Colour: For a clean and cool look, an all-white palette is a great place to start. Try combining different shades and tones of white, from creams to bright whites. From there, you can start adding in natural fabrics and textures, such as rattan, bamboo, and cottons. Splashes of colour can be brought in through accent pieces, such as cushions, area rugs, or sea glass decor and dishes. White or light coloured floors will also lend your space that beachy vibe, and give you a fresh backdrop to throw your splashes of colour at.

Furniture: On trend furniture choices include chunky, curvy pieces, as well as wood furniture, bringing more of the outdoors in. To keep the bright and airy feel, choose light timber pieces over heavy, dark wood tones. Think driftwood, cane, or rattan! Refreshing your photo frames to light wood and creating a photo wall is a great way to make a wall or hallway fell like an accent wall without having to reach for the paint tin.

Texture: If you have a green thumb, consider creating a living wall or indoor garden space. Adding this design element is a fantastic way to create a peaceful and natural living space. Even if you’re not great with plants, there are lots of low maintenance options, or you can add in some fake greenery to create the same feel without the hassle! Natural art pieces fit well with all of these trends, such as macrame, bamboo, seagrass, and wall tapestries.

You don’t have to be a designer to stay on trend. Think bright and airy, think natural colours and fibres, and most of all, keep it simple and uncluttered. Creating the coastal home of your dreams is about what makes you feel happy and comfortable, so trust your eye!
