Elements of Coastal Design
For a home that greets you with a calming airiness, a breezy brightness, and a comfortable coolness that can only be matched by an ocean breeze and warm sand beneath the toes, you may want to consider a coastal interior design for your home renovation.
Drawing influence from the relaxed lifestyle of a life by the sea, a coastal home design should emanate ease and comfort. Typically incorporating a soothing color palette and patterns that give a touch of prep, you don’t need a chipped “Gone Fishing” sign to convey an air of coastal relaxation in your home. In fact, this design esthetic today is much more subtle than that. If you feel at ease by the water and want to bring that soothing inspiration into your home, consider a coastal interior design.
We’ve compiled a list of some key elements of the coastal design philosophy you can draw from while creating your own private beachy oasis:
- Color palette of whites and blues
- Striped and plaid patterns
- Distressed, light wood furniture pieces
- Glass accents (light fixtures, decor items)
- Beach-derived accessories (shells, driftwood sculptures, lanterns, sea glass)
- Woven accents (wicker baskets, jute area rugs, rattan furniture pieces)
- Comfortable fabrics (for seating, bedding, window treatments)
- Bright, natural light
