View full detailsLet’s get real. Coastal bathrooms often miss the mark. They drown in clichés: anchors, starfish, and shades of blue that belong on a kid’s lunchbox. But a true coastal bathroom? It’s about mood. The way morning light slants through linen curtains. The texture of salt-crusted timber under your palm. At The Blue Space, we’re here to help you sidestep the kitsch and design a space that feels like a barefoot stroll along an Aussie beach—relaxed, resilient, and utterly you.
Forget postcard-perfect blues. The Australian coast is subtler. Think sun-bleached driftwood, the grey-green of eucalyptus leaves after rain, or the terracotta blush of outback soil meeting sea. Start with walls in a warm white—Dulux’s “Whisper White” or Taubmans’ “Sea Fog” work wonders. These hues have depth, like linen washed a hundred times.
Add contrast with a vanity in reclaimed spotted gum or blackbutt timber (peek our coastal vanities. These native woods age gracefully, their grains deepening like tide lines on sand. Flooring? Skip glossy tiles. Matte terracotta or honed “sandstone” tiles mimic weathered rock. Too bold? Use pale sage grout for a whisper of coastal scrub.
Pro tip: Terracotta isn’t just for floors. Try it as a splashback. Pair it with unlacquered brass taps—they’ll tarnish softly, like a boat hull kissed by salt spray.
A basin shouldn’t shout. Go for shapes that feel sculptural but unpretentious. A semi-recessed matte ceramic sink? Timeless. A trough-style basin in weathered zinc? Perfect for families—hides toothpaste splatters and develops a patina that says “lived-in,” not “showroom.” Our bathroom basins range nails this balance.
Tapware matters. Chrome’s too shiny for coastal grit. Brushed nickel or aged brass? Better. They’re like a surfboard rack left to weather—scuffed, but full of stories. Opt for lever handles, not knobs. Why? Sandy fingers grip them easier. (After a day at Bondi, you’ll thank us.)
Shower screens? Frameless glass. No bulky frames to collect grime. Recess a niche into the wall for shampoo bottles, clad it with mosaic tiles in muted greens or greys (we’ve got options). Finish with a rain showerhead—ideal for rinsing sand from hair or pretending you’re under a waterfall in the Daintree.
Aussie coastal light isn’t harsh. It’s hazy, diffused, like the air’s been dusted with salt. If you’ve got a window, fit it with timber shutters painted Resene “Half Thorndon Cream.” They’ll filter light while hiding your neighbour’s questionable gnome collection.
No window? Fake it. Hang a rattan pendant—it casts dappled shadows, like sunlight through pandanus leaves. Add LED strips under the vanity. Set them to warm white (2700K), not clinical blue. They’ll guide midnight trips to the loo without killing the vibe.
Mirror lighting? Skip Hollywood bulbs. Go for sconces with frosted glass or aged brass finishes. Our mirrors collection includes designs with built-in LEDs that flatter, not flatten.
Let’s face it: Aussie coastal homes battle mould and salt residue. Ventilation’s non-negotiable. Install a silent exhaust fan with a humidity sensor—no rattling, just quiet efficiency. Pair it with underfloor heating to dry tiles fast after showers.
Ceiling fans aren’t just for verandas. Choose a low-profile model with sealed bearings to withstand moisture. Our ceiling fans include options with timber blades that whisper “beach house” without shouting it.
Clutter’s the enemy of coastal zen. Vanities with deep, soft-close drawers are gold—stash towels, hair tools, or that half-empty sunscreen bottle. Our vanities use marine-grade ply, so they won’t warp in humidity.
Open shelves? Keep them minimal. Display a stack of linen towels in oatmeal, a ceramic vase with dried banksias, or a vintage fishing float. Use woven seagrass baskets for toiletries—they breathe better than plastic and add texture.
Hardware’s the jewellery of your bathroom. Ditch generic handles for brushed bronze pulls or knobs shaped like smooth stones.
Let’s talk durability. Salt air eats cheap metals for breakfast. Stick to brass, stainless steel, or zinc—they age like a well-loved pair of Blundstones. Floor tiles need grit: large-format porcelain with a honed finish resists slips. Walls? Shiplap cladding in PVC (painted Resene “Half Thorndon Cream”) adds rhythm without the upkeep of real wood.
Maintenance’s a breeze if you’re smart. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and a dash of eucalyptus oil—it cuts through salt residue and smells like the bush after rain. Seal natural stone annually, and choose mould-resistant grout. For peace of mind, order samples to test how finishes hold up in your space.
Art should feel stumbled upon, not staged. Frame a vintage map of your local coastline or a watercolour of gum leaves by a Cairns artist. Keep frames simple—raw timber or whitewashed finishes.
Accessories follow the “three-material rule.” Mix ceramic soap dish, timber towel rack, and woven fibre bath mat. Skip plastic—it’s the fast fashion of interiors. Our bathroom accessories include hemp shower curtains and hand-thrown pottery.
Even drains can charm. Choose grates in aged bronze or brushed steel from our wastes collection—they’ll blend in while resisting corrosion.
We’re not just sellers—we’re coastal dwellers. We know sandy floors, salty air, and the bliss of a bathroom that feels like a retreat. Our shower systems are tested in real beach homes. Our door handles won’t corrode after one winter. We’ve ditched trends for timelessness, because a coastal bathroom shouldn’t need a redo in five years.
You don’t need a full reno. Swap your mirror for a porthole-style one. Upgrade to a rain showerhead. Add a rattan stool for towel storage. Order samples—see how terracotta looks in your light, or if spotted gum’s grain speaks to you.
With The Blue Space, your coastal bathroom isn’t a fantasy. It’s a sandy-footed, sunlit reality.
A coastal-style bathroom draws inspiration from the tranquil and refreshing atmosphere of seaside environments. This design style is characterised by light, airy colour palettes like soft blues, sandy beiges, and crisp whites, which mimic the natural hues of the ocean and beach. In addition to the colours, the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and seagrass helps reinforce the connection to nature. Large windows or glass shower enclosures are also common, ensuring an abundance of natural light, which adds to the open and breezy feel.
Natural materials play a significant role in creating the authentic coastal aesthetic. Wood can be used for vanities, shelving, and mirror frames, while stone works well for countertops, backsplashes, or flooring, offering texture and earthiness. Incorporating seagrass, wicker, or rattan for storage baskets, light fixtures, or decorative pieces adds another layer of natural charm. These materials not only evoke the beach environment but also contribute warmth and texture, creating a space that feels connected to nature.
A coastal bathroom typically features soft, calming colours that reflect the colours of the sea and sand. Shades like soft blues, seafoam greens, sandy beiges, and whites are popular choices. These colours can be incorporated through paint, tiles, or accessories to create a serene and relaxing atmosphere. For added dimension, you can combine these hues with natural textures like linen or wicker, enhancing the beach-inspired theme while keeping the space light and inviting.
Natural light is a key component of the coastal bathroom aesthetic, as it enhances the airy and open feel of the space. To maximise natural light, consider installing larger windows, skylights, or using glass shower enclosures that allow light to flow freely throughout the room. Avoid heavy window treatments; instead, opt for light, sheer fabrics or simple blinds that provide privacy without blocking the sunlight. The goal is to create a bright, welcoming space that mirrors the openness of the beach.
Achieving a coastal bathroom look involves a careful balance of design elements that emphasise lightness and natural beauty. Incorporating elements like woven rugs, linen curtains, and wicker baskets adds texture to the space. Lighting is also crucial; consider pendant lights or sconces made from natural materials such as rattan, which enhance the beachy vibe. Decor accents like driftwood mirrors, seashell collections, or nautical-themed artwork can complete the look without overwhelming the space, creating a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere.
