Beachcomber Bathroom Decor

When I think back to my days on the beach it's the sunshine and the water that come to mind. The water was a sparkling blue and the sunshine soft. The water and the sunshine provided the background showcasing the boats, birds, beach goers, and sea shells.

Keep that in mind if you decide to paint the bathroom walls. The walls are the background and add to the overall décor, but shouldn't overwhelm the rest.

My personal favorite is a soft yellow. It can be brightened or toned down depending on the seasons and my ever-changing decorating mood.

Choosing a focal point is not always easy. In a small bathroom it may be simply the shell covered shower curtain and a little shadow box on the wall. In a larger bathroom there are considerably more options. Keep picture proportional to the space available. A poster sized print would look out of place in a little bathroom just as a tiny shadow box would look silly hanging by itself on a large, unadorned wall.

What and how much you add to the room is a personal decision. Are you fond of fancy toilet seats? Do you prefer matching rugs and shower curtains? Add one or two items at a time until the room looks the way you want it too.

Use Caution!

If your bathroom is small, too many patterns and colors will overwhelm the room.

Curved Shower Rod

Curved Shower Rod

Create the illusion of a larger tub and eliminate that tight, enclosed feeling while showering. Easy-to-install curved shower rod reduces curtain cling and greatly reduces shower spray to help keep floors dry. Works with standard shower curtains and liners.

Bamboo Towels and Rugs

It's the little things that give a room the personal touch. Add a sweet grass basket filled with seashells to your vanity. Get rid of the plastic bottle of hand soap and replace it with a seashell dispenser. What about the toothbrush holder? Guest soaps? Hand towels?

Your options and choices are endless. Have fun with it, and when you're done, grab a glass of wine, settle into a tub full of bubbles, and dream of lazy days on the beach...
