Coastal style is an interior look inspired by seaside homes: light, airy and relaxed, with colors and materials taken from beaches and dunes.
Key elements
- Palette: whites, sand and driftwood tones, soft blues and sea-greens.
- Natural, light materials: whitewashed or light oak, linen, cotton, jute and sisal rugs, rattan.
- Lots of daylight: sheer curtains, light walls, mirrors to bounce light.
- Relaxed furniture: slipcovered sofas, wooden dining tables, woven chairs.
Avoiding the clichés
Coastal does not mean anchors, ship wheels and “beach” signs. The modern version is closer to a calm, light-filled home that happens to be near the sea: texture, natural materials and a muted palette do the work. Keep blues soft and use them as accents rather than everywhere.
Coastal sits close to Scandinavian (light, natural) and Mediterranean (sun, plaster, terracotta) styles. In Tigmi, the matching preset is Coastal Breeze.
