The Spruce: 39 Coastal Living Rooms That Feel Like a Day at the Beach
Coastal living rooms are decorated to remind the unluckily landlocked of a carefree day at the beach. Airy light, coastal living rooms feature breezy palettes of white, sandy beige, blue, and green that are reminiscent of sandy beaches and ocean waves.
With the use of natural materials like wood and rattan and a focus on maximizing natural light and minimizing clutter, these spaces are naturally suited to waterfront settings. But today’s coastal decor is a crowd-pleasing and ubiquitous style that can work in a variety of spaces.
Check out these coastal-style living rooms for inspiration on how to bring some effortless vacation vibes into your space, whether you live in a new build apartment, a lake house, or a suburban home located miles from an actual beach.
