5 Coastal Decor Tips for Custom Homes on the Coast
Your trusted Atlanta custom home builders are expanding to the coast! We fell in love with the beautiful Lowcountry and marshland 30 years ago and just couldn’t get enough — that’s why we are growing our operations to serve coastal Georgia and South Carolina in early 2021!
There’s just something so charming about lifestyle on the southeastern coast and continuing that charm into your new coastal Georgia and South Carolina custom home might be just what you need to make all your beachy lifestyle dreams come true. In honor of our coastal expansion, check out these 5 ways to incorporate the coastal style into your new luxury custom home from Eco Custom Homes Coastal!
Let the Sun Do the Work
The sun is one of our favorite home decor tools to use in almost any home — and there’s no exception for the coastal style. But using natural light in your coastal style is especially important because it is a home style that embraces light and airy aesthetics. Show off the natural beauty of your coastal custom home by opting for sheer ivory curtains or plenty of accent mirrors to amplify the sun’s glow!
Make a Statement with Bold FIbers
Textures speak volumes in a coastal home! From rugs to couches and everything in between, the coastal style embraces natural fibers that make a bold statement. Since most coastal homes use neutrals as a foundation for walls or floors, bold fibers are a great way to add a spin of personality to a blank slate. Coastal style is all about the natural, so go for more nature-inspired fabrics, like jute or seagrass, for your fiber accents.
A Coastal Essential: Natural Wood is a Must
Nothing says coastal decor like a driftwood centerpiece or a jute rug, and that’s because the coastal lifestyle is all about bringing the beach indoors! Natural wood is a great way to emphasize nature while incorporating durable options into your home as well. From natural wood bar stools to a reclaimed wood dining table, natural wood is a beautiful choice to partner the casualness of the coast with the reliability of essential furniture.
Less is More: Let’s Talk About Color
Color is a great way to set the tone of a home and the colors of the coast should create a feeling of carefree relaxation. So using light, airy neutrals throughout your home can help to not only create a blank slate for all the fun decor that comes with the coastal style but also help to create a relaxing atmosphere. Less is more when it comes to coastal color, so think about using neutrals as a foundation, then choose one of two lighter blue or green hues for accent pieces. We’re always fans of neutral walls because they give you so much room to show of all your coastal decor pieces!
Beachy, Not Boring: Bring Nature Indoors
Speaking of decor pieces, why not use the beautiful nature of coastal Georgia and South Carolina inside your custom home, too! Making your home feel connected to the outdoors is a great way to embrace that coastal lifestyle. Try adding some potted plants to your kitchen island, using a jar of seashells on your coffee table, or snagging some moss off the trees to use as centerpieces for candles. We love stepping outside on the coast and feeling surrounded by pure natural bliss — so why not feel that way when you walk into your new custom home, too!
