One of my favourite themes to decorate a room in is the nautical inspired white and blue, so when we recently decided to paint our little hallway bathroom, we took the chance to decorate it in this particular style.
It was the small round window in this room that inspired us, as it very much resembles a window on a boat.
The walls in this bathroom are painted in a light grey colour, whilst the inside of the deep window is painted in an ocean blue hue to give the impression of water outside.
I painted this 3-piece nautical painting with a compass and the writing 'Wherever you go... take me with you' quite a few years ago with the intention of decorating this bathroom with it. We never got much further than that though, so I'm glad we've finally completed this room exactly the way we like it. The colours I've used are acrylics, and I've simply attached the cream coloured stones with super glue.
You won't achieve that perfect nautical style without some blue glass art! Corked bottles are classic pieces that look beautiful and authentic. These beauties are from the home range at Next.
This little blue bowl is from the Swedish glass art brand Kosta Boda, and holds lots of little beach stones and sea shells from our different holidays around the world - a great way of keeping those precious memories alive.
A little blue glass wrapped in rough boat inspired rope decorates the toilet, and is of the same style as the beautiful blue glass ball hanging in the round window. I'm thinking of placing a little tealight in it for when we have guests around for dinner to create a cosy atmosphere. Both pieces are from The Range.
All the wooden details in the bathroom, such as this towel ring, were painted in a matt white colour...
...including the toilet roll holder and the little rounded corner shelves on which the blue glass art stands. We also changed the toilet seat to a white wooden one with grooves from JL Bathrooms to match the nautical theme.
It's hard to capture the actual look of the bathroom in a photo when it's so small, but I hope you get the idea.
I am very happy with the result, and can't wait to hear what my guests have to say about it!
