Lighthouse Bathroom Decor

Colors

• Colors for this bathroom need to be bold and bright. Go with the traditional colors you find on lighthouses to make an impact. Red, blue, yellow and white are pleasing and you can find many accessories to bring these colors into your room. You can choose a red, black and white palette for a more dramatic look or you can go with blue, yellow and white for a more airy and casual feel. Display towels, dispensers and candles that highlight the theme.

Furnishings

• Worn wood and white wicker are pleasing with lighthouse-themed baths. You may want to put a distressed white shelving unit on the wall to store towels and other items. White wicker adds a bright and airy look to the room.

Artwork

• Lighthouse art enhances the mood and feel of rooms. You don't have to spend a lot of money but you do need to bring the essence of the lighthouse scene into your bathroom. Look for prints and reproductions of lighthouses in the colors that match your décor. Shop yard sales and flea markets for unique finds. Look for other interesting pieces of art, such as anchor wall art or maps with lighthouses on them.

Flooring

• Don't forget to complete the look of your bath with a rug. If your theme is more of a rugged look, light colored bath mats might be ideal. For a bathroom adorned with life preservers and signal flags, you might want to go with a bolder color, such as red or blue. For themes with a predominant blue or tan color, choose a rug or mat color that you like best. Lighthouse motifs on rugs are another option.

Accessories

• How you accessorize will make your bathroom feel welcoming. Choose items that reflect your nautical theme, such as dispensers, towels and tumblers with a lighthouse or anchor motif. Display ceramic lighthouses for an extra touch. Choose a shower curtain that blends well with your décor and avoid hanging one with a busy pattern if your bath already has many patterns. Instead, choose decorative curtain hooks, which add an unexpected detail.
