Coastal style is a more elevated take on the escapist fantasy of living in a beach house interior.
It features a limited palette of soft colors inspired by sand and sea, natural materials like weathered wood and rattan,
and works especially well in breezy, light-flooded rooms—ideally, but not exclusively, with a dreamy ocean view.
