Refined Coastal

You gravitate towards the  coastal aesthetic which draws inspiration from the colors and textures of the seaside. It features light, airy spaces with a neutral color palette of whites, blues, and sandy tones, as well as natural materials such as wood, jute, and linen, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere of a beachside getaway. It may also incorporates elements like ship ropes, vintage maps, lighthouse accents, and sea life imagery, but be care in not over doing the nautical theme as it can become very cliché.

To achieve this style, one can follow these steps:

1. Choose a light color palette: Use light blues, greens, and sand-colored hues to evoke the feeling of the beach.

2. Incorporate natural materials: such as jute, sisal, or woven grasses on flooring or as accent rugs. Use natural wood finishes on furniture and accessories.

3. Add texture: Use textured fabrics like linen or cotton for upholstery and throw pillows to create a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

4. Use coastal-inspired artwork: Hang coastal-inspired artwork such as beach scenes, lighthouses, or sea life imagery to bring the beach atmosphere into the room. Abstract artwork in light blues and greens are also a great way to add color

5. Create a relaxed seating arrangement: Use comfortable seating options like large sectionals or beachy-style rocking chairs to encourage relaxation.

6. Incorporate nautical accents (in moderation): such as ship ropes, vintage maps, driftwood, and seashells as decorative accents.
