Step 9: Design inspiration from Solana Beach (coastal without cliché)
Solana Beach is full of laid-back design inspiration—natural textures, clean lines, and materials that feel connected to the outdoors.

A timeless coastal bathroom palette often uses:
- warm neutrals and soft whites
- natural wood tones (properly finished for moisture areas)
- textured tile (subtle, not busy)
- simple metal finishes that won’t feel dated quickly
The goal is not “beach theme.” The goal is a bathroom that feels clean, bright, and calming—like the Solana Beach lifestyle.
