Decorating in Classic Coastal Beach Style
Here in the greater Los Angeles area, many people are lucky enough to have a beachfront home—or perhaps something sort of near the beach. Either way, it can be fun to decorate a home in coastal beach style, to capture the feel of our great ocean and beaches. At F&R Interiors, we have a few tips for how to approach getting that vibe just right for your home—check them out below!
Beach Home Hallmarks
Coastal beach style includes colors and textures that are inspired by water and sand. Décor elements like driftwood, shells, buoys, and fishing nets might lend to the interior vibe, while a color palette from the blue family will evoke the sea. White accents and pops of brilliant color can help draw the eye and give a playful feel to the aesthetic. And because natural sunlight is key to the whole thing, window treatments play a large role. Plus, they can preserve your view, reduce harmful UV rays, and withstand the onslaught of the sun. Below are some great options to use for a beach-inspired décor style.
Faux Wood Shutters
For homes close to the, humidity and moisture can be an issue, especially in the mornings. One way to combat that is by choosing faux wood shutters, which look like genuine wood but are made of durable compounds. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are made to resist moisture, mildew, and UV rays, so they won’t crack, warp, fade, peel, chip, or discolor. Plus, shutters offer the ultimate “beachy” feel.
Woven Wood Shades
Made from natural reeds, woods, grasses, and bamboo, woven wood shades give you a direct connection to nature. They bring texture and visual interest, and they filter sunlight beautifully. A great complement to coastal beach style, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are built to withstand bowing, breaking, and stretching.
Solar Shades
Especially if you have a west-facing home, you might want to block heat and glare. If that’s the case, consider Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades, which are designed for light control and UV ray protection. They can block the sun’s rays, helping to protect furniture and flooring from irrevocable damage. Depending on the openness factor (whether the weave is dense or loose), screen shades can provide a great deal of privacy while also helping to preserve your view.
