How to achieve seaside vibes in your bathroom

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Achieving a dreamy sense of seaside luxury is easy in any bathroom, whether you are near the coast or not. It’s all about evoking a feeling of laidback holiday relaxation.

Fiona Gould, style expert from House of Rohl, shares her tips.

“Natural materials like raw timber, handmade tiles, stone, ceramics and french linens paired with crisp whites and pops of fresh greenery is the perfect way to bring that calming sense of holiday spirit into your bathroom space. 

“Step away from the cliched coastal motifs and instead look at subtle nods of seaside inspiration, through a soft colour palette with hints of calming blues, and turn to texture as the hero of the space.”

Oversized bathtubs made for long lazy soaks, positioned as the hero of the room, make for a quintessential luxury moment.

“The Victoria & Albert Pescadero freestanding bath has a beautiful wave-like detail, perfect for exuding a subtle nod to a seaside vibe. For a more contemporary seaside look, the Barcelona freestanding bath has a beautiful curved form, which would sit very comfortably in a fresh coastal look.”

Fiona adds classic statement tapware can add a pop of sophisticated glamour to a seaside look. Victoria & Albert’s Georgian collection is a lovely transitional shape, with a hint to a more classic form while still feeling fresh and contemporary.

“Pewter or English bronze finishes will compliment a cool -oned colour seaside palette beautifully, and although it is a very on-trend material choice for 2022, it’s also a timeless look that will look stylish for it’s lifetime.”

Whether you like a more traditional fir kind of fragrance or something more reminiscent of Aussie summertime, we've got you covered. There's even a fragrance free beeswax option.

Head to the blog via link in bio to find all these with pricing and links to buy.

Win a year's supply of laundry AND dishwashing detergent sheets!🚨

And they work! In fact their new dishwashing sheet formula is 3 times more powerful using protease enzymes (made from coconuts)!

One lucky follower can win a year's worth of laundry and dishwashing sheets worth almost $650! Wouldn't that be a great help with the old cost of living?!

For your chance, simply tag 2 friends below by midnight AEST on Monday 27 November 2023. 

One entry per person. Australian residents only. This giveaway is not endorsed by or affiliated with Meta.
