Autumn is coming but you are still dreaming of a house by the sea, in a relaxing environment and absolutely chic? The Coastal furnishing style is the one for you!

Inspired by the beach houses of the Mediterranean, such as those of Greece, Italy and Spain, the Coastal style decorates the rooms by giving a strong suggestion of the sea, recalling the salty scent of small ports. Thanks to natural light given by its bright colours, whitewashed wood, black iron or other metals and woven seats, this style of furniture evokes relaxing and positive emotions.

Let's find out what are the key elements of the Coastal furnishing style.

Colors of nature

Due to its simplicity of shapes and colours, the Coastal design is often associated to the Minimalist style. Its main feature is its calm and relaxed atmosphere, which is typical of beach cottages. To recreate it, it will suffice to abound with white and to use the colours and shades of the beach: beige, rust and light grey, which will then be enhanced by the tones of the sky and the sea, recreating a real beach-like look.

Simple lines

To furnish your home in Coastal style, all you have to do is follow the small suggestions shown below and choose the right furniture that evokes the typical lines of this style. VOILè is the bookcase signed Sid & Sign that perfectly reflects this style: inspired by the wind-filled sails and with its slender but at the same time stable structure, it represents a functional yet chic design element that enhances the harmony of the space in which it is located .

References to the themes of the sea

The Coastal style is often confused with the Nautical Style. The latter is instead easily recognizable due to the wide use of blue, especially in its navy-blue shade, the decorative patterns with anchors and the wide use of shells and starfish as decorations. This abundance of elements and bright colours can easily result kitsch./p>

According to the Coastal style, on the other hand, the references to sea themes are much more subtle, resulting in this way much more elegant and minimalist. An example of furnishing inspired by the sea but at the same time very chic is our SAIL desk, whose original metallic structure is inspired by the themes of sailing. The glass top also makes it perfect for this style of furniture: the crystal allows light to pass through the tabletop, making the room even brighter.
