Decorate A Bathroom In A Fishing Theme

Use real fishing lures in your fishing-themed bathroom.


Decorate your bathroom with a fishing theme if you're going for a rustic look or just want to incorporate your passion for fishing. Stick to your favorite type of fish, such as bass or trout, or use a variety of different species. The colors should include earth tones, such as blues or greens mixed in with brown. Choose a style that complements the rest of your home, such as a cartoon look or realistic vibe.








Instructions


1. Paint the walls to look like water, or use a simple beige color with a fish border. Paint your own fish border or create your own using real fishing lures. Because most bathrooms are on the smaller side, busy patterns--such as lure-covered wallpaper--may overwhelm the small space.








2. Hang a shower curtain from hooks that resemble real fish hooks and boast images of different fish or a scene of a fisherman in the middle of a still lake with his line in the water. A solid-colored shower curtain is ideal if the walls have a lot going on.


3. Use fishing-themed items on the counter, such as a toothbrush holder that has images of fish hooks or lures all over it. The soap dish can look like a fish. Use a tissue cover that looks like a fishing boat.


4. Hang pictures or novelty items on the walls to further your fishing theme. A wooden sign that says "Gone fishin'" is one idea. Use a small shelf with hooks on it that resembles a fishing boat instead of using a traditional towel bar.


5. Display fish-themed towels or use plain brown, green, blue or white towels, if the rest of the bathroom has a lot of color and patterns.


6. Add the finishing touches with a few accessories, such as fish-shaped bath mats, a toilet seat covered in fishing lure images, fishing boat models on a shelf or a fish-themed wall clock.
