Relaxed, unpretentious and welcoming, coastal farmhouse ideas harmoniously combine the best of both aesthetics for a space that’s comforting and carefree. Think natural palettes that blend neutrals with soft, desaturated shades inspired by the outdoors, and a mix of streamlined designs and rustic pieces, both vintage and modern.
Coastal farmhouse style focusses on simplicity, authenticity and functionality: place simple, Shaker-style furniture and utilitarian lighting alongside more tactile elements, like distressed-wood surfaces, woven materials and stubby textiles. If you’re keen to retain coastal interior design style, it’s best to keep accent colors to a lighter palette of soft sea greens, hazy blues and fog grays, as darker or stronger shades could take you further into modern farmhouse territory.
