Coastal Living Rooms

Living in a coastal town doesn’t mean you have to be so “on the nose” with your decor. Try to find the balance between luxury and casual. The opposite of a “pretentious” home, without sacrificing luxury. A coastal home should feel light and comfortable. Here are some tips to creating your coastal living room:

1. Ditch the “Beach Life” signs! There are very few occasions where we want to see words hanging on walls in a home.

2. All colors can be “coastal”, not just shades of blue and green. For example, the pictured waterfront home used a very neutral color palate, but it still gives that light and airy, coastal feel!

3. Design accents from nature- use your favorite sea shell or that sand dollar you found the summer you turned 16 to bring a sentimental touch into your space. We don’t need every sea shell your family has collected over the last 3 generations spread out all over the house, but use your favorite pieces as finishing touches.
