Coastal interior design

Coastal style inspiration

Whitewashed wood, sand-toned linens, and ocean blues - a breezy room that feels like the windows are always open. Coastal design borrows the palette of a sunlit beach: pale sand, driftwood, sky, and ocean. It is not literal nautical kitsch (no ship wheels or anchors required), but a sensibility built around bright light, casual textures, and breathable space. Drawn from the seaside cottages of New England, the Hamptons, and California coast, modern coastal style strips out the heavy nautical iconography that dominated the 90s in favor of a quieter, more sophisticated take.
