ELEGANT COASTAL HOMES CAN BE ANYWHERE

If you want elegant coastal interiors for your home because the beach always evokes your fondest memories, you don’t even have to live near a natural body of water. You can bring in the warm and tranquil setting of the ocean into your home through your choice of colors or patterns in your living room and bedroom. Or through large windows with white and sheer see-through design curtains that sway with the wind at your dining section. The abundance of natural light pouring into your interiors also inspires that beach vibe in you.

YOU INTERPRET YOUR OWN BEACH

But elegant coastal decor mean different things to different folks according to how they perceive their enjoyment of a seaside abode. If you treasure your relaxing vacation in an exotic and isolated Southeast Asian white beach island, you will be biased towards rattan and bamboo and anything that’s weaved. If you want to go Caribbean, vibrancy in colors will be what’s at play in the decors of your bathroom and your guestroom. If you’re wide eyed about the splendors of a Mediterranean villa, go for an elegant interplay of brown and beige which doesn’t look dirty when the sand from the beach sprinkles on them.

But when you talk about elegant coastal style ala Americana, the interiors have an openness to them, airy and clean and light to the eyes, leaning towards the Scandinavian look. Modern, but with an invigorating abundance of sunlight and warmth that can be felt on your cheeks and your shoulders when you lounge around the patio barefoot with a chilled glass of freshly churned orange pulp bits juice in hand.

YOUR DESERT CAN BE YOUR COASTAL HOME

Even if you live in the landlocked Midwest or in the desert plains of the south and there’s no drop of salt water in sight, no one can stop you from designing your own elegant coastal style dwelling.

When you want to execute elegant coastal style into your bedroom, creating the mood is the major consideration. Parlay into it lots of whites and blues, as if the sky, the sand and the cool waters are merging into one. These base colors set you off on a calming and de-stressing mood, as you doze off into a deep slumber. Then play around with secondary colors for your elegant coastal decor items.

Elegant coastal homes are for you to create. Don’t let the lack of a hydrosphere stop you.
