Coastal Design FAQ
What is Coastal interior design?
Coastal interior design is a light, relaxed style inspired by beach homes. It uses white and blue, natural fibers like rattan and jute, weathered wood and plenty of natural light.
How do I make my living room Coastal?
Keep walls white or sandy and let in as much light as possible with sheer curtains. Choose a slipcovered sofa, rattan or wicker accent chairs and a jute rug. Add blue through pillows or art, and favor natural textures over literal beach decor.
Is Coastal the same as Scandinavian?
They share bright rooms and light wood, but coastal adds blues, woven natural fibers and a breezy, beach-house feel. Scandinavian is more neutral and cozy, and was shaped by cold northern climates.
