You’ll always be on holidays here! Designed for a couple nearing retirement and completed in 2019 by Quine Building, this modern beach house truly embraces holiday living. Capturing views of the escarpment and the ocean, this home seizes the essence of summer living. In a highly exposed street, maintaining privacy while inviting the unmistakable vistas into each space was achieved through carefully placed windows and outdoor living areas. By positioning living areas upstairs, the views are introduced into each space and remain uninterrupted and undisturbed. The separation of living spaces to bedrooms flows seamlessly with the slope of the site creating a retreat for family members. An epitome of seaside living, the attention to detail exhibited by the build is second only to the serenity of it’s location.

The client’s vision was to create a contemporary bathroom with custom touches to produce an earthy, relaxing aesthetic. To create the look, custom timber cabinetry was specified, contrasted with matte black fittings and fixtures. Light and dark, large-format floor and wall tiles were also chosen reinforcing the contrasting effect. The shower offers a modern touch featuring subway tiles in a herringbone pattern and a free-standing bath was installed by the large window for the ultimate indulgence. The end result is a relaxing, modern yet refined space reflecting their style and complementing the rest of their home.

An acreage design with a twist – Unlike our other Acreage designs, not only does the Carrington Grand One 31 offer a facade full of windows and spectacular articulation due to the Garage location featured on the side, it also enables the design to perfectly suit corner blocks, for added versatility! The spacious Master Suite is positioned at the front of the home for those who like to enjoy their front yard landscaping and watch the world pass on by, from the comfort of their bed. For ultimate privacy, the Bedrooms are positioned at the other end of the home whereas the open plan Living/Kitchen/Dining bring the family together and is the heart of the home. The Dining overlooks the Outdoor Living with a seamless connection between the indoors and out. The Home Theatre is perfectly situated to shut out the rest of the household for complete enjoyment of a good film. The Home Office looks on to the front Porch, cleverly positioned for those working from home to offer privacy from the hub of the home.

Coastal Bathroom

smarterBATHROOMS+

One of our favourite things about summer is escaping to the beach, where time seems to slow down and we can enjoy this life’s meaningful things to the fullest. To celebrate this Aussie summer feeling, we’ve created Coastal bathrooms and kitchens that will bring relaxed seaside vibes into your home all year round. Soothing pastel colours, textural terrazzo and blonde timbers evoke the breathtaking beauty of nature. To accentuate this connection to Mother Nature, we included organic curves that add softness to the space for the ultimate beach retreat at home. Our Coastal bathrooms feature gorgeous terrazzo tiles accompanied by a stunning solid-surface free-standing bath and a practical floating vanity. To emulate nature’s organic forms, we introduced curves throughout the design, with a free-standing arch mirror setting the tone for the room. The mirror’s soft angles continue into the bath, the floor-mounted bath tap, and the curved shower screen. The repetition of soft finishes and materials can also be found in the smooth timber look chosen for the vanity and the round handles that adorn its drawers. We selected brushed nickel for the tapware and accessories, which work perfectly with the subtly textured sage subway tiles to create a sense of serenity and calm.

Beach Style Bathroom Design Ideas

If you’re looking for beach style bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Beach Style Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
