1. Woodland/Log Cabin: The perfect look for this room, make sure to add a lot of green. Hang up a few pictures or portraits of the woods. Add some colorful bird accessories.

2. Hunting: If you have a hunter in the family this would be the perfect personal space for them. There are so many accessories available that tailor to the outdoors-man or woman. The hardest part will be choosing between all of them. You can mix and match many different animals or go with a specific one; ducks, deer, moose etc.

3. Horses: Speaking of animals, one of the most unique different decorating theme ideas for a brown bathroom is horses. With all of those browns, using this beautiful and well-loved animal to decorate these bathrooms makes perfect sense over some other themes. There are statues and gorgeous pictures or portraits that will bring more color and life into the room. You can add a bit of red and take this one step further with a cowboy/cowgirl look.

4. Leopards: Another animal that is a favorite in many home's decor, leopards would also complement this color perfectly. There are already a wealth of accessories already sporting this spotted cat, all you got to do is look around a bit. You can also just hang up a favorite picture or portrait and add solid black accessories and fabric to to give the room a contemporary minimalist look.

5. Seashells: This is a great option for this color of a room, especially if you have a personal collection from trips to the beach. It's also great if you just want that seaside escape in your own home. Paint the wall a crisp white for contrast and add some of that pearly pink that is found on many shells.
