Let’s start with the biggest piece in the room. You’ve got to have a comfortable sofa! Thankfully that doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish as well. I love the classic clean lines of the neutral sofa.

These accent chairs are seriously cool! The woven rattan chair with its sexy shape definitely makes a statement. I love the modern lines and natural wood and the design of each of these chairs make them so interesting. Pieces that are casual yet have an elegant feel are always a winner in my book.

For your coffee table, choose something out of the ordinary! Adding texture gives a coastal feel without overdoing it on the beach theme. A table with an unusual shape or material will create an interesting spot for your friends to gather around.

Anchor your space with a rug. Sometimes the rug will be your focal point. In this case, the coastal inspired rug provides a subtle background for the furnishings and help soften the look and feel of the room. Remember to always choose the largest rug that will work in your space.

Pillows are my favorite way to change the look of a room with minimal effort and cost. They add so much life and personality! I love the different patterns and colors.

You can never have too many lamps! Mix it up with different heights and styles to keep things interesting. I love the textures and colors of these lighting options.

The coastal style has evolved over the years- you can achieve the relaxed feel of your perfect vacation spot without going in the direction of seashells, mermaids, and palm trees 🙂 Contemporary coastal design is one of my favorite styles- it combines the coziness of farmhouse, the clean lines of modern, and beautiful options for your color palette. You can go with the calm cool colors of the sea or choose bolder accents to make a statement. All in all it’s a unique look that I can’t get enough of!
