Incorporating Travel into Your Bathroom Décor

Bowl of Trinkets

With limited luggage space, it isn’t always easy to bring back everything you see while overseas. Fortunately, small souvenirs can have just as much of an impact. If you’d like to trigger travel memories or inspiration for future trips, place a small bowl of trinkets or small mementos from your travel on the countertop of your bathroom vanity. If they’re shells, fill the bowl with sand. If they’re tiny packets of matches, place the bowl next to a beautiful candle. This idea can work for virtually every bathroom, even those where space may be an issue.

Vintage Suitcase Décor

Suitcases are a traveler’s must-have staple, so what better way to include travel in your bathroom décor than with a repurposed vintage suitcase? Search for a hard case suitcase at your local thrift store, put on your thinking cap, and get a little creative with the possibilities. Although this will only work in a large bathroom, you can repurpose a small suitcase as a place to keep your extra hand towels and spare soap sets. If your bathroom is on the smaller side, consider cutting the suitcase in half, decorating it as you wish, and hanging it on the wall.

Postcard Wall Art

While postcards may seem like a thing of the past, they’re perfect for travel-themed décor. Because they cost virtually nothing to buy, they’re quite easy to get a hold of. Start your collection with a postcard from nearby, and gradually build up your collection as you travel around the world. If you don’t have the patience to wait for your collection to grow naturally, visit thrift stores or browse eBay for postcards you can purchase. Once you have a decent collection, create a decorative piece of wall art and place your favorite postcard in the middle.

Travel Photography Books

Instead of leaving a messy pile of magazines in the bathroom, why not place a couple beautiful travel photography books on a table near the toilet? If you traveled to Germany and fell in love with Dresden, find a book that’s focused on the architecture of Dresden. If you love tropical destinations, find a book of tropical underwater photography. Regardless of the type of book you choose, remember to save the expensive books for a coffee table, as items in the bathroom can be damaged by water, hairspray, makeup, and humidity.

Map Shower Curtain

If you love to daydream in the shower, a map shower curtain is the perfect way to incorporate travel into your bathroom décor. Although shower curtains are more functional than decorative, they’re a great way to add a bit of personality to your bathroom without taking up any additional space. When it comes to map shower curtains, there are many variations available on the market. Spend some time browsing online and find the map shower curtain that’s right for you.

Plane, Trains, and Automobiles

Similar to the postcard wall art, this decoration idea will take some time, as you’ll have to collect the tickets from planes, trains, buses, and other modes of transportation while you’re on vacation. Once you have a decently sized collection, choose your favorites, buy a frame, and create your own piece of art. If all of your tickets are from the same state, country, or area of the world, incorporate a map of that area into the piece of art. It’ll be a nice reminder of the places you’ve been, and will act as an inspiration for your next vacation.
