Interior Impressions

Navy blue has been a popular color choice for homes and interiors for years. It’s a nature-inspired hue that is known for being powerful and sophisticated while also evoking feelings of tranquility and calm. In fact, according to a larger study called The World’s Favorite Color Project , conducted by the University of Sussex and British papermaker G. F. Smith, navy blue may just be the most relaxing color in the world . This makes it a natural choice for bedrooms where the goal is to create a relaxing environment we can start and end our days in. 

While navy blue can be associated with, well, the Navy and its iconic navy blue uniforms, there are lots of ways to incorporate this calming blue hue into your bedroom without embracing a maritime theme. Here are 25 navy blue bedroom ideas that go beyond nautical.

Layer Shades of Navy

For a soothing and harmonious look, consider layering different shades of navy in your space. In this primary bedroom, navy blue is used on the walls, bedspread, and furniture to create depth while bright pops of contrasting orange and gold catch the eye and add some variety to the tonal space.

Choose a Velvet Blue Bedframe

Paint Your Ceilings and Walls to Match

Paint Half Walls

Not ready to go all-in on navy wall paint? Try painting a half wall instead. Half walls with a lighter color on top are great for creating the illusion of higher ceilings and a larger room.

Create a Headboard Accent Wall

Another great option for incorporating navy paint into a room without covering the whole space is to create a headboard accent wall. Adding a more pronounced ledge at the top of the boards can double as a picture ledge for artwork or family photos.

Match Your Light Fixtures to Your Walls

Paint Your Door and Trim to Match

If you’re looking to create a space that feels moody and intimate without drawing attention to the doors and trim in the room, consider painting your walls, trim, and doors the same color. This helps to bring focus to the furniture and accessories in the room while softening angles throughout the space.

Choose Blue Velvet Bedding

Once reserved only for royalty, adding a velvet bedspread to your bedroom instantly elevates the design of your space, particularly in rich jewel tones like navy blue. Not only is velvet luxurious, but it's super soft and comfortable too.

Go With an Accent Wall

Choose White With Navy Accents

Choose a High Pattern Wallpaper

Wallpaper has made the comeback of the century and is a fun way to bring some color and pattern into a room.

13 Ideas for Decorating with Navy Blue

By: Author Carol

Categories Decor

Navy blue is the color that’s surprised me most in its sheer versatility. Decorating with navy blue can help create a maximalist aesthetic or keep things simple. It can be timeless or trendy, and command all the attention or let other colors pop.

I believe there’s a way to use this all-round winner in decor projects to suit every personality and home.

Navy blue complements diverse home decor styles. Popular ways to use this versatile hue are to use statement furniture, paint the walls navy, accent wall or use wallpapers. Use throw pillows, rugs, wall art or pair it with gold in glam interior design. Navy blue is also a defining feature of the nautical style.

It’s hard to go wrong with navy. But if you won’t settle for anything less than sublime, you’ll want to know expert tips and tricks.

Various decor styling techniques and pairings can have drastically different results, so it’s best to plan to get the look you want.

How to Decorate with Navy Blue – 13 Simple Ways

Navy blue isn’t just a color. It’s an expression of depth. It’s a statement of sophistication. Here are some of the ways you can use navy blue to decorate your home for a striking effect.

#1. Statement Furniture: A Focal Point of Luxury

Have you ever walked into a room and a single piece of furniture takes your breath away? That’s the power of statement pieces. Imagine a plush navy blue sofa in your living room, acting as the room’s anchor and drawing everyone’s gaze.

It’s not just seating; it’s a centerpiece that says, “Here is where we gather, in comfort and style.” Let’s not forget the armchair that could become your own little reading nook. It embodies coziness and sartorial savvy.

#2. Paint the Walls Navy to Amp Up the Drama

Ignore warnings never to paint a whole room a dark color because it will appear uninviting and cramped. This is a myth.

You can splash navy from wall to wall for a bold look you won’t shy away from. Actually, don’t stop at the walls. Paint your door and trim, too. This softens the angles and creates a cozy cocoon.

All-over color tricks the eye into perceiving a room as more spacious, and an inky color creates depth.

While walls drenched in black may appear harsh, there’s a good reason dark blue is soothing, not gloomy: it reminds us of vast expanses of sea and sky.

Boost the tranquil nature vibes with plenty of greenery. Hanging baskets of sprawling golden pothos are especially good at brightening dark walls.

#3. Accent Walls: The Depth of The Ocean On Your Walls

Can a single wall define a room? Absolutely, especially when it’s bathed in the sophisticated beauty of navy blue. Painting an accent wall in this color adds a touch of drama and sets the stage for the rest of the decor.

#4. Wallpaper Wonders

Who said wallpapers were a relic of the past? They obviously hadn’t laid their eyes on the modern charm of navy patterned wallpaper.

You can go geometric for an edgy feel. Or, choose floral for a touch of an English garden. The patterns add depth and character to any space.

#5. Textiles and Upholstery

Sometimes, less is more. For those of us who aren’t ready to commit to larger navy pieces, textiles offer a hint of color. They aren’t overwhelming. Picture this: a crisp white sofa brought to life with navy throw pillows. Breezy curtains catch the wind by a sunlit window. An ottoman, clothed in velvety navy, offers an invitation to relax.

#6. Rugs and Carpets: Ground Your Space in Style

A navy blue rug – it’s like the cool, shady spot beneath a tree on a sunny day. It’s comforting, grounding, and enriches everything that stands on or around it. A navy rug can define the seating area, make your dining table stand out, or welcome you into a hallway. It’s versatile and oh-so-cozy underfoot.

#7. Artwork and Wall Decor: A Canvas for Creativity

Don’t want to commit to navy walls? No problem! Consider navy hues in your artwork or wall hangings. Abstract paintings, geometric prints and nautical-themed pieces add bold yet serene presence.

#8. Bring Nautical Style into Your Home

A popular way to decorate with navy blue is inspired by sea voyages. The deep-ocean hue mixes with other maritime elements.

These include foamy white and flashes of coral. There are also stripes, ropes, vintage brass, and weathered wood textures. This combination mimics life at sea. You can fully commit to the theme or nod to the sky, sea, and ships in your decor choices.

I’ve seen rooms with every item selected to bring a sailing adventure to mind. Ship lanterns, antique brass bells, and porthole-like mirrors fill the space. There are also maps, authentic ship wheels, and seashells.

There are also subtler ways to create a maritime feeling. A navy and white color pairing is already signature of nautical style. Add a white shiplap-clad ceiling with distressed wood beams.

Also, add a jute rug, brass ship-style sconces, and seashell or driftwood sculptures. Include lighthouse, anchor, or starfish motifs to perfect a modern take on the style. A dark-blue-and-white-striped rug should even do the trick!

#9. Kitchen and Bath Cabinetry that Makes a Splash

Navy blue cabinetry in a kitchen or bathroom screams modern chic. Think about it – white may be clean and airy, but navy?

Navy is the color of night skies and ocean depths; it’s thought-provoking and vast. With navy cabinets, every time you reach for a mug or towel, you’re grasping elegance.

#10. Bedding and Bedroom Decor: Slumber in Serenity

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, a place where the worries of the day melt away.

Navy blue bedding and decor can transform your bedroom into a peaceful retreat. It can make it conducive to rest and reflection. Whether you’re just adding a little navy here and there with textiles, or going all in with furniture or paint, trust me, it’s a choice you won’t regret.

Remember, home is where your story begins. Make navy blue a part of your narrative.  

#11. Navy Blue and Metallic Accents

Mixing navy blue with metallics can give your room that hotel luxe feel. Who wouldn’t want that? Gold has a warm shimmer. Silver has cool sophistication.

Metallics and navy create an undeniably ritzy partnership. Cushions with gold threading can add that touch of luxury your space craves. A navy vanity with gleaming brass handles or a bathroom cabinet with a gold faucet can do the same.

#12. Pairing with Complementary Colors

Here’s where things get really fun! Navy blue is like that friend who gets along with everyone. Think about a navy blue sofa against a mustard yellow wall. Or how about some bright pink throw pillows on a navy armchair for that pop of unexpected excitement?

And let’s not forget the regal pair that is navy and emerald green – it’s like royalty in color form!

#13. Navy Blue in Outdoor Spaces

Who said navy blue was confined to the indoors? Picture your outdoor space sporting navy blue cushions on a wicker chair. Picture a bold navy umbrella shading your patio table.

It’s about creating a flow from inside to outside that feels seamless and intentional. Plus, navy blue holds its own against the elements, not fading as fast as lighter colors might.

Final Thoughts

Navy blue is a home decor chameleon, changing its effects from understated to daring to enhance different styles and tastes. Add it to your next mood board’s color palette, and behold its power to adapt to your needs as you create and curate spaces that reflect your personality and feel like home.

I love love love soft blankets. Throws are a great accent piece to inexpensively change up the color schemes of a room. They really dress up a sofa or in this case and a pretty wicker basket. Accessories like this can bring a cozy home vibe without losing the sophistication of the space.

Having blankets on hand is great for cold winter nights or Netflix and chill nights. Cozy up and enjoy.

• Metal Moroccan Decorative Candle Lantern
• Retro Iron Decorative Candle Holder 

This could be a fun navy blue home decor Nautical DIY project! All you need is navy blue paint or spray paint, a globe, candlesticks, and 2 starfish.

5. Cabinets or Accent Walls

I love the way the Navy was used in this kitchen. It is bold, yet serene and the accent colors and textures complement it beautifully. You can also incorporate this navy blue home decor ideas trend by painting an accent wall in your bedroom, living room, bonus room, office, or bathroom.

Another trend on the rise is painting the ceiling the accent color to really draw your focal point upward to make it appear taller.

Adding color helps to create the illusion of more depth to stark white or grey walls. Using this blue shade will make the space appear longer or larger than it is. Another popular trend I have also seen is using temporary blue wallpaper to keep up with this trend and to change things up for home decor lovers when future trends arise. Play with shades of the navy in the form of beautiful patterns and textures.

6. Fabric Panel Art

If you are a renter and don’t have the liberty to paint your walls, then I recommend adding the Navy blue color via artwork. You can purchase art easily to fit your color scheme and you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do it. But you can also find a fabric you really like in that color, texture, or pattern that fits your space nicely and make your own DIY artwork to adorn your beautiful home.

10. Decorative Trays

I love accents like beverage trays. They have so many purposes and also serve as a beautiful way to display vignettes and other small decors in your home.

11. Beverage Coasters

You may think I am nutty for including things like beverage coasters but they are really inexpensive and have a purpose on surfaces you don’t want to ruin with beverage condensation rings.

12. Table Lamps

Add a stunning accent to the bedroom, entryway, or living room with table lamps or even hanging lamps like sconces if this is more of your jam.

Navy and white bathroom shower.

This shower with floor to ceiling glass is just beautiful. Navy blue and white bathroom tiles create a nautical and ocean feel. The tiles on the floor of the shower are an extra touch that make this shower extra luxurious.

Bathroom With Rope Mirror And Rope Cabinet Pulls

A nautical bathroom doesn’t have to be all navy blue and white! Accents with rope are another way to create a nautical style in your space. I love the use of the round mirror with rope paired with the rope handle pulls on the vanity.

Navy Blue Bathroom With Whale Mirror

I found this adorable bathroom look from @popofprettyblog on instagram! She’s got such a smooth and fun design vibe. A navy blue subway tile lines the entire shower and bathroom walls.

And look at that cute little whale mirror!! It really brings an ocean feel to this bathroom.

TIP : If you want to change up your bathroom theme without doing a major renovation – paint the walls, switch out the light fixtures, and install a new mirror!

Clean White With Subtle Navy Accents

The simplicity of this clean bathroom is beautiful. With white walls, a white vanity and countertops, a few pops of navy blue accents create a tranquil space.

White Bathroom With Blue Whale Art

Whale decor definitely plays into the nautical look. I love the little whales over the toilet and you can see part of a teal wood whale in the mirror.

Simple Boys Ocean Bathroom

I love this simple boys bathroom makeover by Confessionals Of A Serial DIYer. With a few simple changes, this bathroom transformed into a little boys nautical bathroom dream!

A white like-new vanity, cool ocean blue wall color, and a nautical navy blue and white striped shower curtain are the perfect pair.

Elegant Navy Blue And White Master Bathroom

An elegant master bathroom with a nautical theme. The walls have a beautiful ash navy blue wallpaper all the way around. The rope circular mirror creates a natural centerpiece and the white vanity is beautiful and elegant.

When it comes to nautical bathroom decor, I love the use of a rope mirror. The circular shape of this mirror also makes it feel kind of like a port hole on a ship – another great way to get a unique nautical bathroom look.

Stunning Navy Bathroom With White Shiplap

Stunning design in this bathroom. The top half of the wall is painted a deep navy blue and the bottom is a clean white shiplap wall.

Another circular mirror but this time in a while shell like material. It’s a nice coastal touch and looks great against the navy blue wall.

This open vanity with storage is a great option for organizing a small bathroom . The baskets under the vanity can be used to keep loose items and it’s also aesthetically pleasing!

Whimsical Ocean Bathroom

A different kind of nautical – this whimsical bathroom isn’t using navy blue and white accents like traditional nautical style. But boy is this bathroom awesome!!

Blue fish wallpaper is a standout and the wood trunk looking vanity is a centerpiece of the bathroom. A black circular mirror make you feel like you’re on a ship!

Navy And White Bathroom

Using a few different shades of navy blue will definitely bring out a nautical feel. This navy and white bathroom uses a soft medium blue wallpaper on one of the walls and a darker navy for the vanity top. The floor tiles are also navy and white. All of the blue shades compliment each other and the rope mirror is classic for nautical style.

Rustic Meets Nautical Bathroom

How gorgeous is this rustic wood bathroom vanity?? I love an option like this instead of a plain white vanity. The rustic feel of the vanity really pairs well with the round mirror hanging from a rope.

When it comes to the nautical design style, there are a few elements that come to mind first. Imagine anchors, lighthouses, rope, the ocean, and boats. We also tend to think of certain colors like navy blue, white, red, and yellow.

While there are many bathrooms featuring these elements, there are a variety of ways that you can decorate with a nautical-inspired design theme. Even when you’re using the elements described above, you still have the option of decorating with a rustic theme, modern, or traditional style. 

We’ve compiled a list of 25 nautical bathroom décor ideas that we think will inspire your bathroom design. We recommend picking a décor piece, such as wall art, and then going with the color scheme in that piece of art as you decorate your bathroom. 

Enjoy browsing the various nautical-themed bathrooms in this list. Let’s pull up our anchor and set sail!

1. Navy and White Stripes

Nothing says nautical quite as well as navy blue and white stripes like the ones we see in this Michael Pagnotta Architect bathroom design.

The style of the sink is unique and we are loving the painted navy blue and white appearance. The stainless steel frames of the mirrors are reminiscent of ship architecture and design. 

The wide stripes are color-coordinated with the rest of the bathroom decor, including a navy blue bath mat with a compass, navy blue, and a white boat print shower curtain, a sailboat figurine, and white step stools with the words wash, floss, and flush printed on it.

2. Anchor Printed Wallpaper

The simple design of the wallpaper in this bathroom is perfect for this bathroom. It features navy blue anchors on a white background that is clean and stylish. The overall look of this nautical bathroom is light and airy.

This Pottery Barn bathroom also features woven hyacinth baskets for storage. The addition of the small driftwood stand with various beach-themed décor items adds character to the room. Stainless steel seems to be a fitting hardware color choice in a bathroom with a nautical theme because it resembles what one would see inside of a ship.

3. Ocean Map Shower Curtain

This ocean map shower curtain in navy blue and white is a great addition to a bathroom that is otherwise fairly neutral in color. The busy print of this Kohl’s shower curtain makes it unnecessary to add much more decor to the room. However, the matching bath mat with the compass is a nice touch to tie it all together. 

The shiplap wall is also perfect for a nautical style bathroom. We are loving the light and airy appearance of this style. It has a vintage look with a basin sink and clawfoot bathtub.

4. Lighthouse Wall Decor

Lighthouses are another great decorative accent for a nautical-themed bathroom. This set of three lighthouse wall canvases feature muted colors with navy blue and ivory-colored lighthouses on a blue-green distressed background resembling wood planks.

Each canvas measured 12-inches by 16-inches and comes ready to hang with a sturdy hook. You could choose to hang these together as a set or separate them and hang them on separate walls. Another option is to simply prop these up against the wall on a shelf or countertop.

These lighthouse wall canvases are available at the Adecuado Store on Amazon.

5. Multi-Hued Blue Roman Shades

How gorgeous are these multi-hued blue Roman shades? The translucent appearance allows light to filter into the bathroom even when they are closed. The deep blue hues add plenty of color to the room in this Chelsea Lauren Interiors bathroom design.

The clawfoot tub looks like a comfortable place to sit and soak. The high back makes it much more comfortable than the traditional bathtub. We’re also loving the painted bottom of the tub with the white top.

This bathroom is bright and cheerful with its large window allowing in plenty of natural light. We are loving this design!

6. Boat on Water Wall Mural

This idea is perfect for a child’s bathroom design. The painted boat on the water wall mural is fun and whimsical, not to mention colorful! 

The swirled design of the navy blue and light blue color of the water resembles waves and you can practically imagine the red and blue sailboat swaying on the water. The yellow sun and seagulls complete the look. You can also see that the area around the shower is a light green color. 

Like we said, this bathroom is very colorful and perfect for a child. This bathroom was featured by Model Remodel .

7. Rope Towel Bar

You can add a rope towel bar to complete the look in your nautical bathroom. The rope gives the bathroom extra character and texture. It looks especially gorgeous with a navy blue hand towel draped on it.

This rope towel bar is available from the YJ YANJUN store on Amazon and includes the mounting hardware required to mount it to the wall. It’s made out of stainless steel and natural rustic rope. 

This same Amazon store offers a toilet paper holder that is made out of rope too. You could install both to have a matching set of accessories.

8. Porthole Mirror

Bring the appearance of sailor life into your bathroom with a porthole mirror like this one from Nagina International . This porthole measures 12-inches in diameter and is made out of aluminum.

You can also find porthole-style mirrors that are made out of other materials or finishes such as antique brass, antique copper, brass plated, distressed metal, or a painted finish. You can find whatever matches your personal bathroom decor the best.

A porthole mirror is a unique piece that adds character to the room. It’s perfect for a nautical-themed bathroom and is sure to receive plenty of compliments.

9. Boat Rug

This boat rug would be a perfect addition to the child’s bathroom that we saw earlier on in the list!

This particular rug from IKEA is ideal for a spacious bathroom because of its size. This rug measures 4’4” X 5’3”, so it is larger than a typical bath mat.

We are loving this design because it is colorful and a fun print. When paired with additional colorful boat decor, it would create a really cute child’s nautical-themed bathroom.

If your child’s bathroom is attached to his or her room, you can also get coordinating bedding that matches this rug.

10. Rope-Framed Mirror

A rope-framed mirror is a great addition to a nautical-themed bathroom. In this bathroom featured by Digs Design Co. , a rectangle-shaped rope-framed mirror is hung above the sink and vanity area. 

This bathroom is colorful, cheerful, and cute! We are loving the bright blue sconce lights on each side of the mirror. They are unique and fun. 

The use of blue is always acceptable in a nautical-themed bathroom. The penny tile is beautiful with its various shades of blue. The use of white features throughout the rest of the bathroom makes the blue color stand out even more.

11. Dock Cleats Nautical Towel Rack

This dock cleats nautical towel rack is absolutely gorgeous! Its unique design makes it stand out even more. This five-shelf nautical towel rack is available from Beach Dweller Boutique on Etsy and is available in numerous finishes. This shelf was designed and built with both function and style in mind. 

Another cool fact is that the Beach Dweller Boutique promises to use only upcycled materials both for building their products and for shipping. With this nautical towel rack, you can rest assured that you are not damaging the environment with your purchase! The business promotes upcycling and recycling.

12. Wooden Buoys

Using painted wooden buoys as decor will give your nautical bathroom a vintage vibe. Not to mention, they add plenty of maritime-inspired colors. This Duneland Fine Homes bathroom features different wooden buoys of different colors throughout the bathroom. 

The round rope-framed mirror along with the painted wood-paneled walls creates the perfect nautical environment. It reminds us of something you might see inside of a seafood restaurant, so obviously, it’s designed with the ocean lifestyle in mind!

We are also loving the unique vanity that appears more like a table than a cabinet. It’s simple yet beautifully designed.

13. Boat Oar Decor

Another one of our favorite ideas for a nautical bathroom is to display wooden boat oars as decor. These painted pieces add color to the room and give it a vintage feel.

You can display wooden boat oars in a variety of ways. One method is to mount them directly to the wall in a horizontal direction as Beachwood Place does in this bathroom design. We’ve also seen them mounted in more of a vertical direction. 

Another idea is to simply prop up a couple of boat oars in the corner. There are many options to choose from!

14. Stormy Gray Color Scheme

As we know, weather on the coast or on the ocean isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. There are often rough storms brewing. This Alisberg Parker bathroom design displays that dark and stormy aspect of nautical life by using a stormy gray color scheme.

The gray tiles used around the shower and as a backsplash above the vanity are the perfect color of storm clouds. The sailboat printed wallpaper with ocean waves resembles a ship on a stormy sea. 

The porthole mirror and sconces beside it all give off major ship vibes and are the perfect addition to this nautical bathroom.

15. Captain’s Quarters

Enjoy the elegance of the captain’s quarters with this beautiful bathroom design. In Detail Interiors uses dark stained wood with brass accessories and hardware to achieve this look. The fish-shaped vessel sink is unique and adds muted color to the room. 

The antique brass porthole mirror and the ship steering wheel faucet handles are unique additions that give this bathroom even more character. It’s those little accents that make any room design great. 

We also love how the faucet is directly mounted to the wall versus onto a countertop. It’s a welcome change in style from traditional methods.

16. Three Whales Twine Hanging Sign

This rustic style three whales twine hanging sign is simply cute. Its classic and nautical style is perfect for the bathroom, especially when paired with other nautical decor items.

The sign measures 11-inches wide by 6-inches high and is made out of solid rustic pine. It has a vintage look that adds character to the room. We are loving the deep blue background behind the white whales.

You could hang this twine hanging sign above the toilet or near the door. It looks great hanging alone or you could choose to hang other nautical items near it. You can get this at Rustic Marlin .

17. Painted Mason Jars

Painted mason jars provide a colorful and rustic appearance. These painted mason jars with a  nautical theme are super cute! 

There is a toothbrush holder painted white with a blue anchor and a dispenser for soap or lotion with red and white stripes. Each has a twine ribbon around the top and the paint is slightly distressed to add character.

You can find these painted mason jars at the Wine Country Accents Etsy shop where they are available in a variety of styles and colors. You’re sure to find something that will match your bathroom!

18. Anchor Bath Mat

This bathroom features a double sink, each with a plush nautical navy blue bath mat with a white anchor in front of it. No more worrying about standing on a cold floor while you brush your teeth.

Navy blue subway tiles line the lower half of the wall behind the sink area. The sinks themselves are unique and their stainless silver accents make them perfect for a nautical-themed bathroom. The neatly folded coordinating towels placed on the shelves beneath the sinks are a nice touch. 

This particular bathroom is featured and styled by Pottery Barn . It’s one of our favorites!

19. Floral Anchors

To add a feminine touch to a nautical style bathroom, you can display one of these floral anchor decor pieces on a shelf or on the countertop.

It has a wood plank design with a whitewashed front featuring a navy blue anchor with an attached rope and blue and white flowers and greenery around it. It’s quite beautiful! You can find this anchor with flowers artwork at Hobby Lobby .

This would be especially beautiful with a vase of fresh flowers next to it to give it an even more feminine look. We like the combination between feminine and rustic nautical styles.

20. Navy Blue

We have seen the navy blue color used in almost every single nautical bathroom that we have shared. It’s a popular color to use in a nautical-inspired bathroom design.

In this Kyle J. Caldwell bathroom, beautiful and glossy navy blue tile lines most of the walls and the shower. The wall behind the vanity area is white, which makes the glossy navy blue vanity cabinets stand out even more.

The gold or brass hardware and accents throughout the room look absolutely stunning against the navy blue color. If possible, just try to make sure that the gold or brass elements used are all matching.

21. Sailboat Wallpaper

The brass porthole mirror used in this bathroom looks especially stunning against the deep blue wallpaper with the white sailboat print. This combination of the sailboat print wallpaper and the brass porthole mirror is perfectly nautical.

The vintage sink used in this HGTV bathroom design also adds to the nautical effect. The black hardware and bottom of the sink create a nice contrast between the blue wallpaper and the white flooring. 

The fresh flowers placed by the sink give this bathroom a feminine touch to this otherwise masculine bathroom style. It looks like a bright and cheerful place!

22. Lighthouse Wall Decal

This bathroom design is so simple, yet so striking! The black lighthouse wall decal looks amazing on the bright aqua blue wall. The large white soaking tub also stands out against the blue.

This lighthouse wall decal is easy to apply and easy to remove without leaving a residue. You can get a variety of wall decals in a variety of colors from the AK Wall Art store on Amazon.

Imagine the color combinations that you could create. A white lighthouse decal would look beautiful too, especially against a navy blue wall.

23. Octopus Art

Speaking of white against navy blue, this octopus art is the perfect example! This large three-piece canvas set features a white octopus that spans across all three canvases. 

Above the large soaking tub is the perfect placement for this set. It’s the only blue in the room, with the exception of a blue bath towel, which makes it stand out even more. 

We like how ARD Design Inc. used all-white throughout the bathroom except for this octopus wall art and for the brown bench with a potted plant next to it. It’s clean and bright!

24. Rustic Nautical

This rustic nautical bathroom is certainly unique! You don’t come across many bathrooms with a boat attached to the ceiling like this one featured by ZaZood . It is appropriately named the “Treasure Island Residence” project. 

There are many elements that give this bathroom its rustic nautical style. From the boat on the ceiling to the lifesaving float, boat oars, rope-framed mirror, navy-blue painted wooden paneling, to the painted and distressed wooden vanity. It’s an eclectic mix of items that adds plenty of character.

Just because it’s rustic doesn’t mean it’s not luxurious though! This room has both a spacious shower and a bathtub to soak in.

25. Shiplap Walls

There is something about shiplap walls that gives a room a lot of character. It goes well with a variety of design styles, including nautical design. 

In this bathroom featured by Decor Pad , the designer has installed the white shiplap in a vertical fashion. The bright blue countertop creates a nice contrast with the white wall. 

We are also loving the blue and white striped flooring in this bathroom. It helps tie in the blue countertop with all of the white features throughout the room. Let’s not forget the stainless steel round mirror that is hanging on the wall that resembles a porthole!
