How to Create a Modern Coastal Design for Your Bathroom?

If you're dreaming of turning your bathroom into a tranquil, coastal-inspired retreat, a modern coastal design is the perfect solution. Combining oceanic hues, natural textures, and contemporary design elements, this style evokes the serenity of the sea while maintaining a sleek, timeless appeal. In the "Blue Sky Mornings" interior look, the use of different porcelain tiles from the Symphony and Driftboard Shore series creates a harmonious blend of modern and coastal design elements. Let’s explore how you can achieve this look in your own bathroom using the following tiles: the Symphony Series - Ocean Mist 600x1200mm Porcelain Tile, Driftboard Shore Series - Seashell White 75x600mm Porcelain Tile, and Driftboard Shore Series - Sea Mist 75x600mm Porcelain Tile.

1. Start with a Calming Coastal Palette

The first step to creating a modern coastal bathroom is choosing a calming colour palette that reflects the sea and sky. For a fresh and airy feel, the Symphony Series - Ocean Mist Porcelain Tile is the perfect choice for your bathroom walls. This large-format tile features a soft blue-green hue that brings to mind the misty sea, creating a tranquil backdrop for your bathroom. Its subtle tone and matte finish give the room a serene, spa-like atmosphere while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.

2. Create Visual Interest with Striped Shower Walls

To add a modern twist to the coastal theme, introduce vertical stripes into the shower area. The combination of the Driftboard Shore Series - Seashell White and Driftboard Shore Series - Sea Mist tiles creates a dynamic, eye-catching pattern on the shower wall. These wood-look porcelain tiles offer a fresh, natural texture that mimics the look of driftwood, enhancing the coastal vibe without compromising on modern style. By alternating between the soft, neutral white of Seashell and the pale grey-green of Sea Mist, the striped pattern adds visual depth and intrigue to your bathroom.

3. Use Natural Textures for the Flooring

For the bathroom floor, continuity is key to achieving a polished, modern design. The Driftboard Shore Series - Seashell White tile, also used on the floor, maintains the seamless transition from the walls to the floor, making the space feel larger and more cohesive. This tile’s subtle wood grain texture brings warmth to the cool tones of the Ocean Mist walls, adding an organic, grounding element to the room. Porcelain tiles like these are not only visually appealing but also durable and water-resistant, making them perfect for high-moisture areas like bathrooms.

4. Maximise Natural Light and Space

One of the hallmarks of coastal design is the emphasis on light and openness. If possible, maximise the amount of natural light in your bathroom through large windows or skylights. The light reflecting off the Ocean Mist tiles enhances the airy, calming effect of the space. To further brighten the room, use light, minimalistic fixtures and mirrors to create the illusion of a larger, more open area. This helps to bring out the coastal colours and textures while ensuring the space feels modern and uncluttered.

5. Add Subtle Coastal Touches

To complement the modern coastal aesthetic, opt for minimalist decor with subtle coastal influences. For instance, light-coloured towels, wooden accessories, and potted plants can bring the natural elements of the beach indoors without overwhelming the clean, sleek lines of the space. Consider incorporating small decorative pieces like seashells, driftwood, or nautical accents to subtly tie the design together while keeping it sophisticated and fresh.

Conclusion:

By incorporating the right mix of ocean-inspired colours, natural textures, and contemporary design elements, you can create a modern coastal bathroom that feels both serene and stylish. The combination of the Symphony Series Ocean Mist Tile for the walls, Driftboard Shore Series Seashell White for the floor, and the striped shower design featuring the Sea Mist tiles perfectly captures the essence of a modern coastal retreat.
