Hello, bathroom dreamers!
🌊✨Are you thinking about giving your bathroom a fresh makeover that captures the stunning vibes of the Sunshine Coast? Whether you're just renovating or designing from scratch, creating a coastal-inspired bathroom can bring that relaxed, beachy atmosphere right into your home. Picture soft colours, natural textures, and serene vibes – it’s the perfect retreat after a long day at the beach or work. Here’s how to nail the ultimate coastal bathroom look:
1. Embrace Soft, Neutral Tones
To create that calming, coastal feel, start with a neutral colour palette. Think soft whites, sandy beige, light greys, and ocean blues. These light hues reflect the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast, bringing a sense of openness and tranquility to your space.For the walls and tiles, opt for crisp white or subtle off-white. You can also add pops of pastel shades or soft greys for a more sophisticated touch. These hues will make your bathroom feel light and airy – just like the cool sea breeze.
2. Natural Materials Are Key
Coastal bathrooms are all about celebrating nature, so using natural materials is a must! For your flooring and cabinetry, consider light timber, stone, or marble to bring in those earthy elements.Timber is particularly great for adding warmth and texture, and it pairs perfectly with sleek, modern finishes. Imagine light wooden shelves, a timber vanity, or even wooden-framed mirrors to tie everything together.Stone or marble tiles in the shower or on the floor will give your bathroom that luxurious, yet organic feel, while also being practical for high-traffic wet areas.
3. Incorporate Ocean-Inspired Accents
No coastal bathroom would be complete without a few ocean-inspired touches! Think about incorporating décor pieces that bring the beach to you – without going overboard (pun intended 😄).
For example:
It’s the little touches like these that create the perfect coastal mood, giving your bathroom the feeling of an endless summer by the sea.
4. Maximise Natural Light
A bright and airy bathroom is an absolute must when trying to create a coastal oasis. Natural light is your best friend, so try to maximize it! If possible, install larger windows or even a skylight to let in as much sunlight as possible.
If you don’t have large windows, you can still enhance the space with light-coloured fixtures and mirrors to reflect the light you have. Plus, adding soft lighting with dimmer switches can help set the mood for a relaxing bath after a day at the beach.
5. Bring the Outdoors In With Plants
Another way to nail that coastal feel is by adding plants to your bathroom. Plants add a touch of greenery and freshness, making your space feel even more connected to nature. Look for low-maintenance plants like succulents, ferns, or bamboo that thrive in a bathroom environment.
Try hanging some plants from the ceiling in stylish planters, or place small potted plants on the windowsill or countertop for a natural pop.
6. Upgrade With Stylish, Coastal Fixtures
Your fixtures should complement the overall vibe. Go for brushed gold, chrome, or brushed nickel finishes for your taps, showerheads, and handles. These finishes will add a bit of elegance while still keeping things relaxed and coastal.
Don’t forget about your lighting fixtures – choose light fixtures with a natural or rustic design, like woven rattan or driftwood-style lamps, to complete the beach-inspired look.
