Bathrooms these days aren’t just closet-size rooms in which to bathe and take care of business. The average person spends countless hours each week in the smallest room in the house while getting ready for work, school, and preparing for daily activities. It’s a room that’s worthy of more than just bare walls. Many people chose a bathroom theme to make this common room more decorative and more appealing to guests as well as family members, and it’s a great way to express your individual style and decorating preference.
The following theme ideas are different than the ordinary duck, frog, and tropical fish ideas that many people choose for their bathrooms. Although some follow a classic theme, the decorating ideas provided here will hopefully spark more ideas in which you can build on. Open your imagination, and consider these bathroom theme ideas while decorating your very own place for refreshing your mind, body, and spirit.
How about turning your bathroom into a beautiful butterfly garden? It’s easy to follow this pretty bathroom theme, and you’ll have endless choices when shopping for accessories. Consider choosing a wallpaper border with butterflies and flowers, and select a light shade from the border if you plan to paint the room. Alternately you can purchase wall decals with a butterfly motif and resin or ceramic butterflies in all shapes and sizes. Finish decorating the room with a butterfly shower curtain, a color-coordinating rug, and embroidered towels that are as decorative as they are useful.
The Beach
Most everyone loves the beach, and what better place to go with a beach theme than a bathroom? A beach theme bathroom can be decorated with beautiful shells of all shapes and sizes, sand dollars, starfish, and a variety of other sea creature replicas. Sand sculptures also add a nice touch when searching for ideas. Consider filling a small metal pail with shells, polished stones, and beach glass, and complete the room with a beach theme shower curtain and matching accessories. Use your imagination to turn your bathroom into a unique ocean shore oasis that’s worthy of any home décor magazine.
A bathroom is also a perfect place to implement a sailboat theme. If you love sailboats, consider choosing a sailboat shower curtain, color-coordinating towels, rugs, and matching accessories. Choose light shades of creamy yellow for the walls to give it a sunny appearance, or choose light aqua shades for a Caribbean look. This theme can also be combined with a beach theme for a unique bathroom that you’ll absolutely love. The decorating ideas are endless with this unique bathroom theme.
Rainforest
A rainforest theme will provide a multitude of choices when decorating your bathroom. Choose bathroom décor with topical rainforest animals, plants, and flowers. Light green or tan is the perfect choice for walls, and darker towels and rugs will make the room pop. Also, if your bathroom offers plenty of light, consider a few tropical plants. They’ll love the humidity, and they’ll complete the look of the room while giving it a natural appearance. You’ll find dozens of bathroom items online or in the bath aisle of most major discount stores, and you’ll probably come up with many more great ideas. The options are virtually endless with this versatile bathroom theme.
If your family loves to fish, consider the last place you took a fishing vacation, and follow that particular theme when coming up with ideas for decorating your bathroom. I love fishing in the upper peninsula of Michigan, and I chose a sport fishing theme for my bathroom that includes bluegill, bass, and colorful lake perch. It’s painted in a light shade of green, and decorated with sport fishing plaques, resin and polymer clay figures, and darker color-coordinating towels, window treatments, and throw rugs. Consider choosing ocean fish or freshwater fish for your bathroom theme, and select a shower curtain to complete the look of the room.
