Bring the beach vibe inside: effortless coastal chic for your home January 1, 2019

Begin by setting the mood with a crisp white palette accented with shades of blue, marine green and yellow tones – including art inspired by the ocean.

Woven or knitted accessories and furniture made from organic materials – timber, cane and pieces with a rustic element – will increase the connection with nature. There’s bonus points for the weathered look, including white washed or greying timber.

In addition to house plants with bright green leaves, consider incorporating native bush elements and items foraged from the beach to create a truly unique aesthetic, such as driftwood, stacked stones or vases filled with shells, seagrass, gum nuts, eucalyptus or anything else you happen to find in the great outdoors.

With the coastal style, generally less is more, with emphasis places on comfort, balance and symmetry, however do consider utilising feature pillows, throws and rugs to make a room ‘pop’.
