TIMELESS DECOR STAPLE
Coastal Decor
Coastal decor draws inspiration from the shore—think light-filled rooms, breezy fabrics, and natural materials that reflect the relaxed rhythm of coastal living.
Common Characteristics
Light, Airy Materials
Linen, driftwood, jute, and rattan are all staples in Coastal interiors. Lighting often includes open-weave pendants, ceramic bases, or fixtures with a sandy texture.
Sun-Washed Palettes
Soft blues, seafoam greens, and sandy whites create a serene, beach-inspired feel. Decorative hardware in brushed nickel or weathered brass enhances the relaxed look.
Casual, Easygoing Layouts
Coastal spaces are breezy and unfussy—open furniture arrangements, slipcovered seating, and plenty of natural light. Even the lighting and hardware feel laid-back but purposeful.
Our Take On The Style
“Coastal style resonates because it feels like an exhale. We love its clean color palettes, weathered textures, and airy materials. It’s perfect for anyone craving a calm, sun-soaked escape—no matter where they live.”
— The Amerelle Design Team
Where You’ll See Coastal Style
Coastal style may be rooted in seaside living, but it’s far from one-note—and you’ll find its influence in homes across the country. Along the Northeastern coast, it leans traditional and tailored: think shiplap walls, navy-and-white palettes, and brass or polished nickel accents that nod to classic New England prep.
The West Coast version is more relaxed and design-forward, with sun-bleached woods, sandy neutrals, and a minimalist approach that blends seamlessly into open-concept, indoor-outdoor living.
In the Midwest, Coastal often takes inspiration from lake houses—cozying things up with rustic textures, soft plaids, and boat-house blues that still feel airy and approachable.
Along the Gulf Coast, you’ll see a breezier, more casual take: light linens, wicker and rattan, and driftwood-inspired tones that reflect the slower pace of southern coastal life. No matter the region, Coastal style brings in natural textures, open space, and a calming palette—proof that you don’t need an ocean view to channel the feel of a salt-kissed breeze.
