Open and Airy
Use windows to your advantage. Plenty of lighting helps to set the seaside mood. Use soft tones in your fabrics, linen curtains and crisp white slipcovers to bring together a soothing coastal living look.
Color Palettes for a Coastal Look
A soothing color palette is essential to any beachy design and what's more beachy (or lakey) that white? Pale neutrals with cheerful pops of color will support a sunny coastal look.
Use Lighting
Natural lighting is essential in making a lake home feel coastal. When you want to be reminded of a breezy sunny day at the beatch, allow natural light to complement your fabrics and accent pieces. Consider wallcovering that reflects the light.
Nature and Neutrals
A neutral palette of driftwood, shells, and water inspired artwork add texture and a weathered look that is synonymous with beach style. Decorate tables and incorporate cottage-inspired furnishings, beach glass bottles and shelled lamps or accessories.
Mix Your Style
Whether you prefer a modern or traditional look or have more of an eclectic style, you can merge your preferences with coastal accents and finishes to accomplish a coastal look. For a modern feel, use accessories and furniture with clean lines and add glamour with metallics and bright colors. For a more traditional look, incorporate detail, texture and pattern into your mix. For those who desire an eclectic look, add weathered furnishings and whimsical seaside-inspired pieces.
Want to avoid overdoing the beach look?
Avoid using too many woven fabrics or wicker furnishings. The goal is to create a refreshing and clean look so be careful not to add too many heavy pieces. Less can be more - don't incorporate too many knick-knacks or clutter every surface. We hope you found these coastal design tips helpful!
