Coastal
Light, breezy, salt-air simple.
You want the feeling of a good beach day indoors: white walls, soft blues, natural fibers and nothing precious. It's relaxed, bright and built for bare feet.
- Palette
- White, sand, driftwood grey, sea glass, soft denim blue.
- Textures
- Jute, rattan, washed cotton and linen, weathered wood, rope.
- Patterns
- Wide stripes, subtle woven texture, the occasional botanical.
- Lighting
- As much daylight as possible; woven shades and simple white fixtures.
- Objects
- Slipcovered sofa, rattan chairs, big baskets, one piece of ocean art.
Rules to live by
- Keep walls pale so the light bounces.
- Natural fiber on the floor, always.
- Blue is an accent, not a theme — avoid nautical costume.
- Choose fabrics you can actually wash.
- Leave breathing room between pieces.
