Consider some of these themes for your next bathroom remodeling

Using bathroom theme ideas presents both challenges and rewards. No matter what look you are trying to re-create and whether you opt for antique or modern vanities, a beautifully decorated bathroom is sure to impress guests, visitors and those lucky enough to live in a home with such unusual décor.

Sometimes it doesn’t take much; just some slight flourishes such as stripes, to brighten up a dull-looking bathroom. Spicing up, whether you go for stripes or even polka dots (which are great for kids’ bathrooms, by the way), requires a light touch. Remember the cross over from flourish to gaudy in bathroom theme ideas occurs without warning and as subtly as the alteration from unsuspecting cucumber to tart pickle.

By themselves, bathrooms are not very interesting. Mirrors are usually plain, light fixture and counters rather mundane. Sometimes a single alteration, such as a new and different light fixture, can make a sweeping statement in the look of your bathroom. Remember too that money that might go to decorating often is needed for disguising problems such as leaks and bad caulking rather than beautifying the room. Water damage can be very costly and it can seep into the foundation of your home, rotting out the wood and leading to insect infestation.






In the long run, the first consideration for bathroom themes should be longevity. While trendy themes such as popular movies, favorite celebrities, and hobbies are appealing, when those interests fade, redecoration may well be in order. If you want to experiment with different bathroom themes, use neutral base colors such as soft shades of cream, blue, green, or yellow because these tones will coordinate easily with future redecorating plans.


What are some different bathroom theme ideas?


1- Under the sea
You may not be seeking to replicate the view from 20,000 leagues under the sea, but perhaps you are hoping for the sensation of the world as seen from beneath the surface of the water. Begin with basic aquatic colors such as teal, blue and green in light soothing shades. You might want to add a splash of “sea scenery” (be careful; don’t go over board) with seashells, dolphins etc. The floors, cabinets and shelving could be light shades of brown, which might simulate sand, and a white ceiling fosters the illusion of clouds. A final touch could be a shell-shaped sink.

2- Rainforest
This bathroom theme can be easily achieved by integrating flooring and wall covering made of bamboo. You can also incorporate eco-friendly products that complement bamboo, which is the world’s fastest growing wood. Mixing different wood trimmings and grains will create a unique effect on floors and walls. Accessories such as posters and prints that reflect the flora and fauna of tropical rainforests integrate well with this theme.

3- Rubber Duck
One of the most nostalgic and popular bathroom themes is the rubber duck. For most of us, these floating icons are positive symbols of childhood. They can be lined up on shelves or along the sink, and a pale yellow shower curtain, orange towels and a few other accessories will render all the “duckie” qualities you need except for maybe the ability to quack. (You are on your own as far as that goes.)

4-Asian bathrooms
Asian settings are fast becoming among the trendiest of bathroom themes. Some ideas include integrating small palms, Asian lettering and bamboo in different designs. Mosaics and etched glass are often used as well. Use scented candles and potpourri with Asian accents.

5- Zen bathrooms
One of the most imaginative bathroom themes, this modeling scheme focuses on balance and nature, a look achieved by utilizing neutral and calming colors with accessories like candles and wicker baskets. Bamboo towel racks and toilet-paper holders add to the effect as well as tropical plants and a water-resistant CD player that plays soothing nature sounds.

The only limits to the many different bathroom themes are those of your own imagination. Whether you opt for a room that is quiet and generally eco-friendly or fun and kooky, the sky is the limit. Via the use of appropriate accessories and coordinating colors, almost any idea for a bathroom theme can be achieved.
