No coastal interior is complete without a decked-out coastal bathroom. Bathrooms may not be the first thing you see when you step foot in a home, but it’s tucked-away places like these that bring your home’s aesthetic together.

What’s nice? Coastal style is sleek, recognizable, and clearly defined, so crafting a coastal bathroom shouldn’t be all that difficult. Stick to beach-inspired colors, optimize for breezy vibes, and sneak in little luxuries that’ll turn your bathroom into a getaway. 

With a little care and creativity, you can design a coastal bathroom that feels like its own vacation destination, and the following coastal bathroom ideas will show you exactly how to pull that off.

01 Stick to Classic Coastal Colors

Coastal design is known for its iconic beachy palette, so set the scene with a few seaside colors. Stock up on oceany blues, sandy beiges, and crisp seafoam whites. And if you’re craving a pop of color, a sunny yellow or a playful orange should do.

02 Put an Accent Wall in Your Shower

Accent walls make a fun addition to any space—your shower, included. And when it comes to coastal design, you have all kinds of accent wall options. You can line one shower wall with printed titles, or you can stick to a punchy color. Either way, you’re in for something eye-catching.

03 Decorate With Pampas Grass

Flower-filled vases put the finishing touches on any space. But since you’re crafting a coastal bathroom, consider trading garden-picked flowers for a beachier plant, like pampas grass.

04 Snag a Rustic Bath Stool

Looking for a way to add flexibility to your bathroom? Snag a bath stool. The shower-friendly stools are perfect for seating, storage, and more. And if you score a particularly rustic option—one that resembles driftwood—you’ll end up with an accent that ties your beachy space together.

05 Mount Some Nautical Sconces

A bathroom chandelier may seem entirely out of place in a coastal interior. But snag a fixture made from textured wooden beads, and you’ll end up with something that doesn’t just suit your beachy bathroom—but that actually brings it together.

07 Load Up on Greenery

The best coastal spaces make you feel connected to nature even when there’s no beach in sight, so stock up on greenery, and bring the outdoors to you. Obviously, featuring beachy plants is the easiest way to capture some seaside ambiance. But even less traditional plants can feel beachy when surrounded by classic coastal colors.

08 Have Fun With Your Floor Tiles

If you have the wherewithal to renovate your floors, consider springing for an eye-catching option. Snag a printed tile, and cover your floors with it. The choice will be decidedly bathroom-appropriate—and it’ll add some welcome fun to your coastal decor scheme.

09 Give the Room a Sense of Place

Coastal interiors naturally have a sense of place. But if you want that sense of place to be more specific than “beachy,” add touches that are specific to your particular locale. Hang photos of nearby places, feature locally made pieces, and snag plants you can only find in your part of town.
