Fish Bathroom Wall Decor

Decorating with a fish motif adds a splash to any bathroom.


There are a variety of options for decorating bathroom walls with fish. You can find fish decor related to ponds and lakes, exotic fish, oceans, sailing and other nautical themes. Decorating the walls with fish can be done by buying all of your accents, making them yourself or a combination of both.


Stamping


Stamping your bathroom walls with fish is fun and inexpensive. First you need to buy or make fish stamps in the shapes you want. Kitchen sponges can be cut into fish shapes. You can also make sponge stamps of shells, boats, or seaweed shapes from the sponges. When your stamps are ready, dip them into paint and stamp away in any area of the bathroom you want.


Paper Mache’


Paper mache is a fun creative fish project. Cut fish shapes of card board and make paper mache glue by mixing water and flour to the consistency of pancake batter. Tear strips of tissue paper to cover the cardboard. When everything is ready, dip the tissue in the paste mixture and cover the cardboard completely three to four times; making sure to wrap the tissue around the edges. When dry, decorate with paint, jewels, sequins, etc. and spray with clear lacquer. Put a picture frame hanger on the back and hang.


Fish Net


Using fishing net and fish tank items on a bathroom wall is a neat way to decorate. Buy fish netting and colorful fish tank items such as rocks, seaweed and decorative fish. Attach the netting to the wall with small nails making sure to drape the netting in a manner that you feel is attractive. Attach the fish tank items to the netting with hot glue or hot glue Christmas ornament hooks to the items and hang them on the netting.


Floor Decor








When decorating the bathroom with a fish theme, don't forget to think about the floor. You can find very trendy fish themed bath mats and rugs, but don't think floor, think wall. These bath mats can be hung on the bathroom wall with light weight nails.


Shower Curtain Walls








There are many beautiful shower curtains with fish themes. These can be used as wall hangings quite easily. One thing to do is to cut the fish out of the shower curtain and attach these around the wall of the bathroom with adhesive. They can look like they are swimming in the ocean or water. A shower curtain can also be attached to the wall or part of a wall like wall paper using an adhesive made for plastic or fabric.
