COASTAL DECORATING – DECIDE YOUR BEACH ESCAPE!



Are you ready to dip your toes in the sand and surf even when it is snowing outside? Well, I say that if you can’t make it to the beach, bring the beach home. One of my favorite trends in home decorating right now is the beach style decorating trend. I feel the fall rolling in and, exhilarating as that is, part of me never wants the summer to end. I have been all about the beach cottage trend for a few years now and I will be decorating our larger guest bedroom in a similar style.

But before collecting those beach mementos, take a moment to consider personal style. Even within particular styles, niches abound. For example, when you hear the phrase “Coastal Decor”, many different styles or images may flash across your mind. Of course, this cozy style of decorating has several hallmarks. Light and naturally bright interiors that evoke a sense of relaxation. Comfortable spaces that feel classic, yet inviting. Yet, there are also many different subsets within the seaside style. Although many think of what is termed American Coastal Style,  there are seaside retreats in many different climates from Bali to Nova Scotia. Do you want a tropical look? A Nantucket? A classic nautical escape? An easy breezy beach cottage?

BEACH COTTAGE

Indicative of the New England style, this niche keeps things interesting by mixing old and new. Antiques and rustic, natural items are paired with modern accents.

Comfort is definitely king in the beach cottage style. Layers of soft and usually lighter weight fabrics like linen are used here. The beach theme doesn’t have to be over the top with the use of accents and reclaimed items mixed with beach accents can achieve a similar vibe.

AMERICAN COASTAL STYLE

Coastal Style - Light and breezy, this style definitely draws on the classic beach elements such as sand, shells, and sky.

Coastal Style - Keep pairings small with accents. A simple display case of "found" beach objects or a accent wall with driftwood keeps the airy feeling without being overwhelmed.

Love this soft aqua color scheme in the living room. All the matching textured fabrics are a bonus as well.
Not all coastal style is shabby chic. You can get the seaside feel with keeping the look high-end and sophisticated. Details such as the nail heads on upholstery and a glamorous capiz shell light fixture can add a sense of refinement.

NAUTICAL THEMED DECOR

Nautical elements such as anchors, a ship's wheel, or buoys can work in any style of beach decor, but grouping them together can give a very distinct feel differing from a trip to the beach.
 What about a coastal theme that takes you off the dry land? Nautical elements such as anchors, a ship’s wheel, or buoys can work in any style of beach decor, but grouping them together can give a very distinct feel that differs from a trip to the beach.

While it isn’t a rule, the color scheme of the nautical theme lends itself more to bold primary accents such as red and navy. Classic nautical prints are an easy way to bring this style into your home.

TROPICAL SEASIDE RETREAT

Tropical Seaside Retreat - This dining room has a relaxed and laid back feel but still nice enough for formal company.
A personal favorite is the calm breezy tropics. Elegantly placed tropical plants are definitely popular but don’t go overboard.
Beautiful Credenza in a tropical retreat with beach accents and a palm plant. Love the navy and white color scheme.
Color hues in the tropical coastal style are definitely more forgiving. Feel free to use a few jewel tone colors like coral or emerald-green in select spots around the room.
The point is that are as many different beach styles as there are locales and different cultures around them. The Caribbean is obviously very different from Nantucket. If you are looking for a way to bring the beach vibe into your home, first ask yourself where do you envision your escape. I would love to hear all about it!
