Creating a coastal style oasis

Coastal styling continues to have its moment in the sun. This popular, timeless, styling direction reflects the relaxed and breezy feel of coastal living. Whether you live near the coast or inland, you can create a coastal-inspired oasis within your home.

Coastal styling incorporates hues of blue and sandy beige, with a heavy reliance on natural elements such as wood and jute and nautical themed accessories. However, the coastal mood is evolving, with a variety of takes on this styling direction.

Our coastal styling approaches

Crave’s experienced stylists share insights into six different approaches to coastal styling.

1.  Nautical

Drawing inspiration from nautical elements and maritime traditions. Focus on navy blue and white and accessories such as anchors, ropes, and boat-related decor.

2. Beach Culture

Leaning more into the lifestyle associated with the coast, through beach-themed decor, such as seashells, driftwood, and beach artwork.

3. Cottage Chic

Incorporates cottage or shabby chic direction, emphasising a comfortable aesthetic. Opt for distressed furniture, soft colour palettes, and vintage or repurpose items.

4. Tropical

Leaning into the Caribbean, this includes using vibrant, warm colours, lush greenery, and items like rattan or wicker furniture.

5. Hamptons

Upscale coastal, as influenced by the Hamptons in New York, emphasises elegant, timeless design with a coastal soft blue, cream and white colour palette.

6. Scandinavian Simplicity

Scandi is also starting to appear in coastal styling. Scandinavian coastal styling is known for its simplicity and functionality – think clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a focus on natural materials.
