Embracing Coastal Design In A Landlocked State

With the ocean being multiple states away, and the Ozark not quite capturing the same vibe, there aren't a lot of ways to bring the beach home.

But what if there were?

Coastal design is not a new phenomenon by any means, but it doesn't need to be exclusive to coastal cities. With some smart and savvy interior designing, you can bring the lovely aesthetic of the beach to your home no matter where you are.

What Is Coastal Design

Coastal-style interior design is all about creating a relaxed and casual atmosphere that captures the essence of coastal living. This style is inspired by the beach, ocean, and nature, with a focus on natural materials, soft colors, and comfortable furnishings. Here are some key aspects of coastal-style interior design:

  • Natural Materials: Coastal-style interiors often feature natural materials such as wood, wicker, and rattan. These materials bring warmth and texture to the space, while also creating a connection to the natural environment.
  • Soft Colors: Coastal-style interiors typically feature soft and soothing colors such as blues, greens, and whites. These colors evoke the feeling of the ocean and create a calming and refreshing atmosphere. Accents of coral, sand, and seafoam can also be used to add interest and depth to the space.
  • Comfortable Furnishings: Coastal-style interiors are all about comfort and relaxation. Furnishings should be comfortable and inviting, with soft fabrics and plush cushions. Slipcovered sofas and chairs are a popular choice, as they are both comfortable and easy to clean.
  • Nautical Accents: Nautical accents such as ropes, anchors, and shells can be used to add a touch of whimsy and personality to the space. These accents can be incorporated through artwork, decorative accessories, and even furniture pieces such as coffee tables or lamps.

Coastal Style Window Treatments

Window treatments offer great ways to bring coastal style into your home. When choosing the right window treatment for your room, there are a few things that you'll need to consider:

  • What type of window do I have? A bay window or an arched top? How much natural light does this room receive?
  • What is the purpose of my room (bedroom, dining room)? Will it be used during the day or evening hours mostly?
  • What color scheme should I incorporate into my design plan? Do I want bright colors or muted tones for my windows?
The obvious best window treatment style for most coastal homes is Hunter Douglas® Woven Shades— they offer the perfect assortment of colors and cuts to complement the coastal style you're curating.
 
If woven woods aren't your style, a nice fabric Roman shade is an excellent choice. The linen options work well with the style as a whole, and they have a wide range of colors. Blues, greens, and whites are must-haves for any coastal decor.
