True Blue…Riding the Wave of Beach Chic
Coastal décor is hot – and we are seeing more stylish options in this category than ever before. Whether you’re fortunate enough to live near the water or simply want to create a relaxing sanctuary with seaside-inspired appeal, it’s a breeze to master this timeless style with such an abundance of sea-worthy good looks to choose from. In its most polished form, “Beach Chic” style sets a sophisticated tone for any room and is especially glamorous when paired with gleaming nickel. Regatta inspired patterns and nautical cues create an ocean-worthy backdrop.
All shades of blue are trending now. Water based colors such as indigo and turquoise naturally lend themselves to nautical and sea life motifs. Always a classic combination, navy blue looks especially crisp when paired with white. Mineral derived hues create a fresh atmosphere when combined with linen or driftwood grey finishes. Pick up coral or persimmon as a lively accent color to invigorate the space, or try mixing in linen textiles and antique elements to suggest a vintage vibe. When combined with darker wood tones a more masculine undercurrent is established. This classic ocean inspired design carries seamlessly into the fall and looks as just as smart when paired with rich, warm leather as it does with white airy fabrics.
