Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Paint the walls a calming blue or green color. These sea inspired colors will complement the rest of the aquatic decor. A wall border with a water scene can be a nice touch as well.

Step2

Buy accessories that fit into your aquatic theme. Many retailers will sell sets that include soap dishes, shower curtains, lotion pumps and tissue holders. Buy a set that can be related to the water, whether it is seashells, fish or sailboats. Remember to also buy the matching waste basket and toothbrush holder.

Step3

Put down a nautical-themed bath mat. Find one that depicts a beach scene, a sailboat or a group of fish swimming under the sea.

Step4

Hang pictures that have aquatic-inspired depictions. A simple seascape can be a tasteful and classic choice. A sea-inspired light switch can also be a nice added touch.

Step5

Bring in part of the beach to finish your aquatic-themed bathroom. A jar of sand strategically placed can make the bathroom feel like a day at the beach. Seashells can also be placed around the bathroom.

Tips & Warnings

A rubber duck or fish bathroom set can fit into your aquatic-themed bathroom.
Don’t go overboard with the aquatic theme. Too many sea-inspired accessories will look tasteless.
