Achieving a gorgeous coastal look
Welcoming and natural, coastal interior decor extends a calm beach feeling to your space year-round. Taking inspiration from the seaside surroundings, blending neutral hues and natural materials will perfect this casual style.
Color Palette
Sometimes the small things make the biggest impact, take for example a throw pillow. Soft cream, coral, beige, or shades of whites and blues bring a finished look while adding color and texture. Big windows, or any windows for that matter, are perfect for adding light-toned fabric curtains sheer enough to let the sunlight come through them to keep the space bright and airy.
Open Spaces
Coastal design style leans more towards the clean and simple, the saying “less is more” would be a helpful reminder when planning. Open spaces that flow, natural elements and objects that don’t obstruct or clutter is key. The main goal is to have a breathable design with comfort and function as top priorities
Natural Materials
A true coastal vibe consists of pieces made from natural materials. Wood, rattan and wicker furniture pieces have an organic feel that blend in nicely with the beach look. Bead, rope and wood pendants also complement coastal interiors and make the design more cohesive. For a natural way to bring easy beauty to your space, adding succulents and larger potted plants or grasses creates an indoor oasis.
Flooring
One of the most important factors in your design is flooring. Wood floors help bring a natural feeling into the room and work as a backdrop for the rest of your vision. Envisioning driftwood, sand dunes, rolling tides and smooth beach pebbles, wood flooring with earthy tones are what you want to wake up to every morning.
