Incorporating Coastal Interior Design into Your Space

Coastal interior design uses natural materials and the colors of the sea to create an enticing celebration of the ocean and its coastline. It creates a soothing and welcoming environment, ideal for some R&R after a long day.

Selecting a Coastal Color Palette for Your Interior Design

As you consider the sea, you’ll notice a lot of blues, greens, whites, and tans. Most homeowners lean toward blues and tans for their coastal design but include some white, gray, aqua, and sea green for accent shades.

Some ways to use these colors include:

  • Trying color drenching: This technique involves painting all the walls in your home one shade, including the ceiling.
  • Using two similar shades: Use one for the walls and ceilings and the other for trim, cabinetry, and doors.
  • Following a theme: Keep your walls neutral and add an accent wall in paint or wallpaper, which can also introduce texture.

Types of Coastal Shades and Blinds for Your Home

Finding the right coastal blinds, shades, and shutters can add to the feel of your home. Wood and other natural materials are a solid choice, and shades and shutters work well because they invite natural light, a key element of coastal design.

Here are a few excellent Hunter Douglas options to consider:

  • Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: These shutters are moisture, mildew, mold, and water resistant and come in three shades of white.
  • Designer Roller Shades: For coastal shades that are easy to use, choose roller shades. They add a subtle design in a neutral color, a bolder blue or green.
  • Provenance® Woven Wood Shades: Handwoven from bamboo, grass, and other natural materials, woven shades provide light-filtering coverage that’s relaxing and in keeping with the spirit of coastal interior design.
  • EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds: These coastal blinds comprise a durable, moisture-resistant wood composite in several stain colors that complement your coastal interior design style.

Find Top-Notch Décor for Your Coastal Interior Design

The type of decor you select allows you to personalize your coastal design. Focus on natural materials for furniture and area rugs, including bamboo, jute, rattan, and wicker. Decorative shells, sea glass, or driftwood can add eye-catching details, color, style, and personality.

Greenery is another relaxing addition that enhances the coastal aesthetic. For artwork, consider themes like:

  • Sea creatures.
  • Seascapes.
  •  Boats.
