I remember when I first started decorating my own bathroom as a teenager.
I went all out with fluffy rugs, scented candles, and more pink than you could imagine.
It was my own little girly oasis where I could relax and pamper myself for hours.
Looking back now, those early decor attempts were a bit over-the-top.
But my love for creating a feminine bathroom retreat has never gone away.
If you want to turn your bathroom into a glamorous, girly space, I’ve got plenty of fun ideas to share.
