Less is More
If you want to give your bathroom a maritime touch, be careful not to overdo it. The Baltic Sea motif can quickly become overwhelming and kitschy. It’s best to use small but effective accents.
The Right Textiles for a Maritime Bathroom
A bathroom can quickly achieve a maritime look if you know how. Sometimes just a few small blue-and-white striped color accents are enough. Red can also complement this style well, such as in the form of towels, washcloths, or a striped bath mat. But it’s not just stripes that bring a vacation flair to the bathroom; shells can also appear on towels and other items.
Wood Reminds Us of the Sandy Beach
Using light wooden furniture in the bathroom perfectly emphasizes the maritime look. A light cabinet under the sink or a small shelf can help incorporate the colors of sand and dunes into the bathroom.
Sea Creatures in All Shapes and Colors
One way to create a maritime bathroom is with animal motifs. Perhaps a small crab in one corner and a fish in another? The possibilities are endless. Whether as a figurine or a useful accessory like a dish in a sea creature design—whatever pleases is allowed.

Don’t Forget the Anchor
What would a maritime bathroom be without an anchor? Whether as a pattern on a shower curtain or as a decorative element on a shelf, anchors are the ultimate symbol of the sea and seafaring. They represent safety in the vastness of the ocean and arriving—coming to rest. The anchor is the perfect symbol for a maritime bathroom.
