Create a Modern Coastal style in your home

Creating a home in a modern coastal style is all about bringing a relaxed, beachy vibe into your space. It's a look that's all about comfort, natural materials, and a nod to nautical living.

Set the scene for your coastal style home

To get started, think about the colors that make you feel like you're at the beach. Think blues, greens, and sandy beige. These colors set the tone for the space and give you a starting point for your decor.

Next, bring in natural materials such as wood, stone, and jute. These textures give your space a warm and inviting feel and also add to the coastal vibe. Consider using natural wood for your flooring, or incorporating a jute rug for added texture.

Home decor

When it comes to the home decor, focus on items that have a natural feel to them. Woven baskets, rope accents, and sea-inspired accents such as starfish or shells are all great options. You can also incorporate natural elements such as plants and flowers, which not only add to the coastal vibe, but also bring a touch of greenery into your space.

It's important to remember that modern coastal style is all about being effortless and relaxed. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and textures, as this adds to the casual feel of the space. And, don't forget to add a touch of whimsy, like a fun piece of wall art or a quirky lamp.

Nautical touches

Finally, it's absolutely key to incorporate just a few nautical touches such as a boat, coral, sea shells or coral motifs. You don't want to introduce clutter so keep your knick knacks to a minimum. You want the fresh, light and natural colours and textures of your furnishing to be the hero and your subtle nods to the sea will be dotted here and there.

Creating a modern coastal home is all about bringing the relaxed, carefree vibe of the beach into your space. With a focus on natural materials, coastal-inspired decor, and a touch of nautical charm, you can create a space that's comfortable, stylish, and most importantly, feels like home.
