- The color scheme for your island bathroom comes from the tropics, with an emphasis on things outside. Choose colors found on exotic islands like palm green, sunny yellow and sea blue. Use them to highlight the style of décor you're going for. If you're looking to decorate with palm trees, use bright green, brown and cream to make the room feel balanced. If you choose the bright colors of tropical flowers, integrate enough red and yellow to make your bathroom look welcoming. Towels, candles and soap and dispensers are ways to bring color into your bathroom without making it feel too busy.
- Use as many natural and casual pieces as you can. An informal style includes pieces of wicker, rattan, rosewood and teak. For a bright aspect, look for a white wicker hamper or shelving unit. Distressed, or weathered, furnishings also enhance the relaxed island look. Because this style of décor is less formal, you can mix and match different furnishings with ease.
- To enhance any island or tropical room, you need plenty of light. This can be natural or artificial, as long as it reflects the mood you're wanting to convey with this décor. Use bamboo blinds on your windows for an inexpensive accessory as well as a way to let light flood your bathroom. If you don't have much natural light, make sure you have plenty of warm light from recessed lighting or sconces. If there is room, hang a paper lantern in a color that matches your décor.
- Accessories make a world of difference in bathrooms. Wallpaper on one wall with a tropical pattern will give your bathroom a lift. Go with textured wallpaper, such as grass cloth, to add a nice touch to your room. Complement the look with a woven shower curtain. Other island accessories are bamboo, which you can display with boxes and baskets. Plants are the easiest way to add island flair to your bathroom. Sand and seashells are also items that will instantly add to the mood of your room.
