The word ‘coast’ conjures up a wide variety of images, from urban, city beaches and rugged, windswept cliffs to turquoise waves lapping at palm-lined shores and traditional seaside towns. Wherever you are in the world, there is something uniquely relaxing and inspiring about being on the coast. Little wonder then, that so many people try to recreate that light, airy and fresh feeling in their homes.

Adding a beach vibe to your home can be achieved in a wide variety of ways depending on which version of coastal chic floats your boat.
