Who wouldn't like to have summer all year round? Well, there is a way to bring the magic and the spirit of the ocean into your home, and it's the coastal style decor!
Some time ago we gave you a marine style guide to decorating, but today we want to tell you about the coastal style, too often confused with the actual marine decor.
This guide was written in collaboration with Lucy Savoie-Lawicki, a passionate coastal style blogger that you can find on Instagram as @beachgidget. Lucy gave us all the photos you will see in this article, and we suggest you follow it because among her shots you'll find lots of inspirations for your coastal-chic home!
Furnish in coastal style: sea colors and shabby chic elegance
When we talk about coastal furnishings, we often tend to confuse this style with the actual marine style. Of course, the main element from which we start is always the sea and its colors, but the real difference is that the coastal style is a mix of marine atmospheres and shabby chic elegance.
One of the main elements is the brightness, which must recall that of the houses by the sea. Choose bright furniture or in a neutral palette, therefore, even better if white and if painted with a pickled technique so as to obtain a lived-in trendy effect that recalls that of wood consumed by the sun and salt.
Also the walls must resume the marine colors: paint them in a light color, or in the various shades of blue and aqua green. If instead you prefer the romantic atmosphere of the winter sea, gray will be the perfect choice!
The coastal style kitchen: rustic elegance...overlooking the sea!
Furnishing the kitchen in a coastal style means creating a balanced mix between the atmospheres of the ocean and the details that characterize the country chic atmospheres. Choose carefully the textiles, possibly in white and light blue stripes and with a slightly rough weave.
Create an environment with a rustic charm, but characterized by pastel colors in all shades of blue and blue. As a breakthrough color, pink is an elegant and typically shabby chic solution, an extra note of elegance for your coastal kitchen.
From the beach to the house: the coastal style living room
A living area in coastal style is an oasis of pleasure and relaxation: if you close your eyes you can hear the sound of the sea in the distance and get lost in a restful marine atmosphere. Eye to the colors, as always: a palette that goes from white to blue will be perfect, with beige that will recall the color of sand and will be a warm shade to be used in contrast.
To decorate your living room in coastal style, free your imagination and play with accessories and objects stolen from the beach. Wood, stones, small boats and fishing nets...and if you are looking for some creative ideas, come and read our collection of ideas for decorating a marine-style house, you will find many inspirations that are also valid for a coastal style stay!
The coastal style bathroom: a dip where the water is bluer
How to set up a perfect coastal style toilet? Well, you can take inspiration from the Provencal style contaminating it with the colors of the sea. Choose the bathroom furniture with the utmost care: in our online store you will find a delightful white shabby cabinet with doors, an excellent space-saving solution that will bring a breath of freshness and style to your bathroom.
A coastal toilet perfectly organized also needs the right accessories: some wooden boxes to hold the towels will give the room a rustic and shabby chic touch, while with a few blue glass bottles to be placed on shelves you will get a really wow effect!
Romantic freshness: the coastal chic bedroom
If you want to treat yourself to a coastal bedroom with a refreshing and romantic marine atmosphere, start studying the brightness of the room well to make it even more restful. You can start with bed linen, white as the sea foam with some blue or light blue elements.
Even the furniture is very important to obtain a romantic coastal bedroom: a white pickled bedside table and a chest of drawers in a color palette that recalls the shades of the sea in winter will be a choice of sure effect. To create an environment with even more suffused and restful luminosity, go safe and choose a set of white candle holders from our store, a scenographic solution in full coastal style!
