Nautical Colorful
Decorating With Nautical Bathroom Accessories
Nautical bathroom decor is the easiest and cheapest theme available for a complete bathroom makeover. It is all about minimalism and muted colors that vary very little across elements.
The color scheme, of course, is that of the typical beach. These colors include light blue, cream, sand, and white wash. If you like you may also include green and driftwood to add some more color.
A soft tone of sand or white wash should be used for the wall colors if you are going for the typical beach feel. If you would like to have a richer, cozier feel, choose a golden sandy color that can represent a warm night time beach scene.
Are wall tiles causing trouble for you? If you cannot afford to replace them, do not fret, they can be painted and this theme allows for shoddy jobs if you do not get them right. You must first start with clean and dry tiles. The next step is to apply and let dry a layer of primer. Finally, coat with waterproof paint. The customer service agents at the hardware store should be able to point you toward the best choice of product for the job.
The easiest part of this whole process is accessorizing your tropical bathroom. This can be made even easier if you live near a beach that allows for collection of items. Some municipalities have outlawed removing things from the beach so make sure it is acceptable before you beachcomb. Rocks, shells, sand, drift wood, and other found objects can be crafted into soap dishes, baskets, and picture frames. There is also the possibility of creating art with the found objects.
If you are not crafty, lack the time or patience, or live no where near a beach, all is not lost. You would be surprised about how many great and cheap items you can find at yard sales, thrift stores, discount dealers, and dollar stores. Before embarking on your shopping trip, however, take a look at items you already own. Some things can be turned beach by buffing and white washing or even by being left outside for a few days.
The best thing about this theme is that the accessories don't necessarily have to match. The beach theme is all about being airy and random. Shower curtains and towels will do in simple white or cream. Baskets and furniture should be wicker, white washed wood, or weathered wood. Weathered wood will bring a richer feel into the room with it's darker color.
Keep simple with the art for the walls as well. The pieces that will work the best will contain only one or two small subjects and will be housed in a large frame. If it is decided you would like to include a mural, be careful as they can end up being tacky instead of tasteful more often than not.
One forgotten about element that is important in this theme is the use of plants. Flowers and grasses grow at the edges of beaches all the time. A great choice to brighten the room is a flower in yellow and some very leafy greens or even grasses themselves.
The most important thing to remember is simple and minimal. A great final touch to give the room a warmer feel is the inclusion of candles.
