How to Decorate a Bathroom in a Hawaiian Theme | A Hawaiian theme is a fun way to decorate a bathroom. It will work with almost any tile color that you are starting with, from pastels, to bright colors, to natural tones. It looks especially great with the colors in mid-20th century houses, which often have weird tones we are not quite sure how to work with.
Hawaiian is a fun decorating theme for teens and can be adapted to work for any age from kids to grandparents. There is a wide range of choices in bathroom decor in a Hawaiian theme, which can range from subtle for a more sophisticated look, to over the top for a very camp and trendy decor.
Here are some bathroom decorating ideas for a rather camp approach to a Hawaiian theme. Below you will find some more subtle approaches for a more subtle and sophisticated style. Feel free to vary the level of "Hawaiian-ness" according to your tastes and needs.
Paint your walls an aquamarine shade of blue. This can range from pale to very bright. Do not go too blue or too dark. Think of swimming pool water sparkling in the sunlight. That is the color you want for your walls.
Cover the window with a grass skirt. If you have a tall window, it might take two or three tiers of skirts. A pretty touch is to glue one or more Hawaiian leis across the waistline of the top skirt.
Select a shower curtain in a Hawaiian print. Alternatively, you could choose a solid color shower curtain and glue Hawaiian flowers onto it with a hot glue gun.
Check thrift stores, antique shops and eBay for campy old Hawaiian souvenirs to decorate the walls and to use to hold items in the bathroom. If you find some old Hawaiian postcards, you can frame these for the wall, or decoupage them on the wall around the mirror or doorway.
Buy bathmats and towels in a color that picks up one of the shades in your shower curtain.
