When renovating the bathroom, it’s only natural to want to build your design around a specific theme. If you have a starting point to hang the rest of your bathroom remodel on, it makes the process much easier.
These days it’s popular to bring the outdoors into the bathroom with a nature-inspired theme. There are many options for dressing up your space with natural elements.
At Optum Home Solutions, we’re glad to work with you in designing a bathroom remodel to best fit any theme. To get you started with the process, here are four simple tips to creating a nature-inspired bathroom.
Focus on the Bathing Areas
Most people’s eyes are drawn to the bathing areas whenever they walk into a bathroom. It’s the part of the room that has the biggest impact. So, be sure to focus heavily on your bath enclosure and shower when designing a nature-inspired bathroom.
Dress Up the Wall Surround
An easy way to play into that nature theme is through the wall surround in your bath enclosure. Modern acrylic wall surrounds are available with lots of design options that allow homeowners to get creative with their choices too. Consider trying out a surround in one of our stone patterns, like:
- Canyon Slate
- Coastal Stone
- Juparana Granite
- Madeira Granite
- River Rock
- Valencia Granite
You can also get tile textures embedded in the acrylic to create the appearance of classic marble or slate tile.
Paint the Walls in a Natural Shade
Another straightforward way to build on your theme is by painting the bathroom walls in a color drawn from nature. There are plenty of options from deep, woody browns to bright leafy greens. If you are looking for a more desert or ocean inspired feeling then tans and blues would be a better fit. Of course, make sure the colors you pick for the walls complement the wall surround patterns to tie everything together.
Add a Few Accessories
The final additions added to a room always provide that extra something to round out the bathroom décor. Consider installing a couple of floating shelves on the walls. You can place decorative items on them to further add to the nature theme, like seashells, interesting rocks, or small potted plants.
While you are at it, you’ll also want to consider practical accessories, like:
- Soap Dishes
- Storage Caddies
- Shower Shelves
- Grab Bars
- Bench Seating in the Shower
