You don’t need to live near the ocean to decorate your bathroom in a lovely and unique lighthouse theme. Bringing the beauty and the history of lighthouses to your home bathroom decor is fun, easy and will surely create a conversation piece for visitors. This home decorating article will tell you all you need to know to redecorate your master or guest bathroom in a bright and beautiful lighthouse theme.
How to Decorate Your Bathroom in a Lighthouse Theme: Paint. A lighthouse themed bathroom should definitely have clean and bright white painted walls. If your bathroom paint color is already white, you may be able to skip the repainting job and simply thoroughly clean the walls with a Mr.Clean Magic Eraser. If you are removing previous decor and have nail holes, you will need to Spackle and touch up with your current white paint color. If your bathroom paint color is a darker color than white, be sure to prime the walls thoroughly before repainting so that the original paint color does not show through. Consider painting the bottom half of the walls a deep tomato read to complement your lighthouse accessories. This may seem like too bold of a color for a small room, but I guarantee it will be striking and look absolutely lovely.
How to Decorate Your Bathroom in a Lighthouse Theme: White Wicker. White wicker accessories are perfect for a lighthouse themed bathroom. The white will give the bathroom a clean and fresh feel and offset the red beautifully while the wicker evokes thoughts of summer beach houses. Place a small white wicker basket on the side of the sink to hold washcloths and small soaps. A white wicker corner shelf can hold larger spare towels on the bottom shelf while the top tiers can display your gorgeous lighthouse decorations.
How to Decorate Your Bathroom in a Lighthouse Theme: Prints. No lighthouse themed bathroom would be complete without several lighthouse prints on the walls. The most unique lighthouse prints with a historical flair can be found at little boutiques and out of the way shops. Beach town stores have the best selection and give buyers a little local history on their lighthouse landmark. Thrift and consignment stores are also excellent places to find lighthouse prints quite different than what you will find in mass retail department stores.
How to Decorate Your Bathroom in a Lighthouse Theme: Candle Holders. Party Lite offers many lighthouse themed candle holders in all sizes. If you do not know anyone who is a current Party Lite consultant, you can order directly from them through their on line store. Fill your lighthouse themed candle holders with scented votives or pillars that have light and natural scents which will remind family and guests of the outdoors.
How to Decorate Your Bathroom in a Lighthouse Theme: Decorative Lighthouses. Fill your white wicker corner table and shelves with decorative lighthouses. These are relatively easy to find, but again, the most interesting ones can be found in shops near vacation or resort towns. Head to your local bookstore and purchase a hardcover book that features brilliant photographs as well as the history of famous lighthouse and prop it open on a shelf.
How to Decorate Your Bathroom in a Lighthouse Theme: Miscellaneous Beach Decor. If your lighthouse themed bathroom still looks a little sparse, you can fill in any gaps with a light touch of beach decor such as a jar of seashells, mini votive holders filled with sand under the candle and a small decorative ships wheel or anchor hung on the bathroom door.
