Beach and Coastal Bathrooms | Your Guide to Achieving the Look
Bright, beautiful and breezy, beach and coastal bathrooms should reflect their natural surroundings with an irrepressible casual atmosphere. A beach style bathroom should also be modern, flow with positive energy and be instantly inviting. The key to capturing the essence of the coastal bathroom is to focus on its undisputed aesthetic strengths.
More understated than the similar yet arguably more refined Hamptons style bathroom, coastal style bathrooms encourage more play with their welcoming designs, which are also wonderful mood-boosters. We delve into how you can achieve the look of a beach and coastal bathroom.
Capturing the true essence of a modern coastal bathroom doesn’t have to be a drag. Often the overall objective is to create a space of pure escapism. With an inspired influx of modern coastal bathroom ideas, you can create a space that truly achieves that look.
Neutral tones are best to bring in that cool, breezy expression. Avoid too many colours as this could negatively impact the refreshed, clean look desired. Go for clean surfaces and consider upgrading your bathroom vanity, basin and freestanding bath with a smooth modern look that speaks beach house bathroom.
However, there are some other beachy bathroom ideas that can contribute. To help reflect the coastal ambience, take advantage of any natural light sources and incorporate some biophilic design. Why not get creative with nautical ornamental features to truly bring home the idea of a coastal style bathroom.
BRING ON THE LIGHT IN A BEACH BATHROOM
Keeping things light and breezy is such an integral element of modern coastal bathrooms that it’s worth reiterating it. The ability to introduce natural light is a no-brainer but you can also accentuate that space with some brushed brass tapware.
Mirrors are a perfect way to play with the illusion of expanded space and practically double the light you have. With a bit of visual trickery, mirrors can work as windows as well. If they are positioned opposite other windows, they can superbly reflect a room with a beach view, providing the illusion of all-encompassing shores.
Coastal bathroom vanities should be a pleasingly functional focal point with a design that adds aesthetic value. By keeping the colours neutral, they will contribute to the light and airy atmosphere. If you want to bring colour into the room, keep it natural with plants or other organic accessories.
We have a range of wall-mounted or freestanding bathroom vanities that start from one-drawer up to six-drawer designs. They have been designed to enrich your space and blend seamlessly with your bathroom.
COASTAL BATHROOM TILES
Tiles are a great way to contribute to the scheme of your modern coastal bathroom. You can play with the artistic arrangement to help define a point of interest and create some superb depth of character. You can also use it to extend a vanity backsplash or to populate an entire wall while keeping to the beachy bathroom theme.
Go with minimalist mosaics like the white mini kit kat or the carrara marble kit kat to subtly strengthen the space. Find out how you can add style to your bathroom space with mosaics.
