Coastal Living – How to Perfect Coastal Décor in Your Home

Create a beachside retreat in the comfort of your own space with our top tips.

27th May 2025

Bring the seaside a little closer to home this Summer, thanks to our coastal décor ideas.

This season’s take on coastal living is more sophisticated than ever, and we’re here to help you get it right. Being by the seaside evokes calmness, serenity, and makes us feel at ease. This is exactly how your home should make you feel. Sophisticated yet fun and inviting, coastal décor is here to awaken your interiors. Breezy palettes, rugged textures, and playful prints all make the style truly special. Plus, the theme works in various spaces, such as living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas. Dive right in below.

Use Colours Inspired by Coastal Landscapes

Look to the sea, sand, and sky for inspiration when choosing your palette.

Blue is central to the theme. Any variation works, from delicate sky blues to the deepest cobalt. Start with a neutral backdrop of bright whites and sandy tones. Layer up cushions in shades of denimseafoam, and turquoise. Add in richer navy hues for warmth. Use rust or terracotta for an unexpected, contemporary twist. Rich earth tones look beautiful when layered with more delicate shades of blue too.

Stripes Invite the Seaside Straight Into Your Home

Nothing says coastal quite like the iconic stripe.

We love mixing different weights for depth, as our head of design, Marie explains. “Start off with a classic blue stripe for that nautical feel. Display this on your cushions or throws to introduce the style. Elsewhere in the room, use a sophisticated pin stripe for your curtain fabric. Utilising a thicker, bold stripe for upholstery fabric creates a cosy, restful space. Remember to stick to a palette of three or four colourways. Focus on cobaltssky blues, and seafoam greens.”

Add a Playful Feel with Typical Coastal Prints

Of course, stripes are not the only pattern you should use in your scheme.

Use designs featuring seashellscoral, and nautical creatures. These make themselves at home in bathrooms and kitchens. Textured weaves and embroideries pair well with prints. These add those much-needed elements of texture in your scheme. Select delicate fabrics, such as cottons and sheer designs for your plains. These are all perfect for creating that breezy ocean feel.

Create a Holiday Feel at Your Window Space

Let light pour in with breezy curtain and blind fabrics.

Jersey Collection, Blanco Collection

Use a light and airy curtain fabric, such as a sheer or voile, which create a gentle glow of daylight. Layer these with a thicker curtain if you need to control light or heat levels, such as in a bedroom. Alternatively, combine with a blind. Choose 100% cotton designs for blind fabric and curtains, as they are light and breathable. Eco prints are also ideal for spaces that are both inspired by, and mindful of, nature.

Complete Your Space with Coastal Textures and Accessories

Add in hints of the style around the room with charming accessories and finishes.

Layering textures is essential for a relaxed, beachy feel. Choose woven accessories such as rattan pendants, jute rugs, and wicker baskets. Weathered wood furniture gives that beautifully imperfect look, too. Use glass vases or even repurpose leftover bottles to present greenery in. Anchor that seaside feel through your choice of house plants. Add in towering palm leaves and foliage. Complete your look with ornaments of seashells or coral.
