coastal bathroom remodel in encinitas by Team Renovate in San Diego

Your bathroom should be more than just functional, it should be a space that relaxes, refreshes, and reflects your personal style. That’s exactly what our client, the Kelly-Lopez family, wanted when they contacted Team Renovate to transform their main bathroom in Encinitas, CA.


Their vision? A calm, beachy retreat that captures the fresh, open feel of the nearby coast. Here’s how we brought that dream to life.


The Challenge | Outdated, Dark, and Closed-Off


Before the remodel, the Kelly-Lopez bathroom felt dark, heavy, and dated. The beige tiles, brass finishes, bulky built-in tub, and small enclosed shower made the space feel cramped and disconnected from the peaceful, coastal atmosphere they loved.

They dreamed of a bathroom that was open, bright, and inspired by beach tones, something that felt as fresh and calming as an ocean breeze.


Our Solution | A Full Coastal Makeover


After listening closely to their goals, we proposed a full gut renovation focused on creating a clean, modern, and airy spa-like retreat.


Key upgrades included:


  • Opening up the space with a more flowing, modern layout.

  • Removing the built-in tub to install a large walk-in shower featuring coastal textures.

  • Painting the walls a soft seafoam green to evoke ocean breezes and coastal tranquility.

  • Installing large-format marble-look porcelain tile for a bright, seamless finish on the floors and walls.

  • Adding sleek, contemporary fixtures with dual mirrors for elegance and functionality.

  • Maximizing natural light and upgrading all lighting for a brighter, more inviting feel.


The Renovation Details | From Outdated to Coastal Dream


This remodel was a full, down-to-the-studs renovation that included:


  • Complete demolition of the tub, shower, tile, vanity, carpet flooring, and old lighting.

  • Installation of a custom walk-in shower with pebble-style flooring and marble-effect tile.

  • Built-in shower niche and corner bench for extra comfort and storage.

  • A brand-new dual-sink vanity in soft gray with modern chrome hardware.

  • Wall-mounted towel warmer and recessed lighting for a spa-like experience.

  • Fresh coastal blue paint to capture the airy, beach-inspired feeling.

  • Installation of elegant arched mirrors and modern lighting fixtures over the vanity.

Every choice, from layout to materials, was made to create a bathroom that feels open, calm, and timeless.
