Add rattan baskets under the vanity for towels and a lidded hamper by a small window seat. Mood: light, airy, storage without bulk.

This breezy space feels like a quiet morning walk by the shore. Walls are painted a soft sea-glass green with crisp white beadboard wainscoting, and the floor features matte hex tiles in a sandy beige.
