Beachy and coastal decor is not just for a home on the seaside but can also be great for
any home anywhere. Here are some tips on how to bring this decor into your home making it feel like a vacation home all year round.
1. Hamptons
When you think of Hamptons style decor you think of a traditional American look. This could include white picket fences, relaxed finishes and clean lines. You will not see the typical beachy decor but more of a nautical touch. Think of blues and crisp whites with warm textures and layers that create a nice comfortable space. This style is great for bringing the sea into your traditional home design.
2. Modern White
Sometimes white gets a hard wrap that the color is boring and plain but this is the opposite. White in a bedroom or bathroom will give the space a nice calming effect. White walls can also brighten up a space to reflect the natural lighting. Modern White is both beautiful and bold making it perfect for living spaces, bedrooms and more. Made to have a more consistent white finish, Modern White is great for a refined, beachy look.
3. Sand Stone
This is a perfect style for a home using earthy and warm tones that reflect the beach sand. Sandstone can be used for walkways, retaining walls and walkways and counters in your home. It has multiple uses and is very durable. Decorating with it gives your home an aesthetic appeal.
These three tips are great for creating a beachy look all year round. Remember to go with a sophisticated coastal design without the tacky beach signs and seashells.
“Coastal design has been around for centuries, largely because it was the manner in which people decorated their waterfront or seaside homes. This design aesthetic began very much as a product of the environment you’re in when in a beach or lake house,” Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions says. “Over time this look has evolved to be less literal, and more an overall interpretation subject to the designer or homeowner and how they choose to bring the outside in, regardless of the home being situated in a coastal location. It is meant to evoke a feeling of being near the water— bringing the relaxation, ease, and casual vibe of waterside living to everyday life.”
