1. Choose a Coastal Color Palette

2. Embrace Natural Textures and Materials

The coastal look thrives on organic textures:

• Furniture: Incorporate rattan, wicker, or weathered wood.
• Décor: Use driftwood, jute, or linen for textiles.
• Flooring: Opt for light hardwood or sisal rugs to ground the design.

These materials evoke the natural environment of the shore while adding textures to your space.
