Inspired by summer days at the beach, gentle waves and fresh sea air - the coastal interior trend has a calming influence on you and your home.

Coastal is all about the beach; it's about using plenty of natural light and soft tones to create that ultimate waterside vibe. To create an inviting and organic space, try incorporating blended blues, whites and soft greys with natural, limewashed materials. Then, with the addition of some delightful nautical themed wallpaper and accessories, you're well on your way to your dream beach house escape.

Team bold artwork and photos with sun-bleached, tattered and distressed wood frames. It's a subtle effect, but the muted frame styles help to accentuate the bolder colours, creating an interesting coastal vibe. Try framing a nautical note or postcards and maps for a truly authentic look. But remember not to go overboard! Keep it feeling easy and natural.

"Aged, worn and distressed, or chalky, matt and rough – furnishings with these qualities are an integral part of the look"

"Try keeping the walls neutral and then introduce the colour through accessories"

Get The Look

Colours

Subtle, cool and warm neutrals pair with ice cream inspired shades to create a beautiful summer feeling.

Blue, white and sandy shades make up most of these schemes, but you can inject bolder hues like turquoise and red to make things more interesting.

Textures & Patterns

Use a mixture of soft neutral fabrics, discovered objects and distressed white frames for a contemporary take on traditional coastal living. Other accessories with an organic feel like wicker baskets, cotton bedlinen and straw hats will complete this seashore style.

Art Styles

There's a never-ending collection of art, photography and beach themed wall decor available online and in coastal art galleries. Our favourites are nautical maps, beach photography and paintings that feature the theme's colours. In addition to this, you can frame personal memories, like photos from family holidays in Cornwall or postcards collected on your travels.

Maps

From personalised maps featuring your favourite coastline and beautiful illustrations of the Dorset coastline to vintage shipping maps, adding a framed map to your coastal themed room adds a real talking point.

Beach Photography

Take yourself on a nostalgic journey of past holidays (no doubt featuring beach huts, deck chairs and donkey rides) by printing and framing your photographs. Alternatively, there are some simply stunning professional beach-themed photographs to buy online.

Paintings

Seascapes, abstract art and tranquil watercolours that capture the quintessential charm of British seaside towns all have their place here. These paintings are perfect for encouraging peaceful contemplation and go most of the way to completing the coastal look you've always wanted. Also, watch out for fantastic artists who specialise in beach-themed pieces, like Hannah Cole.
