The bathroom where we spend our time taking a bath, taking nature calls, and grooming ourselves is not something that we should ever take for granted. In fact, it is essential that we are able to decorate and design it in such a way that it will become a relaxing retreat anytime we need it.</span></p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">One of the best ways to decorate your bathroom is to use a tropical theme for it. With vibrant tropical home decor like a tropical fish wall art or tropical wall hangings, you can instantly turn your old boring bathroom into one that exudes life and zest.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">And it does not matter whether you have a big budget or not. Achieving a nice and exquisite tropical bathroom is possible with a dash of creativity, practicality and resourcefulness.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Tip 1: Paint the Walls with a Tropical Color</strong></p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">A major element for a tropical design is the wall paint. To make your bathroom have a tropical feel, you can choose to paint it with earth tones or with shades of pinks, blues or oranges. If you want something neutral, you can also use light brown, sand or sea green colors.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/3c.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/3c.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Beautify the wall even further by adding fantastic wall hangings like a tropical fish wall art for instance. You can also hang frames of beautiful coastal scenery photographs that will make you feel like you are at the beach yourself.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Tip 2: Throw in Some Tropical Accessories</strong></p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">After you have painted the wall to give it a tropical finish, add some tropical items such as shower curtain and towels in floral patterns or animal prints. You can also put different colors of seashells in a clear glass bowl or buy soap dishes or toothbrush holders that have tropical designs to spruce up your bathroom even more. Moreover, a healthy green plant can also be a wonderful addition to your tropical bathroom.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Tip 3: Have Warm Tropical Lighting</strong></p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Achieve the tropical look by having warm lighting on your bathroom. Accent lamps shaped like palm trees are some of the best choices for lights for this room. Remember that the bathroom light should not be too bright. It should just be enough to illuminate the whole space.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/3a.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/3a.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Tip 4: Dress your Windows the Tropical Style</strong></p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">To make the bathroom even more visually interesting, dress up the windows by using tropical themed prints on curtains or plain wooden blinds. If you already have a shower curtain that has pattern prints, it is a good idea to go for the plain wooden blinds so as not to overdo it.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Tip 5: Design your Floor</strong></p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">You do not need to install new tiles on the bathroom floor, just adding a bath mat with a tropical design or a bamboo mat is enough to the job.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Once you have achieved transforming your bathroom into a tropical retreat, it will feel like swimming in the sea every time you take a bath.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>About the Author</strong></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Article by Jessica Ackerman from WallDecorandHomeAccents – the place to go for <a href="http://www.walldecorandhomeaccents.com/canvas-wall-art.html" target="_blank">large canvas wall art</a> and <a href="http://www.walldecorandhomeaccents.com/" target="_blank">decorative wall art</a></p>  <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt">Article Source: <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/home-improvement-articles/tropical-bathroom-wonderful-decorating-tips-900052.html" target="_blank">http://www.articlesbase.com/home-improvement-articles/tropical-bathroom-wonderful-decorating-tips-900052.html</a> </span></p></span>
