IMPORTANT! In any interior where a DIY bathroom decor is possible - it is simply necessary to do it.
It will give the interior a unique and individual style. For example, the decor of mirrors. This can be everything that the fantasy tells: an unusual frame in various versions (decorative mosaic or ceramic tile), a baguette (as for decorating pictures) made of the most unusual materials (plastic, wood, shells, stones, reeds, etc.), or individual drawing on the free surface of the mirror.

Ideal for some styles, do-it-yourself home decoration. A great example is a newspaper-tube vintage. If a person is fond of creativity, to make such an object is not difficult.
Materials for work: newspapers, glue, scissors, clothespins, any object for shaping the future product, wooden skewer, decorative materials for design.
Vintage newspaper tubes - practical and beautiful!
Using a skewer, we make blanks for newspaper tubes. We pre-coat the newspaper sheet with glue to fix it, wind it onto a skewer. Gradually remove the skewer, we get a tube that looks like a vine.
Tip: if painting tubes is required, it is better to do this in the form of blanks, rather than a finished product.
While the tubes are drying out, we cut out the future bottom from thick cardboard. It can be round or square as desired and should consist of two parts. The tubes to the base are glued between two layers of cardboard and are fixed with clothespins. When the glue dries, weaving can begin. It is advisable to enclose the shape and braid it. Horizontal tube braids vertical. When one ends, gently paste the next one. So the product looks solid. At the end of the work, glue the protruding ends with glue and fix with clothespins. Decorate as desired.

If the owners are lucky, and they are the owners of a large bathroom, then there is much more room for creativity and imagination for the application of various styles and the choice of materials.
