What materials should you choose for a truly nautical-style bathroom? We recommend focusing on wood and glass, creating a well-balanced mix.
Wood is an essential material for furnishing a beach-style home, and this also applies (and especially) to the bathroom, perfect for creating a natural, "fisherman's cabin" effect.

A nautical-style bathroom should never be without wicker baskets and containers or old wooden crates: they'll give the room a light touch without weighing down the decor, yet still be original!
If you love atmospheres dominated by aged wood, you can always add a touch of coastal style, the most romantic and shabby chic version of nautical decor: choose pickled wood for cabinets or accessories, a simple yet brilliant idea to recreate the salty effect in your nautical-style bathroom.

And glass? Well, it's an essential material for a nautical-style bathroom: bottles and jars are excellent decorative elements (both natural and painted blue), but you can also use them to create cute accessories for your seaside bathroom, like original decorative jars filled with shells.
Finally, how do you choose tiles for a nautical-style bathroom? White or blue are perfect (as we'll see in a few lines), but if you want to add a more Mediterranean touch, you can choose tiles with majolica decorations!

Of course, you can have fun breaking up the palette with other colors. Green, for example, or even beige (an excellent contrast and a perfect sand color). Even the brown of natural wood fits perfectly in a bathroom decorated in a nautical style, as long as it's used carefully and without overdoing it.
