How can I get that coastal feel with my Brisbane bathroom renovation?

Everyone loves the crystal blue waters and the miles of sandy beaches for which Queensland is well-known. Unfortunately, we can’t all live by the beach, but we can bring some of the tranquillity of the coastal areas to our homes by using these Brisbane bathroom renovation ideas.

Here are some of my ideas on how you can do it.

1. Blue in tiles

Bringing that ocean feel to the bathroom will require some blue shades in your coastal bathroom renovation. Go for the light blue pastel shades if you are after light and airy, or one of the deeper blues if you are more inspired by the darker hues of the deep ocean swells. Try a wavy pattern for a beachside feel or a mix of bright blue and white subway tiles for a nautical look.

2. Sandy coloured flooring

Your choice of flooring will go a long way towards delivering a coastal feel to your bathroom. Select from a wide range of sandy-coloured tiles for your flooring, or maybe natural stone or porcelain lookalikes might work better in the space you have.

3. Include nautical tones in your coastal theme design

Pastel blue walls separated by white beadboard, and navy-blue cabinets combine to deliver an unbeatable beachy vibe. You might not be able to see the beach from your bathroom, but you can simulate the ocean feel with an appropriate choice in nautical-themed wallpaper. From shellfish patterns to colourful corals and crashing waves, tons of designs are available to create the perfect beach bathroom coastal getaway.

4. Don’t forget the ceiling

The ceiling is often neglected in a design scheme, but it can do a lot to improve the coastal bathroom design. Use darker colours on high ceilings to create a cosier feel or lighter shades to create an airy, welcoming space.

5. Include timber

Timber helps to amplify the coastal beach-house ambience with a rustic feel. Use timber cladding up the walls to create a relaxing day-spa vibe. Or use porcelain tiles disguised as timber cladding for the floor for the luxury resort look.

Inspirations for your Brisbane bathroom renovation this 2021

The extended pandemic of the last couple of years has put a lot of focus on cleanliness, especially in bathrooms. As a result, bathroom renovation trends lean towards open, easy-to-clean environments. Fortunately, it’s possible to have an easy-care bathroom without sacrificing any of the luxuries.

Here are just a few of our favourite design choices happening in Brisbane bathroom renovations in 2021.

1. Large wall tiles

Tile mosaics created from hundreds of tiny tiles and hard-to-clean grout lines have been replaced with their more hygienic large-format counterparts. Larger tiles help open up a space and make it feel less cluttered, and minimal grout lines make the battle against mould and bathroom grime more straightforward.

2. Soaking tubs for small spaces

After one of those days at work, there’s nothing quite like full submersion in warm water to soothe the soul. People are beginning to realise that a soaking tub means they can have a shower cubicle and a bath, even in a small space. Soaking tubs are deeper but often shorter than standard tubs, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice the whole bath experience because you are short on square footage in your bathroom.

3. Warm colors with easy clean durable paints

Warm colours are the most popular in 2021, with easy-clean, durable paints that resist mould and grime buildup. They are stain-resistant and can handle the rigours of vigorous cleaning against bacteria and viruses. The growing popularity of these paints has inspired manufacturers to produce an even greater range of finishes, so bathroom designs don’t have to sacrifice utility for plain colours.

4. Smart toilets

Nobody enjoys cleaning or touching a dirty toilet. Life is made easier with smart devices, so why not add a touch of luxury to your bathroom with one of the new smart toilets. Smart toilets have fewer exposed parts to collect grime and self-opening and closing lids with bacteria destroying UV lights underneath. Self-cleaning technology and cling-free surfaces significantly reduce your cleaning time, and the smooth, clean lines will make cleaning more effortless when you do have to wipe your smart toilet down.

5. Durable tile flooring and heated flooring

Ceramic tiles are available in a wide range of finishes, including some very nice wood finishes. These tiles are perfect for people who want easy cleaning and durable tiles but the warm ambience that only wood textures can provide. However, tiles can feel cold on your feet on a cool winter’s morning.  Heated flooring gives you the best of both worlds, and you won’t have to put on your slippers to get through your morning bathroom routine.

Important things to consider before starting a Brisbane bathroom renovation

A bathroom renovation is one of the best ways to add value to your Brisbane home. Plus, with the right bathroom design you can also create a more modern look and feel for an older home.

Remodelling a bathroom is nothing like changing up a bedroom or lounge room. In those rooms, you only have the walls, floors, and ceilings to worry about. In a bathroom, however, you’ve got the walls, what’s behind the walls, and sometimes underneath the floor to consider as well. And then there’s all the fixtures, cabinets, and other bits and bobs to consider.
