Find Your Style: Coastal

This is the second installment of the Find Your Style series and today we would light to highlight the coastal style. This light and breezy design style is all about relaxation. Natural fibers, ocean-inspired art, and painted woods come together to create soft color palettes and beach retreats. You may think you already know exactly what coastal style is all about, but did you know that there are different categories of coastal styles? We will take a look at three and show you the differences between the beaches and share some of our favorite furnishings and accessories that fit within the theme.

Coastal Style

	Atlantic Coastal When you think of Atlantic Seaboard style, the word “nautical” should come to mind. This bold style uses a navy, red, and white color palette to pay homage to the coast. Anchors are a common graphic within this style, as are bold stripes and color blocking. When you are looking for a coastal style with a brighter, preppier look, this is the style you are after.
	California Coastal When the west coast is your shore of choice, California Coastal might just be the design style for you. Both European and Asian Influences have taken hold in this style, which is identified with rich woods in dark finishes and comfortable fabrics in muted tones. Sea foam greens and light blues soften up the richness of the stained wood elements.
	Tropical Island Coastal We have gone east and west, now we travel to our third and final coast, the gulf. Southern influences and a relaxed nature bring us wicker and rattan furniture and colors a little bit more vibrant in nature. This is also the coastal style that likes to introduce some more modern flair, such as art deco influences and graphic shapes.
