For that beach home you have been wanting… coastal style is the way to go. And we are not talking about the tchotchkes kind of beach house, this is stylish sophistication. The genre emphasizes those traits imperative to transportive relaxation: cool, breezy and simply rustic.
- Cool: coastal style typical draws on soft blues within a pastel palette with touches of navy and sometimes green drawing inspiration from the sea, salt, sand and sky. Furnishings and walls tend to be in light neutrals.
- Breezy: sheer curtains and white linens with slipcovers give that airy feel like the wind off the waves. Large windows and sliding glass doors permit plenty of light.
- Rustic: touches such as driftwood objects, wood beams and paneling and structures of light stone such as fireplaces prevail in coastal style. Wood is either painted white or distressed and beachy treasures are scattered throughout the space.
