Whether you are decorating a simple beach cottage or your home, Coastal design style is a charming and why not? a fun way to bring the beauty and wonders of outdoors in.
Coastal design is often inspired by the coastal decor and beach with white walls, coral and blue accents, natural wood, rocks and shells. The color palette is generally characterized as “breezy” with pastel or even bright nuances influenced by the sand and ocean.
To attain the beautiful interior look of a beach cabin or cottage, clapboard and bead board are usually used as wall coverings. Plenty of natural light is getting inside through the use of white slatted blinds or sheer window panels. Furniture is light, casual, functional and comfortable so as to fit easily in with vacation feeling and also with the active and funny beachfront lifestyle. Interiors are spacious and often accented by regional design and decor elements as fishing, nautical, starfish, shells, etc from well-known coastal communities, like Caribbean, Pacific Coast, Nantucket or Hampton’s.
