Create a Coastal Living Space

Utilising coastal styling in your living room is a great way to bring beachy vibes into the heart of your home, even if you're miles away from the ocean. If you're looking for coastal living room ideas and inspiration, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

• Choose a neutral colour palette. Neutral colours like white, beige, and grey are the perfect base for your coastal styling. Use accessories and art to accentuate the beachy look with pops of colour, such as blue, green, and pink, to bring in the colours of the sea and sky.
• Incorporate natural, washed out materials. Wood, wicker, rope, and other natural materials are a great way to create coastal energy and anything with a light washed-out colour and texture is a bonus. Use a wooden coffee table, wicker baskets, or rope-wrapped lamps to bring in the natural elements of the coast.
• Use nautical decor. Decorative accessories and art like starfish, shells, and coral can add a touch of the coast to your living room. These can be great statement pieces for shelves or coffee tables, as well as themes for wall art.
• Add plants. No decor rejuvenation is complete without a few plants. Plants are a great way to bring a touch of nature into your living room so choosing the right plants can really solidify a style. A fiddle leaf fig, any type of palm, and philodendron are all great options for coastal styling and, with KOO's range of artificial plants, you can bring these styles into any climate.
• Choose the right lighting. Lighting is crucial in creating the right ambiance in your living room. Use a mix of natural and artificial light to create a warm and inviting space. Use table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling lights to create a layered look.
• Extend your coastal styling into the kitchen. The kitchen is the perfect place for coastal styling and nautical themed decor. We recommend adding a few coastal plants and bringing in natural materials in your light shades and bar stools.

Whether you're sitting down to watch the sunset or entertaining guests, your living room will be the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the coastal vibe. For open plan homes and those wanting to extend the coastal themes into the kitchen, including some of these coastal kitchen ideas will round up the space and create balance across the home.

Coastal bedspread

Your bed is a statement feature in the bedroom so creating the right beachy and inviting bedspread is important in coastal styling. Start your bedspread with a high quality, neutral sheet set in bamboo, cotton, or linen. Hotel quality sheets are the first step at creating a relaxing bedroom, find the right sheets for you by checking out our bed sheet buying guide.

Coastal styling calls for a white coverlet or quilt cover, depending on your local climate. The key to a chic and modern coastal bedroom is the bedspread, choosing a textured quilt cover or coverlet in white will enhance and elevate the entire look. For those who like a bit more colour, you can opt for a striped quilt cover in neutral tones. Accessorise your bed with a throw and as many cushions as you like, choose a range of blues and natural tones to pull in the beachy look.

Coastal accessories

No room is complete without coastal home decor accessories and when it comes to coastal styling, the accessories are everything. Starting with wall art, the possibilities are endless as coastal styling takes inspiration from nature. Choose art with a beach scape, tropical plants, shells, or anything else that brings the ocean to mind. If you want a more rustic look, old nautical and boating accessories such as small anchors and ropes can be repurposed into wall art. Look for these same themes in your home decor picks, including bookstops, desk accessories, and furniture.

When picking bedroom furniture such as your bedside table or an ottoman, anything with blue and white stripes or wicker will complement the coastal style you're creating. Try to keep your colour scheme consistent in coastal styling by sticking to light and natural tones for rugs, curtains, and other soft furnishings.

Coastal decor is such a fun and soothing way to style a bathroom. When looking for coastal bathroom ideas, start by choosing a colour pallet that is inspired by the beach. Use shades of blue, white and beige to create a serene atmosphere. Adding natural wood tones will help to bring in the warmth and texture of the beach. Bring in the beachy vibes by incorporating shells, star fish, coral to your bathroom.
