Design Elements of a Modern Coastal Bathroom

One of the most popular bathroom styles today is termed modern coastal. There’s something about the fresh, relaxed look of a modern coastal bathroom that is simply hard to beat. What design elements should you include in your bathroom remodeling plans to achieve this chic vibe? Read on to learn more.

Color Schemes

Coastal colors typically include shades of aquamarine and sea green, accompanied by generous amounts of marble white. Make sure to incorporate these colors when choosing tiles for your walls and floors. However, you don’t have to be limited to this palette. Coastal themes also work well with natural textures like woodgrain and neutral hues including beige.

Counters & Vanities

The right countertop material can be a great focal point for a modern coastal bathroom remodeling job. The most common way to do this would be with wood counters and stone benchtops. Finish the look with a white sink and polished copper fixtures. Once you know the basic elements that make for a coastal bathroom, it’s easy to mix and match different materials and finishes to achieve the look.

Walls

Explore different ways of incorporating shiplap boards on your bathroom walls. One way to do it is to go full shiplap from the floor to the ceiling. However, a half shiplap look combined with white walls can also be effective. Accent walls washed in sky blue tones are a great way to round out the style.

Floors

You get a little more freedom when designing the floor of a coastal bathroom. Go for elaborate tilework in light colors to make the space look even bigger. You can also go for crisp white tiles for a clean feel. If you’re a little more adventurous, try pebbled floors to mimic walking on the beach every time you step into your bathroom.

Lighting

Talk to your bathroom remodeler about how to incorporate as much natural lighting into your bathroom as possible. Large circular windows are always a great option for coastal bathrooms, although bigger window sizes may be a privacy concern. Consider adding a skylight to help brighten up the room even more.
