Elements of a beach-inspired bathroom

Create a relaxing bathroom with beach-inspired elements.

For those who love summer and spending warm days at the beach, bring that feeling inside by creating a beach house bathroom. You’ll love the way it reminds you of fond memories spent near the waterfront. Here are a few features you can add to your bathroom for that seaside feel:

Beach tones
Choose colors that remind you of being near the ocean. For example, aqua on the walls or mixed into the shower tiles will allude to water, and a sandy brown counter or floor will evoke memories of walking along the beach.

You could also make the vanity cabinets white to help lighten the space and make it appear brighter.

Natural lighting
Going along with the illumination of the space, incorporate natural lighting as much as you can. You want large windows that let in plenty of light. Also, if you live near any bodies of water, the wide frames will give you a perfect view of the shore.

Accessories
To complete your beach house bathroom look, add nautical- or beach-themed accessories. For example, seashells and sand dollars are a popular choice, as are anchors and lines of rope. Simply choose the ones that match your space and preferences the most.
