In the interior of the bathroom, the marine theme suggests itself: it is here that a person is as close as possible to the element of water, reminiscent of the sea and summer vacations. You can partially recreate the color scheme of the seaside in your own bathroom. A well-thought-out design in a nautical style will make the bathroom original, cozy and comfortable at the same time.
Color is of paramount importance in nautical design. It is the successful color scheme that creates the necessary associations with the marine theme. A safe bet is to borrow the colors of the future interior from nature. In this case, even contrasting combinations are very natural.
Traditionally, the nautical-style bathroom is decorated in white, blue and sand colors, as well as shades of turquoise and navy. In the accessories and designs on the tiles, splashes of red are possible, which symbolize the colors of the coral reefs, lifebuoy and ship lighthouses.
White and its shades fit perfectly into any interior in a nautical style. It is the color of sea foam, ship cabins and sails. Depending on the idea, white can dilute or refresh the interior (for this it is applied dosed or pointwise), and also become a universal background.
Finishing features
A nautical theme in the bathroom is created by suitable finishing materials (wood, tiles, porcelain stoneware), matching accessories and themed decor: starfish, stones and shells, colored glass bottles filled with sand, ropes and ropes with nautical knots, a souvenir life buoy etc.
Walls and partitions
The marine style in the bathroom allows a lot of wall finishes:
- Tile. The most common and practical type of decoration. The assortment is represented by smooth and embossed tiles, various designs on the marine theme, including photographic tiles with realistic images.
- Mosaic. You can create real paintings with marine motives from multi-colored mosaics. Simple ornaments in blue and green tones are no less decorative.
- Wooden panels (). In a bathroom, linden products will be appropriate - pre-processed, they are distinguished by increased resistance to moisture. However, wood is not recommended for finishing walls that will be in direct contact with water - for example, those along which a bathtub is installed.
- Painting. Acrylic waterproof paints allow you to quickly give the surface any desired shade and easily change it if necessary.
- ... They are produced with a flat and three-dimensional image. Colors with marine motifs can be used as a panel on an accent wall (optimal for a small bathroom) or on all at the same time. The panels are easy to install, resistant to moisture, and the drawings do not fade over time.
- Glass and glass blocks. Transparent ones transmit light well and reflect the glare of water, so they can be an excellent addition to the marine interior.
- Decorative plaster. Can be applied to walls and ceilings, simulating the sky, natural wood, stone, sand or sea waves. Only one of the walls or part of it can be selected with plaster.
Floor
Depending on the design idea, the floor covering is chosen in sand or blue-turquoise shades - to imitate a sandy coast or the depths of the sea. For a floor in a nautical style, wood trim, floor tiles or special bulk compounds are relevant.
Tiles and porcelain stoneware create coverings with imitation of sand, wooden deck, waves. Products with a 3d effect depict pebbles, shells, the depths of the sea with their inhabitants. Mosaic floor tiles look just as impressive as wall decoration.
The gaining popularity of self-leveling floors with a 3d effect allows you to create an absolutely real illusion of the seabed, waves, surf on a sandy or pebble beach. Additionally, the self-leveling floor can be decorated with real shells, artificial pearls and pebbles - they are laid on the surface before pouring a transparent finishing layer.
Wooden bathroom floors can be fitted with waterproof laminate, decking or deck boards. Decking is designed for outdoor decoration, but the resistance of the material to outdoor conditions allows it to be used in the bathroom: high humidity and temperature drops do not threaten such a coating. An alternative to expensive natural decking is a more affordable vinyl counterpart. In terms of decorative qualities, it is not inferior to natural wood, and in terms of operational qualities, it even surpasses it.
Furniture and plumbing
Furniture in a marine style can be made of any material. Depending on the general style of the interior, the following options are possible:
- modern wardrobes and cabinets;
- open shelving made of plastic and metal;
- fabric or wicker baskets;
- chests;
- pencil cases and chests of drawers, stylized as antique - with carved elements and
- patinated fittings.
As in any interior, furniture should match the color of the walls or plumbing. These can be monochromatic or contrasting combinations.
Traditionally, white and classic shapes are chosen for plumbing. But in the "sea" bathroom, you can give free rein to imagination and install original products, for example, a washbasin in the form of a large seashell or a sink with wavy edges. A nautical-style bathtub can also be of a classic shape, as well as in the form of an aquarium, a shell, and even stylized as a small boat. The main thing when choosing is not to neglect practicality: products of intricate shapes are more difficult to wash, and they get dirty faster than usual.
Transparent glass and plastic bathtubs look very impressive, especially when filled with water and equipped with lighting. Products made of tinted blue or green glass will ideally fit into the "sea" bathroom.
The cool palette of nautical tones in the wall decoration is balanced by the noble and warm colors of copper, brass and bronze taps and faucets.
Accessories and decor
Accessories in a nautical style are so specific that by themselves they set the mood and shape the desired perception of the interior. For example, it is enough to revive a simple bathroom in light colors with a rug and a bath curtain with marine motives - and the room will already be associated with the sea.
From brush cups to towel hooks, the nautical theme can be seen on all accessories and will go everywhere. To avoid unnecessary variegation, accessories should be chosen in approximately the same finish or at least in one color scheme. It is optimal to purchase a set of hooks, glasses and soap dishes, decorated with shells, starfish, stones and corals. Such decor can be made with your own hands on simple products without a specific style. To do this, the surfaces must be degreased and the decorative elements must be fixed with a glue gun or moment glue.
The color of the accessories affects the overall perception of the room. In a nautical style, a win-win combination is turquoise accessories in a white (beige, sand) bathroom or white, surrounded by blue and light blue shades.
Many beautiful stones and seashells collected during a vacation at seaside resorts can be placed in a transparent vase with smooth walls or decorated with pictures and placed in frames. If you want to place small decor on the shelves, remember that it can complicate cleaning. Therefore, it is better to leave one or two remarkable items on open shelves. For a large number of souvenirs and other little things, it is better to allocate a separate shelf behind glass, which will protect the decor from dust, soapy foam and water.
Lighting
In addition to the main function, lighting fixtures can play the role of accent accessories that will complement and complete the interior. Lamps, lamps and sconces in a nautical style are presented in the form of antique lanterns, colored glass bottles, pearls, starfish, jellyfish, fish and shells.
Spot LED spotlights can effectively highlight accent walls, accentuate the texture of embossed tiles, and focus on detail with a 3D effect.
Window decoration
Marine style windows can be decorated with wooden shutters, stained glass painting, colored glass blocks, textile curtains or roller shutters with marine motifs.
The original idea is a round window framed in the form of a porthole, steering wheel or life buoy.
If there is no window in the bathroom, you can create an imitation of it on one of the walls. To do this, it is enough to hang a picture with a seascape, placed in a thick frame (like a window). This technique will visually expand the bathroom space. For a realistic image, it is advisable to purchase a backlit painting.
The function of a false window can be performed by a smart mirror, in which a full-screen splash screen shines instead of a picture.
If necessary, the illumination of a picture or a mirror can be done independently using an LED strip, which is fixed along the perimeter of the product from the back side.
Mirrors
A nautical-style bathroom mirror can be styled similar to window ideas. But a simple wooden or metal frame, optionally decorated with shells or pebbles, is also suitable.
Textile
Window curtains, towels, bath curtains and floor rugs can transform a bathroom in the same way as matching accessories. The everlasting trend for nautical textiles is blue and white striped canvases. This color is optimal in white-blue or white interiors, as well as where there is a lot of wood in the decoration.
In addition to the stripes, any designs with a marine theme will do, but in general they should be in harmony with the background and accessories. If the walls and floor are made in variegated colors, it is better to choose plain textiles. It is advisable that the colors contrast with the walls and repeat the color of the plumbing or furniture.
Design options
The nautical style is self-sufficient and at the same time versatile. It can fully exist on its own, but it also successfully combines with most other stylistic directions. Most naturally, marine motifs fit into the loft, classic (especially in the antique version), Scandinavian and Mediterranean styles.
Depending on preference, the nautical theme in the bathroom can be played up as an imitation of a sandy beach, tropical island, lagoon, ship deck or seabed.
Beach
Color combinations that mimic the seaside can create a beach-like atmosphere in your bathroom. These are combinations of sand, light yellow or terracotta shades on the floor and blue or turquoise on the walls. Indoor palms are suitable as an exotic accent - live (if the bathroom has a window and enough light) or artificial. Palm trees can also be in the form of an image on a tile, a painting, a panel or a bath curtain. In addition to plant motifs, images of lighthouses, seagulls and yachts are associated with the beach theme.
In order not to visually overload the room, it is better to place large drawings only on one wall (especially in a small bathroom).
If the style of the interior is decorated in the spirit of the Mediterranean, then instead of palms for an accent, it is better to choose images with olive trees.
White window curtains or bath curtains can be associated with a cozy seaside café or terrace overlooking the sea.
In classic interiors, the beach theme can be played up with neutral sandy beige accents with shell or pebble tile accents. Such inserts do not stand out from the main colors of the interior, but at the same time they delicately set off it. Accessories in turquoise color create a striking contrast to the sandy finish and freshen up the ambience.
Tropical island
This design option resembles the previous one, but here, along with blue and turquoise shades, there is a lot of green - it symbolizes the rich foliage of tropical trees and vines. Many are the hallmark of this interior. The floor can be made in the color of light yellow sand, and the walls in azure shades, adding panels with coconut palms and exotic birds. The walls are decorated with wood and décor made of large pebbles.
It is better to choose white furniture or natural wood colors. Blotches of bright colors can be used in accessories. For rugs and window blinds or roller shutters, natural bamboo or straw are suitable.
Lagoon
The bathroom, reminiscent of a quiet bay, is dominated by azure and turquoise shades of varying intensities. They are used simultaneously on the floor and on the walls, so the interior has a high color saturation. Mosaic in blue-green and light blue looks good. The play of different shades adds volume to the room and creates a sense of the depth of space.
In interiors of this type, tiles or self-leveling floors with the image of dolphins are appropriate - as frequent visitors to sea bays and bays. Harmonious combinations are created from tiles with a wave effect, which are created by patterns, mosaic patterns or special surface relief.
Furniture and plumbing for an azure-turquoise bathroom are best chosen in light colors. Choosing white is a safe bet. But it will also be successful to repeat one of the light shades present in the colors of the walls.
Ship deck
The ship theme in the interior has already become a classic. The style of the ship's deck or cabin is wood furniture and flooring, handrail partitions, blue and white in wall decoration and colorful accessories. Plumbing is traditionally white.
The flooring can be made of natural wood or imitate it. Old wooden furniture will look organic: chests, shelves and cabinets in a classic style.
Wooden surfaces can be painted white, but more often they are treated with an antiseptic moisture-resistant impregnation, leaving the color of natural wood.
Ship-inspired accessories and décor are striking accent pieces. It is in this interior that porthole windows, a mirrored frame in the form of a wooden steering wheel, maps, lifebuoys, nets, compasses and ropes with anchors on the walls are most appropriate. Loft-style lamps - in the form of candelabra or fishing lanterns - fit well into the ship's interior.
The style of the ship's deck is successfully combined with Mediterranean motives. In this design, the interior is complemented with rich turquoise, blue, sand and terracotta shades. A nautical theme with a predominance of light shades is a great idea for a Scandinavian-style bathroom.
Underwater world
Imitation of the diversity of underwater life in the bathroom is another popular trend. Here, 3d technologies can fully manifest themselves: wall panels with realistic images of animals and fish, corals and algae, fairy-tale characters, submarines and sunken ships will emphasize the individuality of the design.
With the help of self-leveling 3d floors, you can recreate pictures of a real seabed.
Aquarium
A real aquarium in the bathroom attracts all the attention and allows you to do without any additional decor. The size of the structure and the number of inhabitants is determined by the availability of free space and financial capabilities. For a small bathroom, mini-aquariums, built into the wall or combined with a sink, are optimal.
With its exceptional decorative effect, even a small aquarium can be a lot of hassle. Regular water changes, constant monitoring of temperature, air filtration and illumination are time-consuming and require constant financial costs. It is impossible to achieve an attractive appearance and the well-being of its inhabitants without proper attention. And if you can cope with a small aquarium on your own, then it is better to entrust the care of large containers to specialists.
Among the large number of different design styles, many interior designers use non-standard solutions for decorating small rooms in the form of imitation of lush nature or the sea coast. A nautical bathroom is ideal for small spaces where the lack of space is compensated by creating interesting landscapes. You can verify this by looking at the photo below.
The very idea of creating such a design is to obtain the most natural marine atmosphere, for the realization of which the designers use natural colors and thematic interior elements characteristic of the sea coast or seabed landscape. A well-designed nautical-style bathroom is sure to include shades of blue and white, as well as small souvenirs that highlight the theme. Being present in such a thematically decorated room, every person at the sight of the sea, sand or shells subconsciously forms a feeling of summer vacation, the memories of a recent vacation come up and the mood rises by itself.
Mandatory elements of a nautical style
In fact, the nautical design of the bathroom is formed on the basis of the classic interior, but to obtain a characteristic zest, such essential elements are used as:
- shells of various shapes and sizes;
- the presence of the simplest curtains on the windows;
- vinyl stickers with images of marine flora and fauna;
- a bathtub in a marine style provides for the presence of one or more beach accessories in the interior;
- the obligatory presence of living plants in the form of a palm tree or other similar species;
- souvenir figurines;
- elements from natural wood.
Depending on the specific composition and the availability of free space, the marine bathroom can be complemented by natural stone or even a large aquarium with tropical fish and lighting.
Used finishing materials
Materials for the bathroom in a marine style
The most suitable materials for creating the necessary visual atmosphere and from the point of view of practicality are:
- ceramic tile;
- mosaic tiles;
- natural wood;
- natural stone;
- acrylic and water-based paints;
- textured plaster.
Using a nautical style in bathroom interiors, ceramic tiles can be used both to cover the entire room, as well as to individual areas that are most susceptible to moisture. Textured plaster is ideal for creating a relief surface, which helps to fully experience the meaning of the style. When covering floors, the marine design of the bathroom provides for partial use of carpet or laminate, you can also lay a small rug with a high and soft pile.
Ceilings are most often a multi-tiered structure made of waterproof plasterboard, which has built-in lighting elements and smooth transitions between tiers in the form of a sea wave. Many people, when renovating a bathroom in a nautical style, prefer to use stretch ceilings, since these products allow the use of beautiful drawings in the form of a cloudy sky.
Colors used
As for the color scheme, then you can use the services of a professional artist who will decorate the bathroom design in a nautical style using hand-painted painting using special acrylic paints, but this option is quite expensive. In general, the recommended colors and shades are combinations such as:
- bright blue shades;
- turquoise;
- all shades of yellow;
- cream;
- sand gray;
- white with the addition of the above colors.
The recommended color palette at first glance may seem very limited, but this is quite enough to get a full-fledged design of a bathroom in a nautical style. Small amounts of dark brown or even pure green colors are allowed.
Light and lighting devices
Since a sea bath in its theme should convey the summer and festive mood, therefore, the lighting should be bright and have at least several sources. In the classic version, it is recommended to use only open flow lamps with diffused light shades and wall sconces. However, these recommendations can be successfully neglected, and in order to maintain a marine style in the bathroom, many use hidden lighting or built-in lighting elements.
Accessories and furniture
Professional designers manage to transform the classic interior style into a thematic room with just one piece of accessories. The marine theme in the bathroom cannot do without such elements as real seashells, sea pebbles or a figurine from some exotic country famous for its resorts.
You can often find such themed items as a porthole, a wooden steering wheel, a lifebuoy, or even a miniature copy of a ship's anchor. You can use a figurine of a seahorse as a cup for toothbrushes, and use an ordinary shell from a shell as a soap dish, which once again emphasizes the marine style of the bathroom.
There are no special requirements for furniture in this style and its options are limited only by the flight of the designer's imagination. There are often unique wall designs in the form of wooden shelves with representatives of marine fauna and dried corals. It is advisable not to hide such bath items as bathrobes and towels in a separate cabinet, but, on the contrary, display them in a conspicuous place, since a marine-themed bathroom allows this. An aquarium with real tropical fish or a realistic imitation of it will serve as a chic addition to get the fullness of the sensations.
The use of shower stalls is not encouraged; on the contrary, preference is given to large bath bowls with hydromassage elements.
If you are looking for a cozy bathroom, nautical design will be the best solution for creating a good mood for the whole day.
Inhabitants of modern megacities often lack picturesque seascapes. Partially, you can make up for this damage by decorating an apartment in the Mediterranean or oceanic direction. Such a bathroom decor would be a great idea - after all, the bathroom has long become a zone of relaxation and recreation, and not just a place for receiving hygiene procedures.
An original interior solution can be a bathroom design in a nautical style. Photos of similar design options for a bathroom clearly demonstrate the feasibility of implementing this project. Indeed, for quite a long time this direction has been practiced in decorating such premises. Despite the possible variety of the overall picture, you will always accurately determine the style that characterizes such an interior.
Marine motives will bring freshness to the interior
Of course, it's worth starting by defining the overall concept and developing a detailed project. You need to think carefully about how you would like to see the bathroom. Such motifs of the sea theme are especially popular today:
- coastal beach;
- deck of a pirate ship;
- ship cabin;
- underwater world and its inhabitants.
Of course, the list is not exhaustive, these are just frequently used ideas from many possible options.
In general, the trend involves the use of a wide color palette, but only natural and natural shades. Beige, coral, blue and sand tones are especially appropriate for wall decoration. However, you can always focus attention with a bright, attention-grabbing spot.
As for furniture, simple white wooden structures are the best choice here. Although, the range of shades in this case is also not limited by anything.
Bathroom tiling with a marine theme
However, in order to decide finally, you need to study in more detail all the characteristics of this style. In general, one of the win-win solutions for bathroom design is marine theme. The photos presented in the gallery of our site will help you finally make sure of this.
Materials corresponding to the chosen direction
It must be said right away that the marine interior provides for the use of mainly natural materials. When decorating a room in this way, it is better to abandon plastic and cheap synthetics. As a last resort, choose such materials with a reliable imitation of natural luxury elements. Of course, the tiles familiar to many can also help create an original and unique image.
In such rooms, natural wood and natural stone look very appropriate. The fragmentary use of stone chips on the walls and flooring will make the design of the room even more expressive.
Of course, it is permissible for owners with a limited budget to use cheap analogs of the listed materials. It can be textured plaster painted with waterproof enamel or high-quality plastic panels in a natural natural color or with a three-dimensional effect.Buying coastal stones in bulk and partially decorating the walls or floor with them can be a fairly inexpensive option.
An example of floor design for a bathroom design in a marine style
To find out exactly how you can design a bathroom, you should consider examples of the design of the walls, floor and ceiling of such rooms.
Floor decoration
When designing a bathroom in a nautical style, be sure to pay due attention to the flooring of the room. In this case, the choice of material depends only on the personal preferences of the owners. The classic version of ceramic cladding can be interestingly beaten by complementing the surface with floor inserts made of pebbles or other sea pebbles. An interesting enough result can be achieved by laying out the pattern in mosaics or by making self-leveling floors with a 3-D effect.
A light-colored plank floor in combination with several accessories will bring a nautical theme to the room.
The illusion of being on the deck of the ship will be created by laying a moisture-resistant laminate or floorboard. In this case, it is better to focus on milky or ocher tones of the coating. For example, an imitation of an old oak floor will perfectly complement the overall picture of a bathroom. In this case, you can veneer individual sections of the plane near the bathtub and sink with porcelain stoneware in a polar shade. However, in this case, the contrast should not be too sharp, the best option would be a difference from the base gamut by several tones.
Imitation of sea waves on the floor
Adherents of relaxing on the beach can be recommended a combination of textured and smooth coverage in different functional areas. For example, areas near a bathtub or cubicle can be made of natural stones, and the rest of the floor can be laid out with laminated panels or boards in light gray or sandy color. Such a conditional division will make the general style of the room even more interesting and visually zone the space.
Wall decoration
The interior of the bathroom in a marine style provides for the presence of two basic shades at once - azure and sand. Of course, milky color will be the same safe option. The most successful solution when decorating such a room would be either painting three walls with matte paint, for example, blue, or facing them with plain tiles. The remaining pier can be highlighted by decorating a panel or pattern on it. For this, a mosaic made of ceramics or glass or panels with a three-dimensional image effect will perfectly serve. This is where you can allow yourself to take full advantage of your creativity.
Do not oversaturate the interior - an interesting accent on the pastel background of the walls will be enough
If we talk about textured decoration, embossed walls with tinted stone chips applied to them look pretty good. Experienced designers advise using imitations of various materials in a similar style, but in doing so, you should not get too carried away. For a small bathroom, one wall with a pronounced texture and a plank floor will be enough.
To create the illusion of being on a pirate schooner, you can sheathe the lower third of the walls with wooden or plastic clapboard imitating aged wood.
Of course, fragmentary wall decor with shells or pebbles will be very appropriate in such an interior. They can be used to decorate ledges and corners, as well as decorate the area around a washbasin or bath.
Ceiling design
A smooth plain ceiling of a light shade always looks like a win-win. If financial possibilities allow you to create a decor more interesting, it is advisable to complete the design on two levels with spot lighting. For example, make the central part light or make art painting on it in the form of clouds, and decorate the second level with a wavy bend and paint in a dark tone.
Ceiling design option that matches the nautical style
Stretch structures with the effect of a scattering of stars will also look interesting. Of course, wooden beams will also become a win-win decor element. Remember, however, that this part of the room should not get too much attention. Thinking over the design of the ceiling, be guided by a sense of proportion.
Plumbing and furniture
It must be said that there are two main ways to design any room. In the first case, you can focus on the decoration of the room by completing the original wall decor, and in the other, you can install unusual models of plumbing and furniture sets on a faded monochrome background. A nautical-style bathroom, photo examples of which can be seen below, will also not be an exception to this rule.
Standard plumbing can be unusually beaten
If you decide to focus specifically on individual objects, it will be advisable to purchase a wooden bathtub in the form of a boat. In this case, you can complement it with decor at your discretion. For example, it can be partially built into a podium lined with navy blue mosaics or equipped with an original curtain resembling sails. Remember that in this case, only plain pastel wall decor is allowed.
You can beat a regular bath made of acrylic or metal in a similar way. It will be enough to build a screen or a podium for her and sheathe it with plastic panels with imitation of wood.
If it is decided to make the main emphasis, nevertheless, the walls, it is advisable to install discreet light plumbing, and make the screen for it in pastel soft colors.
An interesting bath solution
The bathroom furnishings that remind you of the sea deserve special attention. The discreet wooden furniture of a milky tone will be an excellent addition to the interior. Surfaces with craquelures look especially impressive. In some cases, striped facades of white and blue colors will be appropriate.
Do not oversaturate the interior with furniture. In this case, it is better to limit yourself to the minimum required set. Ideally, this is a pencil case, a cabinet under the sink and several open shelves.
The final touch - adding accessories
It is the little things characteristic of stylistics that can set the mood for the whole room. The choice of these elements should be taken very seriously. This rule is especially important for owners of tiny bathrooms. After all, you need to maintain the necessary balance so as not to oversaturate the interior and at the same time emphasize its flavor.
Such an interior promotes relaxation and rest
For spacious bathrooms, equipping an aquarium in a wall will be a good solution. Moreover, you can even limit yourself to a high-quality imitation. Such an accessory will become a very bright spot in the interior, attracting attention and contributing to relaxation and rest. Decorations of shells, starfish and coral are also allowed. However, in this case, you need to purchase only exclusive and truly original things.
Delicate accessories with a nautical theme complement the interior
Owners of small bathrooms can be advised to limit themselves to more utilitarian items. Here it is enough to choose a set of shower curtains, towels and a rug typical for the style range. It is permissible to arrange mirror framing and furniture facades with small shells. The shower curtain holder can be made from a strong rope of a suitable diameter.
Discreet and elegant interior with nautical motives
It is always appropriate to lay out the countertop near the sink with small peels and cover it with a layer of liquid plastic. It is also interesting to play around with lamps, for example, purchase models with metal elements, reminiscent of fishing lanterns. In short, a bathroom in a nautical style, photo which decor samples you will see below - a unique opportunity to transform a room and add notes of the elements of nature to it. It all depends only on your creative possibilities.
Thus, having learned about all the features inherent in such an interior style, you can safely start experiments in your own apartment. Despite the seeming complexity, it will be a feasible and very interesting task to design a room in a marine spirit.

A lot of light, bright colors, dispensers for liquid soap and a glass for a toothbrush, designed in the same style and color scheme, will favorably emphasize your style and impeccable taste.
Finishes and materials for the marine bathroom
To turn a nautical-style bathroom into a corner of the seaside, it is necessary not only to choose the right color scheme for the room, but also the finishing materials. Suitable for walls azure, blue or aqua tiles... The styling can be monochromatic or interspersed with a sandy shade.
If you like a classic interior, you should stop at a nautical-style bathroom, decorated in white and blue, and the ratio of colors directly depends on the size of the room (the smaller the room, the more light colors). A combination of tiles and mosaics of various shades within the same color scheme looks beautiful, for example, a trio of light blue, turquoise and rich indigo. Located chaotically, such overflows will remind of sea waves, and laid in even stripes will be associated with a fisherman's vest.
One of the empty walls can be decorate with painting in a nautical style, fresco or buy a mosaic panel in a nautical style. Another interesting option is a false window in the form of a porthole depicting the life of the underwater world.
For the ceiling, painting in white or pale blue is suitable. Stretch structures with images of heavenly distances also look good. The floor can be fitted with cork panels, painted wood planks, laminate flooring, mosaics, or tiles that mimic sand, pebbles, or the deck of a ship.
Bathroom furniture and plumbing

Especially creative natures can establish wooden bathtub in the form of a boat.
It is best to buy furniture for a bathroom in a marine style from natural wood of light grades, painted in tones washed out, as if burnt out in the sun: white-blue, mint, sand, cream. It would be nice to pick up one or two items that emphasize the theme of the style - a "pirate" chest with an iron edging, a wicker laundry basket, a bamboo towel rack or a rattan bookcase. The chest can store laundry that is intended for washing or freshly washed hand towels and bath towels for guests.

- We wash natural materials with soap and dry.
- We cover the canvas of the painting or the surface of the mirror with masking tape, so as not to damage it by accidental ingress of glue.
- Sand the frame wood, apply a primer, dry.
- We glue large fragments (starfish, shells of rapan, pebbles), evenly placing them over the entire surface of the frame.
- We attach small parts with tweezers.
- Fill the remaining voids with sand or other small decor using the spraying technique. We leave it overnight so that the glue dries thoroughly, after which we turn the frame over, shaking off the rest of the materials.
- After drying, we apply acrylic varnish to give the product a shine and additionally fix the applied decor.

Bathroom project in a marine style by Alexey Ershov
The main advantage of the presented design project is the compact arrangement of furniture items and the most rational use of such a scarce space in a small room. Thanks to the well-planned and thoughtful interior, decorated in a "nautical" style, the miniature bathroom is somewhat reminiscent of a ship's latrine.
The decoration of the premises was originally made. The smooth curves of the transparent blue plastic visually imitate the rolling of the ocean waves, and the sail-shaped mirror on the light wall and the rounded shell made of white frosted glass under it, in general, reproduce the outlines of a snow-white yacht plowing the azure endless waters.
Or maybe this is a light board under the sail of a skilled surfer, catching his "own" wave and the necessary wind direction, deftly glides in the open sea?
You can fantasize endlessly. But, undoubtedly, in such a unique bathroom you will definitely feel like a fearless conqueror of the sea.
Design project of a "sea" bathroom by Anastasia Malakhova
The designer of this project invites the owners of this bathroom with a marine-themed interior to invite playful dolphins - man's best friends among the inhabitants of the water element - and miniature sea turtles to their company.
The decoration of the walls of the room in a delicate blue color imitates the transparent sea waters, and the pictures of funny inhabitants of the underwater kingdom, applied to ceramic tiles using the method of photo printing, eloquently emphasize the design theme.
Taking a bath in such a surrounding interior, you can imagine yourself as a fabulous Little Mermaid or a brave Ichthyander, traveling in the underwater world with loyal friends, dolphins and funny turtles.
The original idea of the project developer will certainly appeal to many lovers of sea adventures, especially the smallest ones.
Bathroom project "Expanses of the Sea" by Daria Korol
The author of the Open Sea project gives the owners of this colorful bathroom a rare opportunity to get complete relaxation from contemplating the view of the tropical sea coast without leaving their apartment.
The decoration of the space is dominated by the clear blue of the ocean waters and the warm sandy hue of the coastal landscape.
A decorative landscape panel that adorns one of the walls is the most striking element of the interior, thanks to a rich palette of colors and competent overhead lighting.
Round mirrors in original frames resemble the portholes of a sea vessel.
An interesting design solution is a transparent glass panel in a mosaic blue floor that covers a softly illuminated narrow niche with small sea pebbles and graceful shells.
A bouquet of fresh flowers with wide dark green leaves brings a touch of freshness to the interior and is associated with the rich flora of the underwater world.

In the presented bathroom project, the author placed the main emphasis on contrasting: glossy white and deep blue.
The soft glow of the ceiling lights is reflected in the wall panels and flooring, as if a ray of sun shyly pierces the ocean water column.
Bathroom furniture is kept in a minimalistic style. The "marine" theme is emphasized by the wavy lines of the cabinets. Special attention should be paid to the beautiful blue tint that is present in the interior of the room, symbolizing the color of the clear deep waters of the seas and oceans.
The rectangular bathtub is tiled with pale blue and navy blue mosaic tiles that match the overall style and color scheme of the interior.
Project of a "sea" bathroom by Elizaveta Krasnoperova
The decoration of this bathroom contains materials of different textures, kept in the same color scheme.
The original idea of the designer to display in his project the ghostly line of the horizon, where the endless sky merges with the sea mirror surface, was embodied in the delicate, pale blue shades of matte wall panels and mosaic tiles, imitating the vault of heaven with blurred outlines of light clouds.
The colors of the sea are reproduced in a glossy mosaic of rich blues and navy blues.
The interior is decorated with decorative narrow curved partitions, which creates the illusion that the waves of the blue sea, floating out from under the blue sky, are slowly moving towards the shore in smooth ripples.

Looking at the interior of the presented bathroom project, you immediately imagine the unthinkable, fabulous beauty of the underwater world.
The ceiling is highlighted in the decoration of lamps of a unique design, which recreate the graceful outlines of sea jellyfish.
A smooth wall, finished with glossy blue panels, imitates the deep-sea element, in which weightless transparent jellyfish gracefully float, attracting the rest of the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom with their light.
The flooring is originally made, where intricate patterns are intertwined, reminiscent of various forms of shells of sea mollusks.
Even the pouf, present in the interior of the bathroom, repeats the intricate shape of the sink.

The relaxing atmosphere of the room, decorated in various shades of the colors of the water element, is characterized by tranquility and serenity.
In the presented project, the designer reflected the "marine" motif in the rich blue color of the walls and floor of the bathroom with a pronounced texture of the finishing material.
The decoration of the walls is harmoniously complemented by narrow longitudinal inserts of ceramic tiles, in their color design reminiscent of the foamy, swirling ocean waters - a good design solution, especially in combination with a hot tub, in which water beats and rages.
Design project of a bathroom in sea style from Natalia Babenko
A very bright bathroom, the interior of which is decorated with elements that imitate the seabed or the ocean shore, and complemented by images of the inhabitants of the water element.
At the base of the rectangular wall niche, there are skillfully laid out sea stones and large pebbles.
The author of the project thought out the lighting of the room in a wonderful way - an original floristic composition made of artificial materials, standing next to the table, casts a blurry shadow on the light wall of the niche, which creates the image of outlandish miracle fish swimming near the seabed.
The wall near the bath itself is lined with wide pale blue panels depicting large water turtles.
Mosaic ceramic tiles in various shades of blue, used in the design of the bathroom, imitate the natural color of sea water.
Bathroom design project from Olga Tsap
The bright colors of sea inhabitants against a blue background, which symbolizes the familiar water element for its inhabitants, is clearly inspired by the unforgettable beauty of the rich underwater world of the Red Sea. Ceramic tiles are decorated with images of colorful fish of the most bizarre shapes, algae leaves and coral branches.
The narrow transverse protrusions on the wall adjacent to the bathtub are trimmed with blue tiles, which give them a resemblance to the waves of the sea. Or is this an imitation of the magnificent barrier reefs created by the huge swarms of blue coral? Your imagination will tell you the correct answer.
In any case, the joyful atmosphere of the interior of this bathroom will give you a positive mood and a charge of vivacity for the whole day.
Bathroom project by Tatiana Parshina
The sophisticated design of the small bathroom is kept in light colors, which visually significantly expands the space.
The minimum amount of compact furniture, well-executed design, in which there are no bright and bulky elements, turn a small room into a cozy corner.
In the decoration of the walls, the designer uses narrow inserts of border ceramic tiles with a pattern of sea plants.
The smoothly flowing pattern gives the impression of algae threads gracefully swaying in the water.
Particularly impressive is the panel of textured tiles in a delicate blue hue, through which the wall near the corner bath is framed.
A complete illusion is created that a snow-white miniature yacht is serenely drifting in the blue ocean water, surrounded by floating seaweed.
Design project of a bathroom in a marine style by Evgeny Zhdanov
In the presented project, an impressive effect is produced by the original design of the bathroom floor, which is an ocean wave rolling on the coastal sand.
The sensations of the proximity of sea water are so strong that when stepping on the floor, there is a real feeling of a warm wave caressing the feet.
And for a woman, a special atmosphere reigns in the interior of this bathroom. After all, every time, stepping over the side of the bath and walking on the magnificent flooring, she will feel like a Greek Aphrodite, born from Mediterranean sea foam, in order to conquer the world with her perfect beauty.
A decorative wall panel in bright sunny colors showcases a delightful landscape of the tropics, where palm trees rustle inaudibly with their wide leaves and cozy bungalows, standing on the beach, beckon the weary traveler under their thatched roofs.
