Bathroom Decor Camouflage Theme

Walls

• Make the walls standout in true camouflage colors with some creative painting. Divide the wall using a chair rail, and paint the upper portion a tan color. Trace a freehand design on the wall for the bottom section to mimic a camouflage design. The four basic colors are tan, olive green, brown and black. How to proportion the scale of the design or the dominate colors is a matter of personal preference. Before you start to apply the paint, number the sections one through four, and use the numbers as a guide for each paint color. Use this opportunity to make necessary adjustments to the pattern you have traced on the wall.

Window Valance

• Cover the window with a camouflage bandanna. Make a simple valance by draping a row of bandannas over the curtain rod. The number of bandannas will depend on the width of the window and your preference of fullness. Lay each bandanna flat, and fold the material from the top down. Make adjustments to the placement of the fold line until you achieve the desired length of the valance. Most large bandannas are 21 x 21 inches square, which provides adequate material for a valance. Once you chosen the proper placement of the fold, machine stitch 2 inches below the fold to create the casing for the curtain rod. The short length of the folded material can either face out or be hidden from view.

Wall Border

• Tie small bundles of twigs together for a wall border. Choose a manageable length of 3 feet and four or five thin branches. Secure the branches around the middle with twine, and attach near the ceiling with a nail. Arrange the border so the tip of each bundle touches the tip of the one beside it.

Towels and Accessories

• Mix the colors of bath and hand towels to display tan, olive green, brown and black. Show the towels openly on a shelf, and vary the colors if one color is represented more than once. Choose a drinking glass, wastebasket and other displayed accessories in various camouflage colors. Spreading an area rug on the floor for color adds warmth on cold mornings.

Shower Curtain

• A closed shower curtain is a predominate color in a bathroom. Choose tan or olive green when the bathroom is small and has minimal natural lighting. The lighter colors will reflect the light and give the bathroom a more open feeling.
