Coastal Calm: A Coastal Color Scheme for a Beachy, Airy, and Serene Home Design

Our introductory color palette is coined Coastal Calm and is inspired by the soothing hues of the seaside, this coastal color scheme offers a serene and inviting aesthetic. The color combination is perfect for creating an airy feel and relaxed space that reflects the calming beauty of the coast.

The Hues of Harmony

  2. Sandy Taupe: This neutral, sandy beige color evokes the sandy beaches where seashells are often found. It's a versatile choice for creating a coastal atmosphere, whether you're aiming for a traditional or modern style.
  3. Soft Blue: This soft, muted shade of blue hue evokes the calming mist that rises from the ocean on a cool morning. It's a perfect choice for creating a serene and airy atmosphere in your coastal-themed home.
  4. Mystic Teal: This muted blue color features a hint of green, reminiscent of the smooth, translucent pieces of sea glass found on the shore. It's a versatile color that creates a serene atmosphere and is perfect for a feature or accent wall.
  5. Misty Green: This muted green hue is reminiscent of the moss-covered rocks found along the shoreline. It's a calming and inviting color that adds a touch of nature to your home.

This color combo was been hand picked by our in house interior design professional to bring a cohesive aesthetic to your home. When you purchase the Coastal Calm whole home color palette, you'll get color codes for easy color matching as well as paint selections from popular manufacturers like Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.

How To Use This Coastal Color Palette in Your Home

Integrating the palette can come from the wall color and furniture fabrics to the throw pillows and decorative accents. The key is finding the perfect balance and we walk you through implementing it in your home decor within the color palette package. In the meantime, here are a few helpful hints to help you give your home a beachy color upgrade

Creating A Serene Experience with Coastal Colors

There are a multitude of ways to bring these colors in and we're sharing some of our favorites - no download necessary! Whether you have a farmhouse or modern coastal vibe in your home, these tricks of the trade will help you bring this, or any, coastal palette to life.

 

Paint the Walls, Ceiling, and / or Trim: If you're looking to emphasize a high ceiling or give the illusion of space, there's a paint scheme for that. Check our our color palette package for the guide on how to achieve each look, and while you're there, you'll get guidance on choosing the right paint sheen, which is just as important as selecting the right colors.

Incorporate Textiles: Introduce coastal-inspired patterns and textures through area rugs, throw pillows, and accent throws in the classic color combination of blue and white with a hint of beige - the key is sticking to the color palette hues to make it work holistically throughout your home. In living rooms, we love throw pillows which can bring in texture, pattern, and personality!

Accessorize with Natural Elements: Create a coastal look with coastal elements - think coral, beach sand, driftwood, and even beach rocks or seashells. Bonus if you have a beach house and can curate these items right outside your door! No matter where your home is, the essence of coastal style thrives through natural materiality, objects, and coastal decor. Give this woven rattan tray a try and layer with some of your favorite beach finds.

Bring in the Light: Maximize natural light by using sheer curtains in a light blue hue or blinds in white or neutral color. This will create a bright and airy space that reflects the calming beauty of the coast. Consider using white curtains with a subtle blue pattern or sheer white blinds for a soft and diffused light. We love the Luxe Stripe Linen Curtains from West Elm for this!

Getting Coastal Style with the Perfect Paint Color Palette

It's about finding the perfect color palette to bring the beauty of the ocean and the shore into your home.
