Designing an Ocean Themed Bathroom
One popular way to decorate a bathroom is with an ocean theme. With some ocean-themed décor items, you can give your bathroom a unique ocean look so that every time you set foot in the room, you feel like you’re at the beach. By following these tips and using your creativity, you should be able to come up with an awesome ocean theme for your bathroom.
Paint the Bathroom with Colors from the Ocean
You can quickly transform your bedroom into an ocean retreat by painting it blue, green, tan, and cream: the colors of the ocean. Paint the walls cream and then add a turquoise accent wall for a distinctive twist to the ocean theme. Another great way to add more color to the room is to add yellow, which highlights the feeling of a warm sun over the ocean.
If you’re really creative, then a really unique idea is to paint an ocean mural on one of the walls. This is a great way to fill a large space and can add a wonderful focal point to the décor. If the bathroom is right off your bedroom, then it will seem as if you are right on the ocean.
Use Real Ocean Accessories
Don’t buy all your décor items from the store. Instead, use items you would find down at the beach or ocean. Things such as shells and sand make great additions to an ocean-themed bathroom. To add instant ambiance, place a basket of shells or bottles of sand on the shelf.
Hang an Ocean-Themed Shower Curtain
People often first notice the shower curtain when they walk into a bathroom. By adding an ocean-themed shower curtain, you can really play up this area. You might choose one with a beautiful ocean or beach scene, or go with a more playful look, perhaps with pictures of fish. Choose your curtain based on what type of mood you’re trying to create: ocean retreat or a fun beach theme.
Look for Themed Accessories to Complete the Look
You should have no problem finding ocean-themed bathroom accessories, as this type of theme is rather popular. There should be lots of soap dishes, bath mats, wastebaskets, and even towels that are ocean-themed. A fish-shaped soap dish would work great with a fun variation of this theme, whereas elegant shell-shaped soaps in a blue soap dish would be more appropriate for a serious ocean retreat.
You’ll find that an ocean theme is just as suitable for a child’s bathroom as it is for a master bathroom. After all, there are many different variations upon this theme, from sand sculptures to fish, to lighthouses. Have fun with this theme, and be sure to include your own personality when designing the style.
