subject: Some Ideas For Beach Theme Bathroom Decor [print this page] If you want to have a beach themed bathroom, the decor is important. You can't have just any colors and styles of towels and soaps, then just hang up a few pictures of the beach and call it beach decor - no sir!
For a beach themed bathroom, think of the decor as a way to bring more of the beach into the room. Look at the decor as a way to emphasize the joys of the beach - of the sand in between the toes, and the wind in your hair. Let the memories of collecting seashells in a bucket come back to life within the walls of your bathroom.
Colors for a Beach Themed Bathroom
The decor colors for this type of bathroom needs to evoke memories of the beach. Rather than bright, eye-catching colors that you might consider using for a western theme, or a modern style bathroom, focus on colors that occur naturally in the beach setting.
First, think of the sky - blue as the bluest sky you've ever seen. This type of blue works really well in a beach themed bathroom - it fits the decor.
Next, think of the sand - the tan colors of the sand, as it runs through your fingers when you pick up a handful of it. The sand is a lot of different colors, if you look at it closely - so choose shades of tan that work with the other colors you are using, and more than one neutral can be used if you want.
Consider the water. If you're on a good beach, the classic type of beach, the water is aqua - a smooth blue-green. This shade of aqua can be used together with the blue or stand alone.
What of the coral and shells on the beach? The color of coral, a type of pinky-orange, together with brownish shades of shells, is another color that works well in the decor of a beach themed bathroom.
Other Things to Think about
Some other ideas for decorating a beach bathroom are to have other items that are "beachy" on the counters or walls. For example, a photo or art of the beach is a nice addition, as are hand soaps in the shape of shells.
Think about looking for a shower curtain that has shells on it, or is decorated like the sand, water, and clouds. Or watch for hand towels that have shells or waves on them. Even a hand soap dispenser can be bought that has a decorative water with starfish and other fish on it, tying it in well with the beach bathroom theme for decor.
