There have been many style trends that were huge hits in the design world and then trickled out of fashion. On the other hand, there are styles that come into our homes and stay forever. Coastal decor is one of those design styles that is here to stay. Whether it’s the flowing waves and sandy beaches that attract you, or the lush greenery and peaceful elements that surround the sea, you can bring the beauty of the coast into your home. Here are a few tips for getting started on your coastal design.
Earth-Inspired Textures
Picture yourself standing at the edge of the ocean. What types of textures surround you? Your feet are covered in grainy sand. The flowing ocean spreads for miles in front of you. Smooth, shiny shells are scattered all around. Perhaps there is floating driftwood crossing your path, rocky cliffs in the distance, or bright greenery along the water.
Coastal decor takes the textures of the sea and incorporates them into design elements. Take a look at this living area. The ocean has become the backdrop of this space with the incredible view-through offered by the Hunter Douglas Silhouette shadings. The area rug reminds us of sandy beaches and the pops of white add a fresh touch that pulls this space all together.
Calming Colors
Coastal decor captures the essence of the sea with its tranquil palette. We see blues, greens, and neutrals inspired by nature. Think: soft gray, sandy beige, cloudy white matched with cool blues and earthy greens. Your palette will breathe a breath of fresh air into your design.
Here, creamy white makes up the base of this design. The Provenance Woven Wood shade acts as the accent color with a gorgeous blue-green fabric. Then, this space is finished off with wooden elements and fresh flowers.
Seaside Decor
When you choose coastal decor elements, search for pieces that remind you of the shore. Textures and colors should come together. White-washed finishes and weathered woods will offer a subtle reminder of the elements you see on the beach. Warm grays and bright greenery will create a gorgeous contrast. Curved shapes and woven fabrics will work beautifully in your coastal design.
This space is warm and welcoming, offering gentle touches of the coast. The gentle palette and natural elements work together flawlessly. The Everwood blinds create a simple backdrop, bringing the outdoor view in as part of the design. Coastal decor has never been so captivating.
