How to Choose the Perfect Shower Curtain for a Coastal-Inspired Bathroom – Catch the Wave with Amity Home

Have you ever entered a coastal-themed bathroom and immediately felt like you were in a soothing beach getaway? It’s often the unnoticeable, and yet meaningful, design decisions that give you that pleasant, breezy feeling—a shower curtain is absolutely one of the biggest factors. It’s not only a necessity, but it is a large piece of fabric that will set the stage of the entire room, so it is a great place to begin adding color, texture, and your signature coastal style.

In a coastal bathroom, your shower curtain should have images of sandy beaches, ocean surf, and nautical elements. It sets a great building block for your design, as you can ground the space with some soft textures and quiet colors that are cohesive to the decor around the room.

At Amity Home, we believe your home can always be your sanctuary. That is why our textiles, most notably our beautiful shower curtains, are carefully designed with the intention of quality materials and timeless designs, allowing you to create or enjoy a “statement” shower curtain for many years. Our curtains are great building blocks to coordinate with other styles when designing your coastal paradise.

We have included some of our favorite shower curtains from our exclusive collections.

1] Hayes Stripe Shower Curtain

If you are wanting to achieve the iconic, timeless look of a New England coastal retreat, look no further than the Hayes Stripe Shower Curtain. This design embodies laid-back elegance and offers a fresh, clean stripe motif. The calm combination of blue and white evokes the look of a beach cabana or a coastal boardwalk feel at once. The lightweight textural fabric creates depth but doesn’t monopolize the space of the design.

Why We Love It:

– Classic Nautical Stripe: Woven stripe patterns are synonymous with coastal method, offering a classic, understated pattern that blends seamlessly with natural wood and white tile that coastal methods use.

– Lightweight and Airy: The lightweight fabric hangs beautifully, bringing light and open space that define a coastal area for relaxation.

– Versatile Design: The shower curtain provides a blank canvas where accessories such as wicker, shell, or glass can be incorporated into the design.

2] Jerome Shower Curtain, Indigo Blue

When aiming for a deeper, more elegant oceanic feel in your coastal bathroom, the Jerome Shower Curtain in Indigo Blue is a lovely choice. The deep, rich indigo color reflects the darker depths of ocean waters, providing a dramatic high-end texture to your bathroom space. The fabric typically features subtle surface variations or a textural weave that gives the deeper shade consideration and not a flat feel, further enhancing its artisan vibe.

Why We Love It:

– Deep Ocean Color: The indigo blue is a striking chic alternative to lighter blues or a dramatic counterpoint to a lighter colored bathroom.

– Textural Considerations: The textile has a slight texture to the surface taking it to the luxury level mimicking the craft of traditional artisan hand-dyed textiles.

– Make It A Statement: This is the color you are looking for to instantly elevate the looks of any room, making it feel a little less kitsch and a little more refined.

3] Verne Stripe Shower Curtain

The Verne Stripe Shower Curtain presents a relaxed, casual take on coastal decor and is perfect for a breezy, laid-back beach house vibe. The curtain usually has a looser, more organic stripe pattern in soft, neutral colors—think soft grey, natural linen, or washed out blue. The overall look feels effortless and sun-washed, providing a natural calming energy to the space.

Why We Love It:

– Sun-washed Look: Soft colors and an organic stripe pattern lend themselves to that feeling of faded beach linens and driftwood.

– Natural Texture: The natural texture of the brushed fabric provides a lovely subtle, yet present, layer of visual interest consistent to a relaxed aesthetic.

– Pairs with Neutrals: Perfectly complements other natural materials like jute, rattan, and light wood to complete a calming coastal look.

A Few Quick Tips on Selecting the Right Coastal Shower Curtain

Are you looking forward to adding some of that beachy feeling to your bathroom? Here is what our designers suggest you think about:

– Consider your color scheme: Coastal does not just mean blue! Consider the colors you see at the shore: soft blues (sky/water), sandy beiges and creams (the beach), crisp whites (seafoam/clouds), and deep indigo or navy (the deep ocean). Choose a curtain color that either matches the walls or creates a sophisticated contrast.

– Texture: In coastal design, texture can bring dimension without overwhelming the eye with patterns. Look for cotton, linen blends, and waffle weaves. A textured fabric will feel more organic and not as much like a plastic shower curtain.

Consider how much light you get in your bathroom, if it is small, or if there is limited natural light. You may want to consider a lighter color or sheer curtain to keep the space feeling open and airy – also a focus with coastal style.
