Coastal rustic design incorporates the beachy, coastal vibes with a classic farmhouse style. But what does that mean when it comes down to the details and the décor of a home?
Our team at The Carolina Farmhouse has experience marrying these two styles to create homes that feature the coastal rustic design. There are a few décor techniques that we are seeing in coastal rustic designs.
5 professional décor techniques that are incorporated into coastal rustic designs are:
- Mixed Materials: Mixing materials is very common in farmhouse style. A great example of mixing materials is a bedroom with two different nightstands that are painted or stained the same way. This is also a big part of coastal rustic designs as well. Mixing and matching nightstands, end tables, chairs, and more elements play a huge role.
- Blue Tones: The biggest element that separates coastal rustic from just rustics is the blues and greens that create a coastal vibe. Adding blue paints, décor, and furniture pieces can really create a coastal rustic design.
- Stripes: Adding stripes, especially blue and white stripes, into the décor plan is a must. Coastal rustic design brings in a lot of shiplaps, striped pillows, blankets, and more.
- Bright Feeling: In any farmhouse or rustic design, we want to keep the colors bright. The brighter the overall colors are, the larger a space will feel which is the foundation of farmhouse style décor.
- Add Coastal Décor: If you are trying to create a coastal rustic décor, it is important to add coastal décor to really establish the variation between rustic and coast rustic. Don’t be afraid to add some colorful seahorses, starfishes, and seashells.
