It’s only natural that we love the coastal look in Aotearoa. Use colour to bring the beach indoors at your place without a shell, anchor or piece of driftwood in sight.
HERITAGE BLUE
This blue and white bedroom has a classic coastal vibe evoked mainly through colour and texture. Linen is key to this look, as are blue stripes, which carry subtle nautical associations. The bed has been dressed casually in a classic striped blue linen duvet cover and pillowcases, with blue linen scatter cushions, white, fringed and textured euro pillowcases and a linen throw to make it feel relaxed and inviting. A jute braided rug and mirror add some contrasting texture and natural colours, while soft, floaty linen curtains let air and light filter into the room and block out the bright coastal sun. White shutters are another classic option.
Walls & floor
A tongue-and-groove wall effect is a simple way to add an instant coastal update. Not only does this texture bring extra visual interest, it also elongates a space so it appears taller. Sanded and oiled, whitewashed or white-painted floorboards are another great way to create a coastal look with your existing surfaces. There are also plenty of great vinyl options available that will mimic this look if you’re working within a budget.
