The Coastal Chic Bathroom Renovation project focused on creating a light, airy, and modern bathroom space that reflects a coastal aesthetic while incorporating contemporary design elements. The main objective was to design a functional yet stylish bathroom that evokes the tranquility of a seaside retreat. Key components of the renovation included the installation of a spacious glass-enclosed shower with sleek, white subway tiles and brass fixtures, a freestanding bathtub with a matching brass faucet, and a custom-built vanity with a marble countertop. The bathroom’s design also features shiplap walls painted in soft blue tones, adding to the coastal theme, and modern lighting fixtures that contribute to the overall ambiance. The scope of work involved a complete reconfiguration of the existing bathroom layout to maximize natural light and create a more open, inviting space.
Project Challenges
- Material Selection and Cohesion: One of the significant challenges was selecting materials that would complement each other while maintaining the coastal theme. The coordination of the white subway tiles, brass fixtures, shiplap walls, and marble countertop required careful consideration to ensure a cohesive design.
Shower and Tub Placement: The placement of the glass-enclosed shower and the freestanding tub needed to be carefully planned to ensure the room felt spacious and functional. Balancing these elements within the available space while allowing for ease of movement and access was a critical challenge.
Lighting Design: The integration of modern lighting fixtures, including the pendant light above the tub and the wall sconces, required thoughtful placement to ensure that the bathroom was well-lit without creating harsh shadows. Achieving the right balance of light was essential to enhance the bathroom’s airy and relaxing atmosphere.
Plumbing Adjustments: The installation of new brass fixtures and the repositioning of the shower and tub required significant plumbing adjustments. These changes needed to be made without compromising the integrity of the existing plumbing system and within the constraints of the bathroom’s structure.
Project Mission
The mission of the Coastal Chic Bathroom Renovation project was to create a serene and luxurious bathroom space that embodies the essence of coastal living while offering modern comforts and conveniences.

By focusing on high-quality materials, thoughtful design, and meticulous craftsmanship, the renovation sought to deliver a space that enhances the homeowner’s daily experience and serves as a peaceful retreat within their home. The long-term vision was to create a bathroom that remains stylish and functional over time, providing a perfect balance between elegance and practicality.
