Dreaming of a seaside cabin? Whether you’re East Coast, West Coast or no-coast, you can transform your bathroom into a beach retreat with one of the year’s hottest design trends: coastal chic. From shimmering blues to sandy hues, these 12 tile ideas strike the perfect balance between sleek sophistication and sun-drenched relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Embodying his effortless beach aesthetic, the latest tile in our exclusive Jeffrey Alan Marks designer collaboration<\/a> brings a burst of energy to this soothing coastal chic space. The Sand Dollar Ocean tile<\/a> (also available in grey Ash<\/a>) features a blue sand dollar motif on a crisp white background. We love how the mostly white space lets the circular blue pattern shine, but you could easily dial up the coastal vibe with bright blue accents.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Subtle shifts in tone give the Hackney Dark Blue tile<\/a> its stunning, undulating quality\u2014hallmarks of handmade-look tile. Rich blues and a glossy finish create a shimmering effect as light dances across the surface, capturing the essence of water in motion. Explore our wide selection of handmade-look tile<\/a> for more perfectly imperfect styles.<\/p>\n\n\n Blue isn\u2019t the only color that elicits the oceanside\u2014sandy hues capture the warmth of a day at the beach, even in the middle of a Midwest winter. The Wave Old Cream tile<\/a> featured in this coastal bathroom soothes the senses with its soft, flowing movement. While this gorgeous beige pairs beautifully with the crisp white walls and vanity, you can elevate the coastal vibe with complementary light-blue accents.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not every day at the beach is sun-soaked. Cool neutrals can be just as effective as warm tones in creating a breezy oceanscape. Here, the Jeffrey Alan Marks Summerland Miramar tile<\/a> is paired with the Tribeca Gypsum White tile<\/a>. The cool grey undertones of the handmade-look subway tile bring a soothing moodiness to this coastal chic bathroom, while the crisp white and sun-faded blue linen-inspired pattern adds a summery touch. Shop our exclusive Jeffrey Alan Marks designer collection<\/a> for more effortlessly cool coastal designs.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like sea and sand, blue and beige are a natural pairing that instantly evokes a coastal chic aesthetic. This stylish bathroom features the blue-green Look Avio subway wall tile<\/a> alongside the sandy Ragno Taupe hex floor tile<\/a>. The vibrant, cool tones of the handmade-look subway tile beautifully complement the warm beige-taupe floor tile. Notice how the prominent white grout lines in the grid-stack subway tile create a visual throughline to the geometric white pattern on the hex tile, as well as the white wall and shower floor tiles. Shop our wide selections of blue tile<\/a> and beige tile<\/a> to find your perfect combination. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s another take on the Jeffrey Alan Marks Summerland tile, this time in the dark-grey Toro<\/a>. The black-and-white color scheme flips the script on the traditional blue-and-beige coastal palette. The faded linen-inspired patterned tile delivers coastal vibes, while the Tribeca subway wall tiles\u2014in Gypsum White<\/a> and black Basalt<\/a>\u2014add bold, color-blocked contrast. To keep the space coastal yet maintain the color scheme, add artsy black-and-white beach photos and white shells.<\/p>\n\n\n Set against a matte white background, the glossy light-blue crosses of the Astron Azul tile<\/a> reflect the light, adding depth and interest to this subtly beautiful design. We love how this coastal bathroom pairs the patterned tile with the marble-look Motion Soft Grey tile<\/a>, though it would look just as stunning with a warm beige option.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Create the full sensory experience of a day at the beach with the Grey Pebble Small tile<\/a>. The raised pebble mosaic offers a gentle foot massage as you go about your morning or evening routine\u2014or install it on the wall and enjoy the smooth curves under your hand. Just add an ocean-breeze candle, and your senses will be convinced you’re seaside.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If your aesthetic leans artistic, the beautiful, abstract design of the Jeffrey Alan Marks Big Sur Off the Hook tile<\/a> (also available in the green-toned Sea Spray<\/a>) will express your refined, eclectic taste. Featuring a glossy blue patina finish reminiscent of glazed pottery and six distinct, multi-directional tile faces, this tile invites endless creativity in layout and expression.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coastal chic design is incredibly versatile\u2014it can be as cultured or as kitschy as you like. Marble tile<\/a> not only embodies elegance, but its veining can range from dramatic to subtle, creating a sense of movement that echoes the ever-changing nature of sea and sand. This sophisticated bathroom, designed by Bria Hammel Interiors<\/a>, features the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile<\/a>; its zigzag pattern and soft grey and beige veining enhance the refined coastal aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Who can resist the beauty of sunlight sparkling on the open sea? Bring this shimmering effect to your space with naturally reflective glass tile. Here, the Blue Twilight Brick tile<\/a> adds shine to the bathtub surround with a stunning array of dark and light blue tones. If you love this dazzling effect, explore our wide assortment of glass tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A quintessential nautical design element, stripes instantly make any space feel sea-worthy. This sleek shower, designed by Timber Trails<\/a>, elevates the classic pattern by combining marble<\/a> and travertine<\/a> to create elegant lines. The alternating Legno travertine<\/a> and San Dona marble tiles<\/a> form a serene space that recalls the natural beauty of a sandy shore.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to transform your house into a beach house?
