Dreaming of the beaches of Bali or walking in the sands of Cancun? Vacationing in beach resorts or near the ocean view really makes one uplifted with calm reservation. The flowing sea breeze and the hot air leaves many yearning to live in an oceanfront home. Coastal-inspired home design targets that fixation. One can achieve the feeling of living near the ocean by accommodating these certain changes in their home specifically inspired by the sea.
Ocean Home Mag shared three tips on how you can steal that sea-inspired design for your home.
1. Choosing your focus
Which part of your home that needs most of the repair or the upgrade? Although you want to incorporate the coastal feel in your home, this on the other hand doesn't mean not being "smart." Find out first which section in your house needs the most attention and stay away from splurging renovations on the part that needs less upgrade. It could be the kitchen, the bathroom, your bedroom, or even the living room.
If in case there is no area in the house that needs a special upgrade, the outlet recommends the kitchen as the prominent choice to coordinate the Coastal-inspired design. Another perfect choice for the renovation is the bathroom. These two areas reflect the coastal theme easier than the other parts of the house.
2. Letting the Light In
Let the sunshine in! One thing that is undeniable if you're living near the ocean is the abundance of sunlight. One way you can pull this off in your home is through big windows and ranch sliders.
Find the best spot to place this, the article suggests "Decks and patios can make lovely coastal themed areas. Natural materials with a slightly weather beaten look are terrific in terms of a beach feel. Railways sleepers work well as imitation breakers. Large boulders and pebbles look fantastic. Having a water feature such as a fountain, pond or pool all add to that holiday home by the sea magic."
3. Keep it Clean and Simple
Coastal-inspired home palettes usually plays around white, navy blue, dark blue, and light blue. These play well if you keep that area free from so much clutter and make limited items only visible. Apart from this, unpolished wood or furniture pieces in natural varnish helps complete this interior design.
