Experience the fresh ambiance of a sandstone cottage when you decorate your bathroom in a layout theme centered around a tranquil seascape. Soothing colours, natural furnishings plus a light-filled environment could transform an ordinary bathroom into a peaceful, wooded retreat. Ramp up the peaceful seashore appeal with some of your favourite ocean-inspired accessories.
Stay Calm and Carry On
Fill your bathroom with a soothing palette of purple hues, such as ocean blue, sailboat white, sandy beige, aqua green and watery coral. By way of instance, paint the lower half of the walls a soothing blue to remind you of an endless ocean, and install pristine white tiles on the top half of the walls to communicate the fresh ambiance of white, puffy clouds. If you are feeling artsy, pick a single wall where to paint a seascape mural of a wooded coastline and tranquil ocean on a calm, sunny day. Or pick curtain with whimsical whale, sand castle, dolphin or beach umbrella motifs to introduce a slightly amusing design element to the room. Inject beige, coral and aqua tones to the room with accessories, bathroom towels, rugs and shower curtains.
Feel the Beach
Bring the organic textures discovered outside inside your sea-inspired bathroom. Insert a glass-tiled backsplash as a reminder of the sparkling ocean on a sunny day. Furnish the room with eco-friendly rattan pieces, such as a vanity, clothes hamper, shelving unit and storage armoire. Place earthy sisal dot carpets on top of hard-surface floors to perpetuate the coastal charm. Tuck a palm tree in a vacant corner to get a decorative touch of energizing greenery. Glam up a plain mirror by wrap broad nautical rope around its perimeter to include seaworthy charm.
Brighten the Mood
Whenever you’ve got a breathtaking ocean view from your toilet, keep the windows found to enjoy the unobstructed seascape. Opt for natural bamboo shades which it is simple to lower or increase whenever you would like. Or install white-painted wooden blinds or interior shutters that allow you to easily alter the amount and direction of incoming sunlight when improving the fresh, beachy appeal. Promote a bright and cheery seafaring atmosphere by illuminating your bathroom with a chandelier made of natural capiz seashells; hang shiny chrome sconces on the walls to match the artificial light sources.
Open the Treasure Chest
Punctuate the soothing purple hues and natural textures with vibrant accessories that will not clutter the very simple design. Hang antique boardwalk signals on the walls to integrate a bit of coastal nostalgia in your bathtub, or deck the walls with dazzling tropical fish mirrors or soothing framed seascapes. Scatter some of the sea-inspired treasures around the space, such as a woven basket featuring sand dollars and starfish, colorful glass bottles full of sand and clear jars filled full of seashells.
