How to Decorate a Bathroom With a River Rock Tile Border

River rock tile is a mosaic-like surface made of smooth, river-worn pebbles. The natural colors, shapes and irregularities of the stones adds to the charm of river rock, and gives a soothing, spa-like feel to the bathroom. River rock tile is most often used on the bathroom floor, but is also used inside showers or as a decorative border on the bathroom walls. The natural, rugged style of river rock is most suited to a bathroom with a clean, eco-friendly decorating theme.

Instructions

- 1
  Paint your bathroom walls tan, warm gray or a cream tone that sets off the colors in your river rock border.
- 2
  Install pewter or brushed metal towel bars and toilet paper holders. Look for designs with decorative, ornate details, rather than plain fixtures.
- 3
  Purchase thick, luxurious towels and a bath mat in natural colors such as brown, tan, white or a deep barn red.
- 4
  Replace the sink faucet fixture with a contemporary design in a brushed metal finish.
- 5
  Use baskets to hold extra toilet paper, toiletries and other bathroom supplies.
- 6
  Add a lush plant to your bathroom in an attractive pot. Chinese evergreen is a houseplant that does well in the low light of most bathrooms.
- 7
  Hang one or two small framed pictures on the bathroom walls. Look for images of natural, outdoor scenes. Black and white photos would also work well for a tranquil environment.
- 8
  Group two or three candles on the bathroom counter in contemporary brushed metal holders.
- 9
  Choose a wastebasket in bamboo or another natural material, and a toothbrush holder and soap dispenser in brushed metal or a stone finish.
