Going Wild with Coastal Wallpaper in the Bathroom

Flamingo Bathroom
I stumbled across this Bathroom when I was browsing DIY-Guides, and I think pink has never looked better. The wading flamingo wallpaper by Cole and Son is so much fun, so is the freestanding tub!


Seashell Wallpaper
A year ago I published a post titled Falling for Nautical Wallpaper and the trend seems to continue. And I can't think of a better space to go wild with wallpaper and/or a theme than a small bathroom! Especially if you have a second bathroom or a powder room.

Map Wallpaper
Many people stick maps to the walls.

Postcard Wallpaper
Some use postcards, or Decoupage a Wall.

Beach Mural
Others create a view with a Beach Mural. Let your imagination run wild! For more inspiration, see Falling for Nautical Wallpaper.

Oh my - can you imagine having that last bathroom in your very own home?! I would LOVE that. And I love the map on the wall in one of the middle images. So freaking cool - I'd love to do that in my own house one day. Great post!

I fell in love with the Flamingo wallpaper first, then I saw the seashell paper and now I can't decide which I love better! They are both amazing and I would love to have either one. BUT, that pink footed tub is adorable. I can just imagine it filled with bubbles.

I love all of these murals. I wish they were more in my price range and that my landlord would allow it. I think I would get TRunk Bay in the USVI done in my bedroom. :)

The Flamingo wallpaper is so fun. I think Maps on walls are great and surprisingly handy with growing kids I'd imagine, for homework.

I had wallpaper in houses for many years. I think I'm done with it. This house has "virgin" walls and I'm sticking with paint. It is so much easier to change my mind!

I would have to go with the flamingos and the hot pink bathtub! You couldn't feel sad standing in that bathroom!

Fun !
Sure makes a feature out of the smallest room in the house. Those pink birds almost have me wanting to move to Florida to have an excuse to enjoy them on the walls.
