Coastal furniture is a style that has been around for decades, but it is becoming increasingly popular. This style is perfect for those who love the ocean, the beach, and all things coastal. It is a style that combines elements of the sea and the beach with traditional furniture design to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Coastal and Beach House Furniture

Coastal furniture is all about using natural materials such as wood, wicker, and rattan to create pieces that blend well with the coastal environment. The aim is to create an environment that is calm, relaxing and peaceful for both visitors and homeowners.

According to the founder of Coastal Living Magazine, “Coastal style is all about embracing a relaxed, carefree way of life, one that is informed by the ocean and its surroundings.” Coastal furniture is not just for homes near the coast. It can be adapted to any environment, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

This type of furniture is often characterized by its light colors, such as whites, blues, and greens. Sea-inspired motifs and themes are also commonly incorporated into this style. Picture frames that are shaped like seashells, coral prints on cushions, and subtle beach-themed artwork are all commonplace in coastal homes. However, it is important to keep in mind that too much of these motifs can be overwhelming and detract from the overall vibe.

What is Coastal Furniture?

Furniture in a coastal home should be mixed and matched in different styles and textures to bring about the relaxed informal look synonymous of coastal living. Mix painted white and grey furniture with naturall willow and driftwood pieces

Coastal furniture is a stunning look where the possibilities are endless... quick suggestions to complete the style are white bedsides in the bedroom, a white storage seat with plump cushions in the hallway and driftwood coloured pieces throughout. Beach and coastal furniture generally has a rustic finish to give the relaxed beach feel. On your walk along the beach collect pebbles in different shades and sizes and gather together in glass vase. Keep a look out for interesting pieces of driftwood on your travels and use as a display piece. Tongue and groove on walls, either horizontally or vertically gives the beach hut or New England Cladding effect.

One of the benefits of this style is that it can be versatile. It can range from a very modern twist, to a more traditional look that fits in with any décor. Depending on the pieces chosen, it can be chic and sophisticated or whimsical and playful.
