Using beach themed wallpaper to bring the ocean home is a marvellous idea for the bathroom. The intricate designs will bring the beach to life on your walls. They are easy to install, and there already is a vast selection of readily available designs.

Before getting started with any significant changes to the walls, you would need to make sure all the walls are clean before using any paint or wallpaper. Clean bathroom walls is a prerequisite when painting or installing wallpaper. Due to this, you will be well better off equipped with the knowledge about how to clean a bathroom.

Ask your loved ones what would they like to see on the bathroom walls, show them the options. Just go with the majority vote or veto it and just surprise them with the best one.

Modern bathroom wallpaper is waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined and causing any mould on your walls. If you have experience in installing wallpaper then installing bathroom wallpaper shouldn’t be any different.

Paint the walls

Changing the colour of your walls to aqua themed colours or beach inspired wallpapers would have a significant impact on the overall ambience of your bathroom. There are four walls, the ceiling and even the floor that you can do this on.

Using paint would require more preparation, you would need to be careful and cautious about not getting any paint on any of the bathroom fixtures. In the off chance that you do get paint all over the floor or fixtures, just wash them clean.

If you have a painter in the family or if you can commission an artist to paint unique beach art on the walls then go for it. If not you can just choose ocean colours and paint the walls yourself.

Changing the bathroom shower curtains into vivid tapestries of the beach or aquatic life is a sure fire way to bring the ocean and the beach home. Excellent as aquarium decor ideas, this simple change will have a significant effect on enhancing the ambience of your beach themed bathroom.

Since it is very affordable you can purchase three different designs to work in rotation, so when one is installed in the wash, the other is in the wash, and the last one is in the closet. It is good to have some variety for your shower curtains, the more, the merrier, so you don’t get bored of your beach themed bathroom.

Also, just as a bonus, a clean tub is already an amazing piece of “decor.” Therefore, knowing how to clean a bathtub would be great, since it doesn’t count as “decor” if it is dirty!
