5 Gorgeous Beach House Decorating Ideas for 2023 How to Decorate a Coastal Cottage ARTICLE & PHOTOS PROVIDED BY LOOMLAN FURNITURE

Since coastal life differs from place to place, there are actually many different types of coastal interior design styles. There’s the Mediterranean style that makes use of that bold, pop of colors so prevalent in Mediterranean cultures. Then

there’s the tropical style which includes plenty of greenery and foliage. In this article, we’re going to explore 5 different beach house decorating ideas that you can use to design the coastal home of your dreams.

Bright and Beautiful

If you’ve dabbled a bit in studying various interior design styles, you may be aware that colors like white are quite widely used due to how wonderfully well they complement other shades. The coastal style does keep that factor in mind but it is more focused on using colors that help it look bright and radiant. A big part of coastal life is about embracing the radiance each day presents, whether you’re at home or out enjoying the sun. Bright environments tend to somehow improve the mood and that’s probably one of the reasons why the coastal style is considered so refreshing. All in all, it’s a foolproof way to design a happy setting.

Give the Eyes Some Viewing Distance

The one thing that you should keep in mind when you’re decorating beach cottage homes is that these spaces are meant to be open. Regular homes in the city are small, four-walled spaces that box everything and everyone within them. This is great to create a cozy atmosphere but just like the sea, coastal homes are made to invoke a sense of freedom.
