Sandpiper bathroom decor can be fun to assemble. This small, short-legged shore bird, skittering across the sand, is found in many places. To many, it is symbolic of a day at the shore. The shore might be country or city, sandy or rocky. Sandpipers are found most places where sea and beach meet.
Sandpiper bathroom decor will be most readily achieved by starting with one focal object and building your theme around it. A picture, for example.
Sandpiper Picture
Find a painting, print, or photo of sandpipers. If you are working with a small budget, an inexpensive 10″ x 12″ print is fine. We found a delightful print with 6 small brown and white sandpipers skittering along a sandy beach. Here and there, the sand held small spots of blue-gray water. Behind the birds, ocean waves broke in varying shades of blue with white tips. It would make an excellent starting place for Sandpiper bathroom decor. It would introduce both your theme and your colors.
Sandpiper pictures and photos sometimes include a lighthouse or other maritime item. Find one that appeals to you and, if possible, includes the colors you want to use in your bathroom decor. Choose a serene picture rather than a stormy one to give a peaceful look to your bathroom decor. If you can get two or three coordinated prints, your Sandpiper bathroom decor will be off to a good start. Frame your print or prints in a narrow, silvered white frame to maintain the beach atmosphere.
Wall Paint
Use the lightest, sandy tan from your picture for the upper walls. Paint them with washable latex, or use water-resistant, light tan grasscloth. Paint the ceiling white to go with the Sandpiper’s markings and the froth of the breaking waves.
Wall Tile
Continue your Sandpiper bathroom decor in 8″ x 13″ glazed ceramic wall tiles for the lower 36″ to 42″ of the walls. Choose one of the shades of blue from the ocean in your Sandpiper picture.
Line the top of the wall tiles with curved listello tiles in a blue and white design. Think of this as a transition between the ocean and beach.
Floor Tile
Continue your Sandpiper bathroom decor across the floor with blue-gray tiles to coordinate with the colors in the picture. Use 12″ by 12″ glazed ceramic tiles on the floor. Install the tiles diagonally to give a spacious look – as though looking out across the ocean. For the most spacious look, use light blue-gray instead of darker shades.
Vanity and Fixtures
White vanity and fixtures will make your bathroom a tranquil place that is as light and bright as a beautiful day at the shore.
