Shower Curtains

There are many different shower curtain styles and looks.  Many nautical themes are focused around navy blues and maroons.  If you would like a more cheerful color, try to find nautical decor that has lighter blues and bold reds.  If you cannot find the perfect shower curtain already made, make one yourself from sailboat patterned fabric from the craft store.

Wall Decor

There are many options for sailboat theme wall decor.   For a more sophisticated look, you can apply a pre-pasted wall border around the top edge of the room.  If fun and whimsy and more your style, try adding a wall art piece, like the Come Sail Away Metal Sailboat Wall Hanging.yhst-23119701400359_2112_52740138 This handcrafted metal sculpture features bright blue, red, brown and cream in its main color palette, which makes it ideal for a cheerful bathroom decor.  It is also large enough at 26-inches high by 33-inches wide, that it will be a dominant focal point in the room.

Other accessories, such as toothbrush holders, soap dishes and even shower curtain hooks, can all be found with sailboat theme inspiration.  Choose patterns and styles that coordinate with one another for a cohesive look.  When the bathroom decorating is done it will be a nautical dream come true.
