Bird Bathroom Decor

Birdcages enhance bird decor.


If you love birds, bring them into your bathroom via your decor. You can turn your bathroom into a bird haven, whether your favorites are tropical parrots, ducks, parakeets or woodland birds. The key to pulling off this look is choosing a type of bird you want to showcase and working with colors related to that bird and its environment. Once you get this figured out, the rest is easy.


Birdhouses and Cages


Birdhouses and birdcages provide two of the quickest ways to add flair to your bathroom. You can find something to go along with the bird decor of your choosing, whether it's a light and airy bamboo birdcage or a more rustic birdhouse. Hang a birdcage in a corner or put a birdhouse on the wall, and if you have the space, place a birdhouse on your counter for a bright touch. Another option is a birdhouse on a stand placed out of the way but in view.


Wall Art


Wall art is one of the easiest ways to give a room a theme. In the bathroom, you may have little wall space, but this needn't prevent this approach. If you're going for a tropical look in your bathroom, hang pictures of parrots in exotic locales. If your style is more rustic, pictures of geese or ducks are more appropriate. For spring themes, go with pictures of robins and blue jays.


Bird Nests


For a natural look, you can't go wrong with bird nests. They look good nestled in corners or in a small glass bowl or jar. Another alternative for this look is placing the nest next to candles that coordinate with your decor on a bamboo tray. Place a few plastic eggs in the nest for a pleasing look.


Accessories


Accessories make a bathroom feel complete. Look for ceramic soap dishes and canisters adorned with birds. Soap dishes shaped like a bird's nest are charming and functional. Look for toothbrush holders, tissue dispensers, wastebaskets and storage boxes painted with birds, feathers or eggs. Look for accessories in colors that match your shower curtain and rugs to tie the room together.
