Want to feel the breeze of the ocean and the sand between your toes…while in your bathroom?

Nicely, possibly we can’t get all of that just by decorating but we can give your bathroom that “essence de plage” or Beach Essence feel.

Feel of all those things associated with the beach – water, sand, air, beach toys, boats and marine accessories, rocks and shells and of course, enjoyable just to name a couple of.

Does that inspire you? I am already beginning to get inspired.

Let’s start off with a wall paint colour. Lately, the trends in paint colours have moved from darker, intense colours to lighter, softer and gentler colours.

These colours incorporate some very appropriate beach colours – sea blues, soft water blues, and light aquas – the excellent backdrop for a Beach themed bathroom. Use a soft sea and sky blue to represent just that.

Pick a terry cloth shower curtain. These are widely available now – virtually everywhere. They are offered in a number of colours but, tend to be found mostly in white, which is perfect. Nevertheless, if you are creative and can sew, why not make your own…as I did.

 “I can afford it” Guidelines : When I produced the shower curtain in my children’s bathroom, terry cloth shower curtains were not widely obtainable and if they had been, they were extremely expensive. So, I thought I will make one using straightforward towels sewn together. As I began looking at the towels offered and knew that they would be like blocks on the shower curtain, I decided that a colour blocked shower curtain would be excellent. I decide on three colours – a extremely light green, a sea and sky light blue and white. With a bit of measuring, I calculated that I would need 6 of these towels. With no finishing required :-) , I sewed them together. I used grommets for the shower curtain ring holes. They can be bought at your nearby hardware or sewing supplies store. Voila…I had a terry cloth, colour blocked shower curtain…for about .00!

 Any sort of sand coloured flooring would be wonderful…and how appropriate! It would most likely be greatest to use a tan coloured ceramic tile. “I can afford it” Suggestions : Or find a vinyl floor covering which resembles a sandy coloured ceramic tile.

“I can afford it” Ideas : Use polished rocks to decorate. Add them to develop a frame on a easy mirror. Or make a border on the wall with these gorgeous rocks. A ceramic tile glue works well for these tasks. How about employing these rocks to fill a glass jar for display – a simple, but successful and beautiful accessory.

Seashells could be utilized in the same way as the decorative polished rocks. They will possibly give you even a lot more impact than the rocks as they normally have far more variety in their natural shapes and sizes. You may possibly try employing the seashells as a decorative border on your mirror and rocks as a wall border.

Discover some creative uses for natural rope twine. Make a border on the walls with the rope. Staple it on the walls or use little finish nails to hold it in place. Or, wrap it around a plain mirror to turn it from basic to sensational. Note: Do not use hot glue in a bathroom, as it will not stand up to the moisture.

Loops of rope could be produced to hang your shower curtain – extremely cute, affordable and much nicer than any plastic shower curtain ring.

Use all three of these affordable decorating items, polished rocks, seashells and rope, in some exclusive and creative way. There are hundreds of approaches to do this. 

For a more luxurious essence de plage bathroom, get your self a teak floor mat to location beside your tub or shower. This is a flat slatted shelf-like item that goes on the floor. It is meant to act somewhat like a drain board – the excess water will go by means of the slats. This is especially for the finest of beach house bathrooms!

For those green, organic environmentalists (like myself), new on the market are some wood products made of the renewable resource, bamboo. (Bamboo grows really fast generating it highly renewable.) You can find bath mats, tiny stool benches and much more…offering you with a quite similar, but, lighter wood look, of teak.

Do not forget about some new towels. Pick some in the very same colour scheme we have already established. White is wonderful for a clean, fresh beach look. Blues and tans will make for a less formal searching beach theme – great for youngsters.

If this is a children’s bathroom, use enjoyable beach nautical themed accessories – and I really mean fun accessories. For example, I utilised sand buckets/pails as storage units on the countertop – fantastic for hairbrushes and other hair goodies (for the small girl in the house), toothbrushes, toothpaste, and far more. Store additional rolls of toilet paper in a big sand bucket on the floor. When not in use as storage containers, the kids will love them in the tub. How enjoyable and really an “I can afford it” accessory!

If you are not inclined to do-it-yourself, then you can constantly shop for beach themed bathroom merchandise and get the look and feel without having any work involved. Shop now for nautical beach themed bathroom decor and accessories to get your own essence de plage bathroom!
