Key elements of coastal interiors
- Color palette: Soft blues, whites, sandy neutrals, and seafoam greens mimic the ocean and shoreline.
- Natural light: Maximise windows and use sheer curtains to enhance brightness and airflow.
- Textures and materials: Woven rugs, rattan furniture, driftwood accents, and linen fabrics evoke a relaxed coastal feel.
- Open layouts: Minimal partitions create airy, flowing spaces ideal for coastal homes.
- Marine-inspired decor: Nautical elements, shells, coral, and ocean artwork add character without overwhelming the space.
Furniture and layout tips
- Choose lightweight, movable furniture for versatility and ease of cleaning.
- Use multi-functional pieces like storage benches or extendable tables to keep spaces uncluttered.
- Position seating to capture natural light and views where possible.
- Include a mix of modern and rustic pieces to reflect the casual elegance of coastal living.
Lighting & ambiance
Combine layered lighting with natural daylight: pendant lights, floor lamps, and wall sconces help maintain warmth and comfort. Reflective surfaces and mirrors enhance light diffusion.
Accents and personal touches
- Incorporate plants like palms and ferns for a fresh, tropical feel.
- Use marine-inspired artwork, coastal ceramics, and sea glass accessories sparingly.
- Textures like sisal, jute, and driftwood bring an organic, relaxed vibe.
