Cures for the Bathroom Blues

Rosallee Scott
Have one of those bathrooms that have the blues? Here are five different decorating theme ideas for a blue bathroom.

1. Ocean: This is the most obvious look when you are surrounded by blues. But you do not have to go with the standard fishes or dolphins that adorn many powder rooms across the nation. How about a shark theme? You can display movie memorabilia from those famous man-eating movies. For a more contemporary look, add a lot of black and white towels and accessories and hang up a great killer whale print. Mermaids and Mermen are another great choice to add some fairytale fun. When the ocean is your backdrop, you have to remember that there are a lot of fish in the sea!

2. Lighthouse/Ships: Another standard favorite, lighthouses and ships bring you to a faraway adventure every time you enter the room. There are many accessories and prints available from lighthouse figurines to ships in a bottle. You can even throw in some pirate touches for fun!

3. Celestial: Another option, with different decorating theme ideas for a blue bathroom, is to look heavenward for inspiration. There are so many decorative accessories available that your only problem will be deciding on which way to go. You can go with nursery rhyme and have the man in the moon or the cow leaping over it. You can dabble in the stars with pictures of constellations. You can mix it all up in anyway that you choose. The sky is literally the limit!

4. Clouds: Speaking of the sky, another look to go for, would be the great outdoors on cloudy day. Whimsical and a sure crowd pleaser, you can add little touches of birds or butterflies. Hang some birdhouses on the wall for a three dimensional look and you can wake up to nature everyday. Another option would be to go the heavenly route. There are many angel figurines and pictures that show the little cherubs dancing on the fluffy white puffs. Anyone could use a little peaceful inspiration in the morning to start out the day right!

5. Jazz: An abstract option, when looking for different decorating theme ideas for a blue bathroom, would be to decorate with the blues. Get a fabulous print of your favorite jazz singer and/or musician and have it be center-stage. Add a few musical notes and your guests will be humming a pleased tune when they leave the room!
