10 Things to Add a Coastal Living Touch to Your Interior

10 Things to Add a Coastal Living Touch to Your Interior

I’ve always been fascinated by coastal living, especially in the north. I like the kind of moody feeling the landscape induces. Abrupt cliffs, huge waves crashing onto it, and almost no plant growing there. Doesn’t seem very friendly at first but it’s only a facade. When you watch more closely, you discover a world of beautifully authentic and welcoming territories. I relate to this northern coastal living aesthetic. It’s full of character and strength.

 

Coastal living adapted to home decor

So how do you translate it in terms of home decor? Using a majority of natural materials like washed woods, stone, handmade ceramics is a good start. White walls are also highly “coastal friendly” as well as natural fabrics like linen, lambswool or sheepskin. On the other hand be careful of not overdoing it in the accessories department. Indigo items such as cushions or dishes with an occasional seaside symbolic item will be more than enough to stay on theme. I searched the web for those rare objects that are not too attached to the marine universe but still that evoke long walk on northern beaches.

Rest assured that each of these finds is made of high-quality products and designed by very talented artisans or designers.
