Coastal Chic Accents & Interiors
With summer just about here, I'm filled with thoughts of warm, sandy beaches and fresh ocean air. I love, love the beach and am grateful to live in California, just 10 minutes away from Laguna. My dream is to live in a beach house where friends and family can drop by anytime to kick up their feet and relax, including all of you of course! All of the rooms in today's post are exactly what I envision a beach house to be - a color palette of fresh blue, turquoise and white...accents of seashells and glass mixed with textured rattan, sisal and linen...a combination of dark and light woods - need I say more?! What do you love most about this style?

These pics are divine! This coastal, laid-back style is my absolute favourite, even though I live more in the Aussie bush than the beach. But who cares, if I don't have the beach outside my window, I'll bring it inside with my furniture and accessories. Great post! K xx
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, let me say how envious I am of you for living there! We went to Newport Beach for April vacation & I kept asking my husband why we do not live here! The weather, the palm trees, the ocean, fashion island, etc., etc.! (there is the small problem of no job out there.. hee hee)! I love, love, love this post. Love every single image and everything in them! xo
ReplyDeleteI love the frame of this amazing picture you dream about, which is the ocean. This frame is always changing its colors. Dark blue, soft sometimes, deep green, turquoise...So delicate your dream. Thank you for the lovely post. Bela.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to love about this style of decorating.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the artichoke base of the white lamp!!

It is so silly, but I live right near the beach, yet my home couldn't be less 'beach-cottagey'! Ironic?
ReplyDeleteI do love the style and that first dining room with the chandelier is just beautiful.. the colours are all so restful and fresh, but with sea shells, I am a fan of 'less is more' if you know what I mean?

These spaces are fantastic, I love the great oil painting and the Farmtable Beach Dining Room!! Thanks for inspiring!! Best, Connie
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I just love coral.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at this post! I am dreaming staying on the beach for a few days!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally digging that mermaid bookend and all those aqua sea colors. And of course those sea shells, love!

It was a nice surprise to see our Coral Chandelier in photo 10, looks beautiful against the blue shades! This chandelier is a best seller along with the coral sconces to match! Thanks!

I love coastal chic! Especially love the chandelier!
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful and I'm envious of you being by the beach in summer - it's cold and wintry here in Sydney now!
ReplyDeleteWow - this style is just so lovely and chic. I am especially loving the vase fillers (have been looking for something like this for *ages*), and the glass lamps, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this style. And Laguna looks like such a pretty place ;)))
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday :)

This is a beautiful post - definitely a cool refreshing read on a hot Dallas morning. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks so fresh!! Love the combination of the colors blue and turquoise, thinking about adding some accents in my home!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous collection. Have to say, that coral pillow from Pottery Barn is quite nice... being a custom gal that can be tough to say but there is just no denying some of the things they do so well with.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Coastal AHHHH on this dreary day here in MA!!
