Creating Coastal Decor Vibes with Hunter Douglas

What is coastal decor? It’s a beach-inspired decor theme that relies on natural light, a color palette that incorporates lots of blue, and natural fabrics and textures. Your goal is to create an interior that feels airy and relaxed like you’re spending a day seaside. We’re no strangers to coastal living at Advanced Window Fashions. The sound of waves and cool sea breezes are part of what makes spending time outdoors so great. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that coastal feel inside, as well? We have some tips to create your own coastal getaway right in your home.

Why We Love It

When you fill your home with a beachy aesthetic, you feel like you’re always on vacation. The calming color palette and natural textures will help you to feel balanced and connected to nature. Better yet is the endless number of ways to customize this style with your choice of sea motifs and accessories.

Creating Your Own Coastal Paradise

As with any popular decor style, there are numerous ways to create a coastal aesthetic in a room or throughout your home. We suggest choosing only a few of the following ideas to avoid ending up with a look that is too busy and overwhelming. Think about what a love for the coast means to you and use that to make your decor decisions.

  1. A palette inspired by the sea itself will make you feel like you’re looking at an actual beach. Your color choices should include shades of white, various tones of blue, beige, pebble gray, and yellow and orange accents to represent the gorgeous sunsets we enjoy. Bring the look to your windows with Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Cellular shades provide insulation to help keep your home’s temperature more comfortable all year without using additional energy. Honeycomb blinds filter light beautifully to provide you with a warming glow without exposing the inside of your home to your neighbors. You can also opt for the Top-Down/Bottom-Up feature to enjoy maximum sunlight and privacy simultaneously.
  2. What better way to mirror the outdoors than with natural fibers and textures? Wood furniture in light finishes give a sun-bleached feel and if you’re bold you can even opt for a bit of a distressed look. Wicker and rattan pieces are excellent for this coastal vibe. Add a couple seagrass baskets to hold shells and move on to your windows. Cotton and linen are both lightweight fabrics that are ideal for a coastal theme. Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery are available in over 250 color and fabric choices with your choice of light-filtering or room-darkening liners. Another easy way to incorporate interesting texture and natural fibers is with Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. Woven wood shades are handcrafted using 100% organic material, like reeds, jute, and grasses for a look that’s unmistakably natural and uniquely yours. Your woven shades will provide exceptional UV protection and filter light gently into your room.
  3. Nobody takes a trip to the beach because they want to feel more stressed out. Aim for casual simplicity with white walls and decorative elements. Again, an abundance of natural light is a cornerstone of coastal aesthetics and sheer shades are an ideal solution. Silhouette® Window Shadings enhance incoming light with S-shaped vanes suspended between sheer panels. The dual panels provide enhanced privacy while the adjustable vanes give you even more flexibility of view-through. Three available vane sizes allow you to complement any size window.
  4. A few other key design components you can use include paintings of your favorite beachscapes, driftwood, seashells, and starfish, and rope accents for a nautical feel. Several varieties of palm tree, including the Yucca Palm, thrive indoors so consider adding one or two to create fun focal points.
