Brightness: the key to a successful coastal styling
The presence of natural light is essential for the coastal style. Apart from the generous use of windows, there are a number of tricks to maximize the amount of natural light entering your home.
Of course, glass doors, skylights, and skylights are the best allies in this regard, but by placing a mirror near a window and opting for a table with a glass surface, the light will be reflected and then more easily diffused throughout the room.
The choice of fabrics: freshness and simplicity
The windows of coastal interiors are dressed with curtains made of a light, vaporous material; the curtains must be able to “dance” when a gentle breeze comes. White cotton or linen curtains are ideal. As for carpets, plant fibers are preferred.
The nautical touch: small details that make all the difference
Textile accessories with marine-inspired prints (shells, boat anchors, marine animals, etc.) remain a great way to add coastal home decor accessories with a nautical touch to your decor. Decorate your sofas with a few cushions by following this theme, and voilà!
You can also create an accent wall with nautical-inspired wallpaper to add a lot of style to a room.
Stripes, of course!
Stripes are also a must, whether in small proportions (cushions, carpets, stools, etc.) or by adding an armchair to the room.
What are beachy colors?
The colors
Keep in mind that white is a sure bet for a successful coastal style; it will bring a dose of simplicity and purity to the decor while accentuating the brightness of the room. That said, there’s nothing to stop you from adding color.
Play the game of finesse by choosing a light blue for your walls, a classic of the coastal style since it reminds you of the sea and the sky. It will be perfect for a bathroom or a bedroom but can become your neutral color for any room.
Beige, ivory, and cream, are colors that evoke sand and dunes, they are also suitable colors for your coastal style decor.
The nobleness of wood
Unlike the tropical style with its combination of exotic woods, the coastal style tends to use wood in its simpler version. Wood that seems to have aged on the beach is therefore very valuable for the coastal style.
You now know the secret to “bringing” the beach into your home.
