Known for its cool and relaxed aesthetic, coastal design describes a laid-back lifestyle. Its key characteristics are a neutral color palette, textured details, pops of blue, and a light and airy atmosphere that’s as relaxing as a day at the beach. It’s all about radiating calm energy spaces and inviting you to sit and linger.

Whether you live near the beach or in the middle of a city with no coastal area, there are ways to transform your living room into beach style. These spaces are full of nautical cushions, blue accents, and natural materials. Enjoy this timeless style with coastal living room ideas.

Use natural materials to bring texture and muted colors to your living room. A round wooden coffee table and a braided jute rug create a calming backdrop for patterned swivel chairs and navy blue sectionals.

Create a lively feel for your living room and make it more comfortable with a rug. Use a natural jute or sisal rug as a base layer and cover it with a textured, colored, or patterned rug to create a contrast. Please make sure the bottom rug is about a foot larger than the top so that it is enough to make the layers distinct.

Transform your living room into something more casual with unexpected upholstery. Denim conveys a relaxed beach vibe and pairs beautifully with soft white walls and light wood accents. Instead of art, hang a collection of surfboards for beach-inspired wall decor.

Create a layered, comfortable, and casual look by arranging cushions of various sizes, colors, and patterns on your living room sofa. Pair solid cushions with small and large patterned cushions for a relaxed and lively feel that will make your sofa more attractive.
