‘Coastal’ is by far one of the fastest growing home decorating trends, and for good reason. It reminds us of holidays spent at the beach relaxing, and provides a tranquil home haven to escape the daily grind.
There are three distinct coastal styles. ‘Cottage coastal’ is defined by relaxation and comfort: timber surfaces, raw fibres, nautical décor, natural light, warm white and ocean hues. ‘Tropical coastal’ includes cane furniture, indoor palms, bright floral fabrics and tribal art. ‘Mediterranean coastal’ emulates Greece, Spain and Italy with cool whites, bold blues, terracotta, black iron and metal trim.
