HOW TO CREATE A UNIQUE COASTAL DESIGN
As the weather warms up for all, beach vibes consume our every day life. Who doesn't want to be sipping a fruity drink with our toes in the sand?! Beach decor is everywhere because it's light, airy, and invokes a sense of nostalgia & relaxation. Just like you don't want to show up to a pool party in the same bathing suit your friend has on, your coastal decor doesn't have to look like everyone else's.
Bright, Fun Color
Blues, greens, oranges, and pinks make a space instantly feel tropical. Stick to light walls and make your upholstery smile. Using different textures of fabrics will make your space less sugary sweet.
Airy, Monochromatic
If color is fear inducing, you can stick to the contrast of white and navy for a rich, coastal feel. The light walls with the white upholstery and the navy accents allow for the natural light outside to be part of the color palette.

Natural Elements
Whether it is an amazing piece of artwork for your walls or a piece of furniture, part of the coastal theme is definitely keeping to nature.

We once had a client say that when he walked into a coastal room he wanted to feel relaxed and like he should be drinking a Corona. Coastal decor should be just that: fun and relaxing.
