Coastal interior design and decor aren’t new; the style has been around for ages, but it appears that a big seaside revival is in the works, and its popularity could soon exceed that of the trendy farmhouse style. We’re seeing interior design and decor becoming lighter and more relaxed, with softer colors drawing inspiration from the sun, sea, and sky. Water-inspired hues are combined with warm and neutral tones, like brown, gray, and blush, to create an aesthetic that evokes a sense of calm, relaxation, and ease that seaside living brings to life on the coast.  

Coastal aesthetics combine the earth tones of the seaside landscape, natural textures like rattan and jute, wood elem
ents, and thoughtfully layered blues and greens with classic design elements to create truly timeless designs. Whether you draw your seaside design inspiration from the rocky shores of New England’s coast, the dunes and salt marshes of the southeastern coast,  the sugar-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, or the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, coastal design style, with its chic, modest, and relaxing ambiance, will stand the test of time. 

When it comes to surfacing for your coastal-style home, Crossville Studios has you covered with gorgeous ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone tiles in the sand-, sea-, and sky-inspired hues.
