All About The Coastal Decor Theme
As the name suggests, the coastal decor theme is all about that “by the beach” look, with light and airy colours and materials inspired by life on the coast.
When your home is decorated with a coastal theme, you always feel like you’re on vacation.
Whether your home is on a lake, by the ocean, or nowhere near a body of water, coastal paint colours and matching decor are the only things you need to make your home look and feel like a beach house.
What Defines A Coastal Design Style?
The coastal theme is characterized by its focus on the natural shoreside vibe and easy-breezy feeling. This is created with themed decor and coastal paint colours, like blues and beiges, reflecting the contrast between the sand and shore.
Other than colours, the coastal design is defined by decor. It’s not always nautical. In fact, there are many different ways to get this seaside vibe. You can opt for seashells instead, palm trees, and other beachy elements that match the style you’re looking for.
Different Kinds of Coastal Themes
Again, there are several versions of the coastal theme, so everyone can find something they love. Here are some of the different ways to take a coastal theme.
Traditional Coastal
The traditional coastal style is the true and classic coastal decor theme. Some key features of this theme focus are light-coloured woods, beachy textures, like ropes and wicker, and lots of ocean-inspired decor. On top of that, it’s all about colours.

Nautical
The nautical version of the coastal theme is all about seafaring life. This style heavily emphasizes boats and other sailing-inspired decor, such as anchors, sailboats, lots of rope, and metallic elements.

Modern Coastal
Modern coastal design is a minimalist style that mainly focuses on colour. Classic coastal elements are omitted, making room for minimalistic elements like the absence of patterns and prints, open spaces, and bright lighting.

Rustic Coastal
Rustic coastal, also known as lake house style, blends the cozy comfort of rustic with a few traditional coastal elements, like rope and wicker textures. You’ll see darker woods, cozy fabrics in gingham or plaid prints, and much earthier colours than the typical coastal palette.
Here are some go-to rustic coastal colours:
Tropical Beach House
Tropical coastal is the most vibrant and fun coastal decor theme. This is where you can really have some fun with colour while also incorporating some classic coastal elements like light-coloured wood and airy textures. But, instead of a seaside vibe, this is all about that tropical ocean-jungle look with plant prints and bright colours.
