park in New York. I also have a flat basket made of wood slats that has flowers in it. I actually need to change out the flowers or find something else for that space. I also have a three tiered wood shelf that hangs above my stool. On it are my lotions, basket w/ makeup, cotton balls, small clock and lots of my shells that I've collected over the years. Those are in small glass bowls.

My townhouse bathrooms are small, my powder room is incredibly small, so I have very little on the walls as it needs to be very thin profile so you don't bang into it.

I have these butterflies from Hobby Lobby in my main bathroom.

No, I do not use those. I don't have anything on any of my bathroom walls. I think about it, that I need to spruce it up a little, but I never do. We remodeled three upstairs bathroom down to the studs and everything looks fresh and new and I just can't bring myself to put a hole in the wall. Maybe I'll get over it, it's been 2 years. LOL!

How do I say this -- 4 grandsons, 1 son, 1 son-in-law, 1 hubby who misses a lot. No, I don't use any extra material around the commode that could get soiled. I do use rugs on the floor and weekly wash a contour rug. Guest bathroom is my favorite. Bronze with varied shades of neutrals. Metal beach scene behind commode, framed lighthouse / boat scene above towell rack - that I purchased at Hendersonville, NC art show (mom's home town) and above the scales - poem about awesome women. That poem helps me when I stand on the scales. Mbath has a photo we took and enlarged on canvas of magnificent sunset at Seaside Beach, FL. Makes me smile. Our Mbath is pretty, but utilitarian. Basement bath has neutral-colored tiled in walk-in shower and turquoise accessories; southwestern. No wall art.

Never have used those.

I do have a larger reversible cotton rug in front of vanity with smaller matching one in front of toilet not a contour rug.

I don't need any rugs in the bathrooms but DH complains about the cold tile floors in the winter.

I keep my bathroom as minimalist as possible just because it's easier to clean and I don't like the thought of things "collecting" on stuff. Just a rug by the shower, soap dispenser and hand lotion. Toothbrushes, makeup, appliances go under the sink cabinets unless I'm using it. I do have a few pictures by the sink on either side of the duall sinks but it's away from the toilet area.

My Mom ALWAYS used a tank cover and a seat cover. The tank covers never fit very well. I have a lid cover on only one of our for toliets, and the blue color of the cover has rubbed off onto the seat, and I can not seem to get it off!

My mom used those matching seat covers and rugs around the toilet. I used them a couple years in my first apartment, but I decided I didn’t need or want them. All I have is a bath mat on the floor for when we get out of the tub.

Our full bath has a large metal wall hanging on the wide wall and a smaller one on the narrow wall. Easy to wipe off and clean. I have a printed shower curtain with solid towels that coordinate. I have 2 glass jars with lids for cotton swabs & cotton balls on the counter and a metal container that holds a square box of tissues. I do not like lots of decorative stuff on my bath counters.

I do have a bathroom rug which is by my vanity. I also have various fish and mermaid decor on my walls, they are in the retro category.

I have never used a tank cover and ditched the seat cover years ago. I don't even know why I had one. I have a clock on the wall in my master and a picture in each bathroom. That sounds mundane and I guess it is. Lol.

My cousin is a fearless decorator and made their tiny powder room a stunning interior with muted walls, narrow tall mirrors and beautiful international masks...an Italian opera house vibe. It may sound weird but it was so unexpected and well done it was elegant.
