How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your bathroom in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Sea Salt White (#F8F7F2) for walls, ceilings, slipcovers.
- 3Set the vanity top at 80-90 cm high and light the mirror from both sides at eye level, around 150-160 cm.
- 4Bring in white linen slipcovers and curtains and rattan, wicker and seagrass weaving — the two signature materials of Coastal design.
- 5Add one statement piece: slipcovered sofa in white or oatmeal linen.
- 6Finish with warm sand (#DCCBA8) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- White linen slipcovers and curtains
- Rattan, wicker and seagrass weaving
- Jute and sisal rugs
- Whitewashed and weathered wood
- Sea-glass-toned glass and ceramic
Furniture to look for
- Slipcovered sofa in white or oatmeal linen
- Rattan armchairs with loose cushions
- Whitewashed wooden coffee table
- Sheer gauzy curtains on simple rods
- A large jute rug over the seating area
Mistakes to avoid
- Skipping or undersizing ventilation, which guarantees peeling paint and mold within a couple of years.
- Using more than three different tiles in one small room, which makes it feel chaotic and smaller.
- Lighting the mirror only from above, casting shadows under the eyes and chin.
Budget tips
- Regrout or reglaze existing tile instead of retiling - a professional reglaze costs a fraction of replacement.
- Keep every plumbing fixture in its current position; moving a toilet or drain is the single biggest cost driver.
- Replace the mirror, faucet and shower head together for a coordinated refresh under a few hundred dollars.
