Adding Coastal Touches to Your Home & Garden
Create a calming coastal inspired home with a few fresh updates this summer. Whether you have an ocean view or simply love the coastal look, we have a few ways to add a little seaside charm to your home and garden space.
Calming Colours
When we think of beautiful seaside inspired homes, calming sea blues spring to mind as well as neutrals. To create that coastal inspired look, opt for plenty of neutrals with accents of blue. Our Agatha blue spindle back plastic dining chairs are the perfect addition to a wooden dining table like the Priya finished in whitewash oak.
Our Annabelle corner sofa comes in a neutral ivory hue for a calming feel. Add soft furnishings featuring nautical stripes and blue hues such as the Elston cushion cover. Why not add touches of yellow and red if you prefer a slightly more colourful look. These accent colours can be introduced with artwork or accessories.
Natural Materials
Create a coastal style look with natural wooden garden furniture, indoor wooden tables, and chairs as well as rattan pieces. Wooden furniture is timeless, often adds texture and blends effortlessly with any décor.
Our Mabel bench and bar stools offer that coastal charm with a spindle back design, curved edges and oak finish. Opt for the Carter dining set combining a round dining table finished in whitewash oak with beautiful boucle dining chairs.
Natural wooden furniture is ideal for the garden, it’s durable, long lasting, and timeless. The Eaden garden corner sofa set features gorgeous neutral cushions for comfort and rope details, perfect for adding that coastal feel to your outside space. Alternatively, opt for the Hali outdoor rope chairs in natural to elevate a chunky outdoor dining table.
Textures
Introduce warmth and texture to your home with a large area rug like the Atcham in clay. Rugs help to zone the space, particularly if you have an open plan living space.
Natural textures like jute, sea grass and raffia are perfect for creating a coastal look, opt for smaller rugs like the round Heaton rug, ideal for hallways or bedrooms.
Storage baskets offer texture and are ideal for hiding clutter and look stylish in any room. Our set of 4 Eynsford are finished in a neutral tone, perfect for toys, tech and keys.
Soft textures such as boucle and even blue velvet can work well, our Cleo fluted chairs feature a curved edge with a shell-like fluted finish.
Accessories
Accessories are the fun part, especially with a trend or theme like coastal. Use decorative coastal themed pieces to bring your shelves to life, such as boat décor, rope details, blue vases plus shell and coral ornaments. Decorate your walls with seaside inspired large wall art or a collection of quirky or vintage prints and opt for chunky wooden mirrors like our beautiful Langton.
A jute lamp like the Konduru table lamp adds another layer of natural texture and creates warm and soft lighting, to a hallway console or living room corner.
Style your garden with outdoor lanterns and garden ornaments such as outdoor candles with coastal scents or rustic driftwood décor.
Bring in colour with ocean blues with cushion covers and throw blankets, which work for both indoor and outdoor sofas.
