Understanding the Modern Coastal Style
The contemporary coastal style is about simplicity, texture, and natural elements. The color palette often features whitewashed accents, complemented by a mix of blues, greens, and neutral tones, particularly near the ocean and sandy beaches.
When it comes to furniture and decor, modern coastal design emphasizes clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. Think open spaces, streamlined furnishings, and uncluttered surfaces. Natural materials, such as wood, rattan, and linen, are incorporated for added texture and warmth.
Coastal style evokes memories of sandy beaches and warm sunny days with its laid-back vibe and gentle colors. It’s a haven from the hectic pace of day-to-day life and gently whispers ‘Summer’ all year round. The overall feel of coastal style design is relaxed, comfortable, and inviting, making it an excellent design choice for those who want to bring the captivating beauty of the beach into their home.

It’s easy to find inspiration in the natural beauty of the coast. Nothing says “coastal living” quite like an open living room, oversized sofas, nautical stripes, and textural elements. From raffia to rattan, natural materials offer the beautiful tones, shapes, and textures found in nature, while also bringing an approachable aesthetic.
Refine your furniture’s color palette to warm earth tones and light finishes to bring in some sun-drenched sophistication. Set the tone for a naturally inspired space by layering different textures, such as distressed wood and natural fiber rugs.

Key Elements of Coastal Interiors
Selecting the right color palette is one of the most important aspects of achieving a modern coastal look. You want to create a fresh, airy, and beachy space that avoids an overly nautical feel. Begin with a neutral color base, such as white, gray, or beige, to create a clean and modern foundation. Then, layer in shades of blue, green, and sandy beige to add depth and dimension.
If you’re hesitant about using too much color, try incorporating it in small ways, such as with throw pillows, art, or decorative accents. This way, you can add color without overwhelming the space. Remember to incorporate natural light and airy fabrics, such as cotton or linen, to complete the coastal vibe.
Here are a few design tips to create a coastal-inspired home:

1. Choose a Coastal Color Scheme
Although a coastal color scheme typically incorporates shades of blue, green, and sandy beige to create a serene and relaxing atmosphere, shades of gray and brown also work well. Regardless of your preference, choosing soothing tones is best to create a relaxing home that instantly makes you feel like you are on vacation at the beach.
Utilize these coastal colors in various ways, such as painting walls, selecting furniture and decor, and even incorporating them into textiles like curtains and throw pillows. The overall effect is tranquility and natural beauty, perfect for a beach house or any space where you want to evoke a sense of calm and relaxation.

There’s a new gray in town, and it’s not the cold, steely hue you’re used to. These go-with-everything shades, inspired by weathered wood, radiate warmth.
2. Be Sure to Include Plenty of Organic Textures
Natural materials feature inherent highs and lows for eye-catching depth and standout texture. Natural fibers, such as wicker baskets and a jute or sisal rug, instantly add a natural texture to the space. The perfect mix of materials includes wicker, natural woven shades, bamboo, and seagrass.


Add Strong Textural Elements for Warmth and Depth in the Design

Think about incorporating: Rattan (strong, lightweight, pliable, and sustainable. Rattan shines in the art of furniture making), Raffia (finely woven, the fiber from raffia palm brings unexpected texture), Grasscloth (dyed or in its natural state, grasscloth adds unparalleled texture to your walls), Abaca (durable abaca is fashioned into striking rugs, seats, and pendants), Seagrass (an aquatic plant that brings a decidedly beachy vibe. Lovely in basketry) and Jute (incredibly versatile, it’s a go-to-for flooring with a laid-back feel).

3. Choose Furniture that is Oversized, Casual & Comfortable
When it comes to furniture and decor, modern coastal design is all about simplicity and minimalism. The goal is to create a space that feels uncluttered, airy, and relaxed, inviting.
Start by selecting furniture with clean lines and a neutral color palette. Avoid anything too ornate or fussy, as it can detract from the overall aesthetic. Natural materials, such as rattan, linen, and wood, are perfect for adding texture and warmth to a space.
Using oversized furniture in coastal design is an excellent way to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in your home. The large pieces can make a statement and add a sense of coziness to the space while complementing the coast’s natural beauty.
Additionally, oversized furniture can be practical for entertaining guests or accommodating large families. Incorporating large-scale furniture into your coastal design can enhance both the aesthetic and functionality of your home.

4. Add Layers to Add Interest & Warmth
Layering is essential for providing an inviting warmth to almost any style of design, so be sure to add plenty of throw pillows and blankets wherever possible. Slipcovers on furniture, such as sofas, living room, and dining room chairs, are commonly used in shades of white, beige, or taupe.

5. Include Wood Wherever Possible
Embrace the Warmth of Wood: Woodwork details and flooring are the cornerstones of coastal style, weaving a sense of organic beauty into your space. Think painted board-and-batten, adding texture to walls or whitewashed panels, creating a breezy cottage atmosphere. Wainscoting adds a touch of timeless elegance reminiscent of seaside manors.
Flooring with a Coastal Touch: Light-colored wood flooring is best for coastal design. Opt for weathered finishes that evoke the look of driftwood, or consider whitewashed options for a bright and airy feel. Natural maple tones can also work well, adding warmth and a rustic charm.

6. Incorporate Stripes
Create a balance between narrow and wide stripes. Many coastal rooms incorporate broad blue and white or blue and tan stripes ranging from pale blues to navy. Incorporate narrow stripes for contrast in throw pillows, area rugs, and blankets.
Not a fan of stripes? Other options that add color and pattern, such as gingham and plaid, work well in a coastal-style home. Feature these prints in your choice of artwork, window treatments, accessories, and upholstery.

7. Keep it Airy, Breezy with Light Curtains
Lightweight curtains bring in a relaxed and breezy feel, which is the perfect finishing touch to a coastal decor scheme. They can also help balance the strong tonal contrasts.

8. Take Full Advantage of Lake or Ocean Views
For those lucky enough to boast a breathtaking ocean view, your design inspiration awaits right outside your window. Let the vast canvas of blues, greens, and whites inform your color scheme, creating a seamless flow from the interior to the exterior. The ocean serves as a naturally stunning focal point, so your decor should aim to complement this beauty, not compete with it.
Bringing the Beach Indoors: But fear not if an ocean vista isn’t in your cards! Evoking the coastal vibe is still achievable. Introduce the calming essence of the sea with strategically placed coastal photography or paintings. These visual elements can transport you to a beachfront haven, even if you’re miles away.

9. Soft & Natural Lighting for a Coastal Feel
Lighting and accessories are important elements in creating a modern coastal look. Lighting should be soft and natural, with an abundance of natural light streaming through the windows. Large windows, skylights, and glass doors are great ways to allow natural light to flood into a room.
Sheer curtains or other light-filtering window treatments can also help to create a soft, diffused light that adds to the coastal vibe. Mirrors are another effective way to reflect natural light, making a room feel larger and brighter.

10. Display Beach-Style Artwork
Art and wall decor are essential elements in creating a modern coastal look. Here are a few coastal-inspired art and wall decor ideas to consider:
– Hang a series of beach-inspired prints or photographs.
– Use a large, statement piece of art featuring beach scenes or ocean waves.
– Create a gallery wall featuring a mix of beachy art and photographs.
– Hang a woven tapestry featuring a coastal scene.
– Use a driftwood or seashell wreath as a statement piece on your wall.

11. It’s All in the Details
Nothing conveys the feeling of coastal living quite like an open living room concept with oversized sofas, nautical stripes, coastal decor, sea-inspired accents, and seaside prints.
Consider incorporating beach-inspired elements such as seashells, driftwood, and coral. However, be cautious not to overdo it; you don’t want your home to resemble a beachside souvenir shop. Instead, choose key pieces that evoke the coastal vibe without being too literal.

12. Coastal Entryway Ideas
Designing a coastal entryway can be a fun and exciting project that can make your home stand out. Here are some tips on how to create the perfect coastal Entryway:
- Choose a color scheme that fits the coastal theme. Blues, greens, and sandy neutrals are great choices.
- Incorporate natural materials such as wood, rattan, and seagrass to add texture and depth to the space.
- Use decor that reflects the coastal theme, such as seashells, driftwood, and nautical artwork.
- Add a statement piece, such as a unique light fixture or a bold piece of furniture, to make the space pop.
- Remember lighting! Use soft, ambient lighting to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

13. Coastal Kitchen Ideas
When decorating a coastal kitchen, consider a few key design elements. For cabinets, opt for shades of white, cream, or blue. With white or cream cabinets, a blue range and hood can make a dramatic statement.
Incorporate natural textures, such as woven grass or rattan, into your kitchen decor. Consider using open shelving to display your baskets alongside dishware and cookbooks. Choose light fixtures that evoke the feeling of being near the water, such as lanterns or pendant lights with seagrass shades. Add some plants to bring some of the outdoors inside – succulents and tropical foliage are excellent choices for a coastal kitchen.

15. Coastal Dining Room Ideas
To create a cohesive coastal design in the dining room, consider adding a large and inviting wooden table as the centerpiece. Dining room chairs can be made of solid wood or feature a fabric with a stripe pattern. Linen slipcovers or wicker and rattan work equally well. The goal is to create an artfully curated blend of warm, natural tones with woven textures. Jute or sisal area rugs complement the mix.

18. Natural Light to Flood the Space
Another critical aspect of a coastal home office is the availability of natural light. Position your desk near a window that allows plenty of sunlight to flood the space. This not only creates a bright and welcoming environment but also helps to boost productivity and mood.
Finally, don’t be afraid to add personal touches to your coastal home office. Whether it’s a collection of seashells, a framed beach photograph, or an artwork that evokes the ocean, these subtle touches can go a long way in making your workspace feel like a true sanctuary.

When designing a coastal bathroom, it is essential to remember the essence of the coastal aesthetic. As with other rooms in the home, incorporate natural materials like wood and stone to provide a more organic feel.
Soft, muted colors such as blues, greens, and whites can also help achieve a coastal look and look fabulous in the bathroom. Additionally, add towels, shower curtains, and bathmats in soft hues of blue and white. Overall, a coastal bathroom should be serene and calming, with a focus on natural elements and a color palette that reflects the ocean and beach.

Rattan is a go-to interior accent for a relaxed feel, as it brings natural texture and warmth.

These pieces add a sense of movement and softness to a space and are particularly effective in organic, neutral environments, where their texture provides depth without overwhelming the overall palette.
