Coastal decor ideas


20 ways to introduce shoreside colors and textures |

(Image credit: Future)

Coastal decor ideas draw on the colors of sea and shore, littoral textures, and the landscape and architecture of waterside locations, whether on the east or west coast – or more distant shores. 

Think the blues and grays of sea and sky, fresh white, gentle neutrals, and bewitching greens, along with pops of red, navy, and yellow. And add in tactile weathered woods, woven materials and natural fabrics.

Whether it evokes classic Cape Cod house style, a sophisticated beachside vibe, or a more boho look, coastal decor can make interiors feel fresh, open and connected to nature and it’s a great look for any room as well as for outdoor spaces like decks and patios.

Coastal decor ideas: the fundamentals

'The color palette in a coastal-style home is foundational to achieving the look and feel you want to create,' says interior designer Courtney Wollersheim, from FLOOR360 . 

'Start with warm gray, beige, white and ivory as your foundational colors and add a healthy dose of cozy blue and dusty green accents. The overall effect is sunny, soothing, light, and airy.

'Flooring options include hardwood or hardwood-look luxury vinyl plank in a light shade or whitewashed finish of white oak or with visible textured grain.

'Juxtapose smooth lines in couches, chairs, tables and finishes, with chunky textures in baskets and rope or rattan accents.'

From stormy waters to calm seas, golden sands to gray shingle, this is how to create your coastal decor ideas.

1. Keep it bright and breezy with light curtains

Bringing softness and a relaxed, breezy feel, living room curtains in lightweight floaty fabrics are the perfect finishing touch to a coastal decor scheme, plus they can help balance the strong tonal contrasts, too.

'Rare is the coastal home that isn't flooded with light and airiness... it's all about evoking that breezy lifestyle,' says Corine Maggio, interior designer and founder of CM Natural Designs . 'In this room the drapery offers a softening of the otherwise high contrast elements in the space and ties in the light ocean blue of the rug.' 

Although it looks like a solid color, 'up close you'd see that it's actually a thin stripe, which offers a necessary subtle texture since the other large elements, the sofa and chair are solid', she adds. 

2. Don't forget the little details

Decorating with blue and white, and fitting horizontal wood paneling, makes a great foundation for a coastal living room, but don't forget about the details – light fixtures, accessories and wall decor can all contribute to the look.

In this space seascape artwork and wall lights reminiscent of naval ships both add to the nautical feel, while the gold frame and metalwork also help bring a touch of warmth to the room. Lining vintage bottles along high living room shelving is a great nautical detail which helps lead the eye upwards.

However, be careful to avoid clichéd coastal accents, warns interior designer Allison Babcock . 'Instead choose accessories that have a timeless coastal feel,' she advises. 'While a bathroom with seashell tiles or a living room full of anchors may quickly feel dated, keeping accents simple and natural, like driftwood, seaglass, and stone, means it will never go out of style.'

These are also good rules to follow when looking to add decor to your coastal kitchen ideas.

3. Create a space to drift away

If you're after a soothing seaside sanctuary then decorating with white is the perfect base. Not only do the white walls in this space ensure a calming feel, they also help focus attention on the beautiful whitewashed ceiling beams which are a beautiful characterful feature. 

When it comes to finishes, to add to the coastal feel, 'look towards using natural materials such as wood against a backdrop of crisp whites and blues’, says Sam Hood, co-founder and chief creative officer of Amara . 'If you don’t like the look of natural woods, whitewashed furniture is a good substitute. '

4. Embrace natural materials

When creating a coastal interior, 'the focus should always be drawing the outside in,' says Allison Babcock, and with its wealth of natural materials, the interior of her Nantucket coastal holiday home does just that. 

In this open-plan space, a pair of rope armchairs combine with a chunky wood side table and woven coffee table bring warmth and appealing texture to the cool and breezy living room area, while cane bar chairs and wooden open shelves keep the natural materials running through to the kitchen area.

When it comes to complementary hues, 'create a color palette that reflects the coastal nature of the space, whether that's injecting oceanic blues with sandy tans or accenting stormy slate gray with natural linen', says Allison.

5. Create a nautical feature wall

Decorating with art is an easy way to introduce a coastal feel, and there are so many inspiring ideas to explore other than traditional seascape paintings. This beautiful series school of koi sculpture brings elegance and movement to this simple dining room and really pops against the navy wallpaper, which features gentle texture reminiscent of shimmering water. 

'The fish art pieces were sourced during the client’s travels. The client knew she wanted to incorporate them into the space but needed a clear vision on how to execute it,' says Stephanie Lindsey, principal interior designer at Etch Design Group . 'As a backdrop for a display of koi fish art, the navy textured wallpaper creates the final element of color.'

6. Paint a kitchen island sea blue

If you can't head to a tropical island, bring the clear blue waters to the island in your kitchen – it's a simple but effective take on blue kitchen ideas. 

This decor of this villa, designed by Humbert & Poyet , is informed by its location in Cannes, in the South of France. Inspired by the Mediterranean, a blue color palette can be seen throughout the interiors, even here in the kitchen, where it highlights the rosewood cabinets.

The open spaces allow for a natural flow of light, creating a fluid connection between indoors and out.

The key to coastal living room ideas is creating a light and airy space with light tones and neutral textures for a relaxed feel, then adding accents of bolder color to create lively focal points. Leah Keggi, founder of independent art studio CoastL Studio , explains.

'You can achieve this by focusing 70 per cent of your color (walls, furniture, focal patterns) in a room on lighter blues and neutrals that mimic the color of the ocean and beach. Then add in 20 per cent of greens and greenery, and 10 per cent of smaller decor and patterned pieces featuring richer pinks, corals, or navy.'

Here, weathered walls, natural linen and driftwood furniture and accessories create a backdrop for deep blue accent fabrics.

8. Dive into deep blue in the dining room

Don't be scared to take the plunge with deeper nautical tones of navy and inky ocean hues when it comes to blue dining room ideas. This strong palette sits beautifully in an entertaining space where it creates a sense of enclosure and intimacy that works for both day and night.

For a fresh, coastal feel, add in elements of white and cream to lift the scheme. Here, light voile drapes, and whitewashed furniture keep the look beachy.

9. Use shiplap for a seaside look

Wooden panelling ideas can transform the look of a room, and are a common feature of coastal interiors.

'We love to use shiplap in our coastal decor ideas because of the nautical feel it gives,' says Owner/Designer Anissa Swanzy, of SKD Studios in Newport Beach. 'Don't just consider neutral tones; we've painted shiplap navy for a client in a beachfront apartment.

You can defy expectations in other ways, too. Here, the green sofa swerves the usual coastal blue and white palette, but with the nautical pendant light, shiplap and rush lamp, the look puts a new spin on the typical beach look.

10.

Add nautical motifs

Nautical wallpaper and seafaring motifs give a maritime makeover to the usual mud room ideas and make this space perfect for a coastal home.

An entrance space like one, designed by Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions , sets the tone for a home, so the blue and white color scheme with accents of red is just right. To finish, a porthole-shaped mirror hung from a rope, complemented by a striped rug and coordinating towels, create a playful, uplifting space.

11. Bring in some stripes

(Image credit: Humbert & Poyet / Francis Amiand)

For an elegant, subdued take on coastal decor ideas, introduce typical design motifs in an unexpected way. It might be a twist on the usual coastal color palette, or a reinterpretation of pattern and texture, like this velvet headboard in sea-glass green, created by Humbert & Poyet for a villa in Cannes.

'Striped patterns are a nautical staple but bring these in subtly – for example, in cushion covers or delicately striped curtains,' suggests Connor Prestwood, interior designer at home decor brand Dowsing & Reynolds .

'Light blues, whites and hints of yellow are go-to colors for coastal, as they remind us of the beach and the ocean and naturally have a calming effect on us.'

12. Create a transitional space

(Image credit: Humbert & Poyet / Francis Amiand)

Coastal-inspired deck ideas are a chance to create a visual bridge between a beach setting (or coastal garden planting scheme) and your home. 

On this terrace, designed by Humbert & Poyet, the clear blue couch and tiled floor bring a look of the sea and turn this transitional space into another coastal setting.

13. Give coastal decor a contemporary edge

(Image credit: Humbert & Poyet / Francis Amiand)

Your coastal decor ideas can be as simple as using a color palette inspired by sea and shore, without any obvious nautical references.

'I love coastal designs that emulate the coastal lifestyle and feeling without having a literal interpretation of the coast. So I say, skip the seashell, beach and under-the-water-themed decor and elevate the look,' explains Andra DelMonico and I'm the Lead Interior Designer for Trendey .

'If you do happen to like these motifs, use them sparingly. Focus on selecting a color palette that reflects the type of coastal living you want to emulate. The colors you choose will look very different for a nautical northeastern theme and a southern/Caribbean tropical theme. You can’t go wrong with a white, blue, and neutral combination. 

'Accent the space with natural materials, like teak, acacia, cedar, or redwood.'

14. Create a painterly look

(Image credit: Future)

The sea and coastal landscapes have inspired generations of artists, so why not use a painterly approach as a canvas for your coastal decor ideas?

Watercolor bedding, wave-patterned wallpaper and artworks with an ocean theme all contribute to this artistic interpretation of the coastal look.

Add in weathered wood furniture and panelling to ground this airy, romantic look.

15. Source some sea shells

While too many seaside accessories and trinkets can overwhelm a room, a few carefully chosen accessories can introduce the coastal theme in an elegant way.

Decorate with replica resin shells and coral, or display beachcomber finds such as pebbles, sea glass and shells in glass jars for a subtle coastal decor idea.

Keeping the palette muted will maintain curated look.

16. Add in coastal decoration

(Image credit: Amy Leferink Interior Impressions)

Browse coastal markets and antiques stores for interesting decorative finds. 

'Furnishings in coastal rooms often have a nautical feel, with rope accents, seashells, and other beach-inspired details. Decorative approaches can vary from room to room, but often include elements like wicker baskets, driftwood sculptures, and seascape paintings,' says Lily Wili, Founder of Ever Wallpaper .

In this hallway, designed by Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions, rowing oars provide a graphic nautical display that is complemented by the stripes of the rug and  upholstered seat.

17. Decorate a deck

(Image credit: Future)

All the principles to the coastal decor ideas you bring inside the house, also apply outside on a deck or terrace. In fact, coastal garden ideas will work, just as indoors, even if you don't live at the coast.

'When it comes to coastal decorating schemes, colors play a huge role,' confirms Jen Stark Founder of Happy DIY Home . Think light green and blue hues, bleached whites, and sandy beige tones to mimic the sand and sea look. You can also consider incorporating driftwood browns and grays, beach pebble gray, dune grass green, and the colors you find in seashells. For vibrant hints of color, add orange or yellow to mimic the sun, and the bold reds of umbrellas or shore flowers.'

It's also essential that you narrow down to relaxed simplicity – especially in an outdoor living space. 

'Materials and furnishes that can take wear and tear are key,' says Jen. 'Consider adding streamlined, simple furniture alongside distressed and weathered pieces. Using outdoor fabrics in your rugs or on your cushions is another viable option.'

Ensure, too, that the space feels authentic by incorporating coastal plants.

18. Perk up your planters

(Image credit: House of Dome)

Use a seashore-inspired color palette to transform simple containers. Boardwalk brown, sandy yellow and sea blue bring the beachscape to your balcony or garden.

For added authenticity, plant them with coastal plants – not only will these suit your coastal decor ideas and scheme, if you are situated by the sea, they will withstand salty air and harsh sea breezes, too.

19. Use art as a coastal accent

(Image credit: Cox & Cox)

Interior designers often use an artwork as the basis for a room's color scheme, whether they pick out a single shade or incorporate the entire palette from the picture. This approach works particularly well when you're refining your coastal decor ideas, as you can use the image as your guide. 

'You might choose a seascape of predominantly blue and gray tones, with white crests on the waves. Or look for beach scene that incorporates sea, sand, shore and even people and houses, for a more colorful palette,' suggests Andréa Childs, editor of Country Homes & Interiors.

20. Bring coastal decor into a bathroom – subtly

(Image credit: Future)

A bathroom is the perfect space for coastal decor, but you can overdo it, ending up with a space that looks themed. 'I love the approach taken in the bathroom, above,' says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief of Homes & Gardens. 'Red, white and blue is always elegant and smart, and if there is the merest hint of a seaside motif, you can get away with what is quite a traditional approach.'

How do you decorate with a coastal theme?

To decorate with a coastal theme, consider color, materials, and the atmosphere of the space. 

'To me, coastal decor is all about lifestyle, texture, neutrals and variations of blue,’ says interior designer Corine Maggio. ‘Stripes, boats and bird motifs are also classic coastal motifs. A coastal style can be playful or sophisticated but with either variation you'll find overlapping ideas applied in different ways.' 

'Coastal design has been around for centuries, largely because it was the manner in which people decorated their waterfront or seaside homes,' explains Amy Leferink, founder and principal designer of Interior Impressions .  

'This design aesthetic began very much as a product of the environment when in a beach or lake house. For instance, pulling from the landscape surrounding the home to inform the interior color scheme, or using the natural materials and items, including rope, raffia, or woven materials, that are usually found nearby coastal lands. 

'Over time this look has evolved to be less literal, and more an overall interpretation subject to the designer or homeowner and how they choose to bring the outside in, regardless of the home being situated in a coastal location. 

'It is meant to evoke a feeling of being near the water; bringing the relaxation, ease, and casual vibe of waterside living to everyday life.'

What is modern coastal decor?

'Modern coastal decor has no need to place shells and "beachy" things around to create a coastal inspired space,' says Connor Prestwood, interior designer at home decor brand Dowsing & Reynolds .

'Stick to lighter, neutral colors to keep the space fresh and relaxed. Then incorporate earthy textures like linen and rustic wood finishes to add interest and give your eyes places to naturally land around the space.' 

What colors should I use for my coastal decor ideas?

'When you are wanting to decorate your space in a coastal design, color is key,' says Zara O’Hare, interior design consultant at Land of Rugs .

'In terms of the main colors for the space, you need to be using creams, blues and whites but you can also use green if done smartly. Think of the colors you see when you visit the coast – these colors should be key in your home! 

'You might pair cream sofas and rugs with blue statement walls. The green in your space can also be added with plants to your space.'

Coastal Decor & Interior Design Guide

While Nautical Decor captures the adventurous spirit of the high seas, coastal decor is all about capturing the serenity of the shore and simplicity of the laid-back beach lifestyle. This short guide lays down the coastal decor and coastal design basics followed by 7 coastal interior design ideas to help you create beautiful coastal inspired rooms that feature what you love most about the coast. 

Image:11 Neutral Coastal Living Room Decor Ideas


Sea, sand, sun, salty breezes, shore birds, and treasures washed ashore are just a few of the things we love about the coast, along with feelings of relaxation, ease and fun, as well as a deep sense of spacious beingness. It is no surprise that coastal decor and coastal interior design have become so popular. And as you will see, the coast and the sea can be represented in a variety of ways. In general coastal style means light and breezy rooms, bathed in white, blues and natural tones to create a calm and relaxed space. Coastal design and aesthetic can be specific, such as Beach Cottage Style, Vintage Style or Modern Style. And coastal design also takes different forms depending on region. Examples are New England Style (often with a Nautical Flair), Nantucket Cottage Style, Hamptons Style, Florida Style, including Key West and Palm Beach, Tropical Island Style in general, Bohemian Style, Coastal Americana and Mediterranean Style.


Create a home that captures what you love most about the coast.


1. Coastal Colors

Sun bleached whites, light blue and green hues of the sea, and sandy beige tones are the main coastal colors. Other beautiful serene colors to incorporate into your coastal decor theme are dune grass greens, beach pebble grays, driftwood grays & browns, and all the colors you find in shells. For some pops of vibrant colors, think of the beautiful yellow and orange sun light at dawn and dusk, the colors of shore flowers, as well as all the beach umbrellas that brim with bright fun colors. Turn to the Shore for Room Color Schemes -Nature's color combinations are always perfect.

2. Space over Things

Stepping out onto the beach and looking over the sea one instantly feels a sense of space and ease.

To bring this open and expansive feeling to the home, keep your rooms breezy and uncluttered. Arrange furnishings in a fashion that maintains an overall vista, and go easy on accessorizing. Make your house feel as though a gentle ocean breeze could flow through it.

3. Relaxed Simplicity

Relaxed simplicity is the way of the beach. You want the space to be comfortable and casual, whether your home decor style is elegant, eclectic cottage style, or something in between. The coastal aesthetic of relaxed simplicity can be achieve no matter what your coastal decor style is. Furnishings and materials that can take a little wear and tear are good choices. Simple streamlined wood furniture pieces as well as weathered and distressed furniture pieces are all easy going. You might even want to consider using outdoor fabrics and rugs inside the home.

4. Natural Fibers & Textures

Use natural materials that mimic nature by the sea. Cottons and linens feel simple and breezy; woods, jute, sisal, and natural woven materials all read very coastal. Think of palms, pines, driftwood and dune grasses. Some woven materials are made from actual seagrass. For example, a natural woven jute or Sisal Rug is a great choice for an all white coastal palette in the living room or in the bedroom, adding needed earthiness and texture to the space. You can always top the rug with a smaller soft carpet for added comfort, in case you don't like how the texture feels.

20 ideas for the design, decor and decoration of the kitchen in the style of "coastal". Part #1

Coastal style décor recreates the laid-back atmosphere of unburdened life by the sea, a sense of relaxation and serenity. The image of such a kitchen combines marine colors such as aquamarine, shades of blue and white. Wooden or tile flooring mimics the deck of a ship, the boardwalk on the beach, or the floor of a beach house. Light curtains, swaying in the wind, evoke associations with the sea breeze. Furniture for this style is made from wicker, rattan, aged wood, or timber that resembles ship beams.

Update the interior of your kitchen!

Possible wall decorations include painting, wood lapped panels, tiling or themed wallpapers. The use of ropes, fishing or rope nets in the decor will enhance the impression of a house on the coast. The decor may include seascapes, images of sea birds and other inhabitants of the sea, life on the beach, as well as shells, starfish, driftwood, lighthouse figurines and nautical instruments. Using clear or blue-tinted glass will remind you of water. By reflecting light, it will make the room brighter.

KITCHEN IN BLUE AND WHITE WITH PLANK FLOORS

Due to their lightness and airiness, coastal-style kitchens visually appear larger. The easiest way to achieve this is to repaint the usual brown wood cabinets white, which will also give the kitchen a more modern look. Add aquamarine/navy blue accents, delicate curtains, a glass-topped table and a few themed decorative pieces and your kitchen will be transformed.


EASILY TURNS... INTO A COASTERN KITCHEN

With white cabinets, changing the style of your kitchen from farmhouse to coastal is so easy that you can keep one style for fall and winter and the other for spring and summer. This kitchen with aged wood benches needs only certain types of curtains and appropriately themed worktops and walls to alternate styles.

KITCHEN: ADDING ACCENTS WITH COLOR

Use your chosen color wisely to accentuate the interior of your kitchen. In this example, the top board of the bench and the door were painted blue-grey. The gray color is also repeated on the worktop and on the side of the refrigerator. This shade unifies the look of the entire kitchen into one look.

THINK OF ACCENTS IN UNEXPECTED PLACES

In this kitchen, blue is used to accentuate the top of the central table and the "apron" above the stove. Choosing this color for the countertop helps to visually break up the large clump of white that would otherwise make the room look dull and too "sterile" (lifeless). Using it in a backdrop above the stove helps draw attention to other parts of the kitchen.

TWO-COLOR FURNITURE WILL DIVERSIFY THE KITCHEN LOOK

If you want to create a coastal style, but do not want all the furniture to be white, you can take this idea into service. Paint the floor cabinets blue and the wall cabinets white, like in this kitchen. Thanks to this approach, the ceilings will appear higher. The use of chalk paint ("water-based" with the addition of plaster) will give the cabinets a slightly aged and somewhat ordinary look that fits well with the coastal style.

THE BEAUTY AND VERSATILITY OF WHITE CABINETS

White cabinets can be the basis for a variety of modern decor styles. All you need to add a few touches to create a coastline atmosphere is to add a wooden shelf with a starfish like in this kitchen. If you don't live by the sea, wander around a lake or walk along a river and try to find some water polished items that match the style - or just visit a home decor specialty store. But do not overdo it when decorating the kitchen: the room should remain light and airy.

and the airy atmosphere of the coast. This kitchen is well lit, we see light countertops and lots of glass, including in the doors of hanging cabinets. To heighten the effect, cabinets can be treated with stain.

COASTAL STYLE DECOR AS PART OF KITCHEN INTERIOR DECORATION

The example of decorating the space above this plank cabinet shows how small items can be used to create a coastal style decor. The main element here is a mirror, framed by pieces of a tree washed ashore by the sea. Shells, starfish or knotted rope could also be placed around the mirror. On the cabinet itself there is a figure of a whale, a ball wound from a rope and a candlestick in the form of a flask with shells.

MIXING FARM AND COASTAL STYLES IN YOUR KITCHEN

This photo shows (although it doesn't cover all the details of the kitchen that I would like to point out) how close farmhouse and coastal style interiors are. Aged cabinetry and a white plank table backdrop the look, while blue acts as an accent throughout the kitchen. The curtains are decorated with tropical motifs, and the basket, bowls and cutting board are made from the appropriate type of wood. And the finishing touch is a wooden whale above the window.

DECORATION WITH FINDS FROM THE BEACH

As we noted above, coastal decor can be inexpensive if you use items found along the coast. You can place them in specific locations throughout the kitchen, or use them to create unique wall or table/counter arrangements. Using thin string, you can recreate the decor element shown in the photo, and hot glue will help you make items such as the mirror frame in one of the previous examples.

With these design elements and furnishing details, you can transform your kitchen in coastal style, thereby transforming its appearance. What it takes, and how easy or difficult it will be, depends on how your kitchen is currently decorated...

Part #1 of 08/25/2020: Ideas for the design, decor and decoration of the kitchen in the style of "coastal"

CAPIZ SHELL CHANDELIER WITH SHELL ITEMS FOR YOUR COASTAL STYLE KITCHEN

This chandelier will look fresh and elegant over your kitchen table. The clam shells from which the pendants are made are valued for their transparency and durability, so they can easily replace glass pendants. The size of the chandelier is about 30 cm in diameter and 40 cm in height, it comes with a cord of various lengths. It is easy to assemble and fasten, can be connected via a rheostat to control the brightness of the light and is designed for a 60W lamp.

DARK BLUE LINEN KITCHEN TOWEL

This dark blue towel is both decorative and functional. Hang it in a convenient place to dry your hands. Stack a few of these towels on your kitchen counter to use as oven mitts. Place one under a large bowl or basket in the center of the table. Soft, durable, 100% linen, machine washable.

BLUE WOODEN CRAB WALL DECORATION

This crab (available in two colors - blue and dark blue - and various sizes) has holes in the claws for easy attachment. The decoration has undergone artificial aging. To give it individuality, some text can be applied on top.

FRAMED METAL FORK AND SPOON

This handcrafted fork and spoon has a slightly tarnished appearance - these items will darken further with time. They are fixed on an artificially aged board, painted with white chalk paint. Thanks to the thick frame, etched with black stain, this decorative element looks more voluminous. You can not only put it on a shelf, but also hang it on the wall.

PLANK WALL DECOR

With an artificially shabby look, this piece of furniture depicts the ocean view captured on wooden boards, thus gaining a second life. We see a sandy beach leading into the ocean and small waves crashing onto the shore. The color of the ocean changes from light blue to dark blue, where it is replaced by the blue color of the sky. On the left, the letters make up the word "BEACH" - "BEACH".

BEACH LIFE WOODEN SIGN

This horizontal sign features a funny little blue fish and says "beach life", one word on each side of the design. A pine board is used as a base. Such a sign, approximately 60 by 8 cm in size, can be placed on a desktop / bar counter or hung on a wall. It can also hang from the ceiling. This sign seems to say: "the kitchen is a stress-free zone."

NATURAL TEXTURE FOR COASTAL OR FARM STYLE INTERIORS

Such a solid handmade walkway (which, by the way, can be used on both sides) will not be superfluous in the interior if you want to alternately use both styles - coastal and farm - for different seasons of the year. It generally goes well with many decorating styles. The track is made of natural jute and is available in various sizes. It is pleasant to step on it, as it is soft. Such a path will give the kitchen an interesting texture.

STAR STAR WINDOW DECORATION

Decorate your window in a coastal style using only curtains and a matching pelmet. The print consists of patterns depicting a starfish and a shell in blue or coral. This set is made from 100% canvas. It can be machine washed in cold water (use gentle wash) and tumble dried.

BLUE KITCHEN RUGS WITH WHITE SEA LIFE PATTERNS

These two kitchen rugs feature fish and algae sketches interspersed with starfish and shells. They are white on a dark blue background. Along the border of each long edge are lines in the form of a pattern of strokes and dots. The mats are made from 100% microfiber with a non-slip latex rubber backing. They quickly absorb water. You can also wash them in the machine.

BEACH HOUSE SIGN WITH STAR

This sign is an element of pure coastal style. An aged board covered with blue paint was used as a base. The inscription is made in brown paint. To recreate the feeling of the beach, a starfish is attached to the board. Such a sign can be hung from the ceiling, hung on the wall or placed on the kitchen work table / bar counter.
