There&rsquo;s something so peaceful about&nbsp;coastal cottage decor&nbsp;&mdash; you can&rsquo;t go wrong with&nbsp;natural materials, subtle&nbsp;pops of color, and&nbsp;laid-back&nbsp;design ideas&nbsp;inspired by a tranquil seaside scene.
A beautifully-decorated&nbsp;coastal cottage&nbsp;home begins with a foundation of furniture that you can build upon through accents that express your unique personality and style. You don&rsquo;t need to be a professional&nbsp;interior designer&nbsp;to create photo-worthy looks, either.
This article will cover the basics of&nbsp;coastal cottage decor&nbsp;and some of our favorite looks to help inspire your next home&nbsp;makeover. &ldquo;Shell&rdquo;&nbsp;we begin?
<h2>Coastal cottage decor&nbsp;essentials</h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/sandy-beach-queen-panel-bed-with-high-headboard-white"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-182002" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Sandy-Beach-Queen-Panel-Bed-with-High-Headboard-Cream-White.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Sandy-Beach-Queen-Panel-Bed-with-High-Headboard-Cream-White.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Sandy-Beach-Queen-Panel-Bed-with-High-Headboard-Cream-White-768x547.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Sandy-Beach-Queen-Panel-Bed-with-High-Headboard-Cream-White-600x428.jpg 600w" alt="Coastal cottage decor: Sandy Beach Queen Panel Bed with High Headboard Cream White" width="1200" height="855"></a>
Interior design&nbsp;isn&rsquo;t governed by rigid rules &mdash; it&rsquo;s an art form you can use to express yourself through your living space. Especially with something as fun as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/beach-cottage-decor">beach cottage decor</a>! But like any art form, you can rely on the essential elements of the style you&rsquo;re going for to set the mood.
So before we highlight some of our favorite furniture and spaces, let&rsquo;s look at some key elements you can play with in a&nbsp;coastal cottage&nbsp;makeover&nbsp;to create spaces you love to live in.
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Natural materials:&nbsp;Weathered wood or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/?s=rattan">rattan&nbsp;furniture</a>,&nbsp;wood floors, woven jute rugs, and natural linen or cotton upholstery help capture the nature-first aesthetic in cottage and&nbsp;beach house decor.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Soft&nbsp;color palette:&nbsp;Sandy beiges, warm whites, ocean blues, seafoam greens, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nyiad.edu/design-articles/interior-design/5-fun-neutrals-that-aren-t-beige" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fun neutral colors</a>&nbsp;like soft grays are all commonly found in nature. These options tend to work well in&nbsp;coastal cottage&nbsp;spaces, especially when combined with pops of navy, coral, or&nbsp;aqua&nbsp;as accents.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Textiles:&nbsp;We touched on this a bit in the&nbsp;natural materials&nbsp;section, but&nbsp;textiles&nbsp;made from materials like cotton, linen, and jute work well in&nbsp;coastal cottage&nbsp;spaces. Also, look for casual&nbsp;slipcovers, coastal-themed&nbsp;throw pillows, and striped patterns that combine colors like blue and tan or blue and white to drive home the aesthetic.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Lighting:&nbsp;Coastal cottage decor&nbsp;works well with layered lighting, so you can brighten your space or dim the lights depending on the mood. Lantern-style fixtures, natural light with sheer curtains and strategically placed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/bedroom/lighting-bedroom/floor-lamps-lighting-bedroom">floor lamps</a>&nbsp;help create a versatile space with lighting for every occasion.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Unique decor:&nbsp;The decorative pieces in your home really show off your unique personality and taste, so pick things you love. For example,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMn75Fqw-qA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DIY sea glass art</a>, glass jars filled with beach finds like&nbsp;starfish&nbsp;and&nbsp;seashells, vintage nature photos, rope details, and antiques are all fantastic options to keep on your&nbsp;coffee table, display on the walls, and otherwise accentuate your spaces.</li>
</ul>
You don&rsquo;t need to check every box and add every element in this list to your home &mdash; the trick is to keep these things in mind and use them as guidelines while you decorate your home.
<h2>Coastal cottage decor&nbsp;inspiration: Furniture for every room</h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/asbury-round-glass-top-dining-table-clear-and-natural-teak"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181995" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Asbury-Round-60-inch-Glass-Top-Dining-Table-Teak-Brown.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Asbury-Round-60-inch-Glass-Top-Dining-Table-Teak-Brown.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Asbury-Round-60-inch-Glass-Top-Dining-Table-Teak-Brown-768x591.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Asbury-Round-60-inch-Glass-Top-Dining-Table-Teak-Brown-600x462.jpg 600w" alt="Coastal cottage decor: Asbury Round 60-inch Glass Top Dining Table Teak Brown" width="1200" height="923"></a>
One of the best ways to find combinations of these elements you love is browsing inspiration pics &mdash; it&rsquo;s a tactic professional&nbsp;interior designers&nbsp;use regularly.
In this&nbsp;section, you&rsquo;ll find great inspiration and maybe even some furniture you&rsquo;ll cherish for years. Let&rsquo;s dive in!
<h3>Bedroom</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/franco-4-piece-queen-storage-bedroom-set-antique-white"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181998" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Franco-4-piece-Queen-Storage-Bedroom-Set-Antique-White.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Franco-4-piece-Queen-Storage-Bedroom-Set-Antique-White.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Franco-4-piece-Queen-Storage-Bedroom-Set-Antique-White-768x510.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Franco-4-piece-Queen-Storage-Bedroom-Set-Antique-White-600x399.jpg 600w" alt="Coastal cottage decor: Franco 4-piece Queen Storage Bedroom Set Antique White" width="1200" height="797"></a>
This charming bedroom exudes a relaxed&nbsp;beach cottage&nbsp;appeal with its&nbsp;shiplap-style walls,&nbsp;natural wood&nbsp;ceiling, and dark-toned&nbsp;wood floors. The casual rustic furniture set works well for both&nbsp;beachy&nbsp;and&nbsp;cottage-style&nbsp;interior design, with a wire-brushed finish on each piece and a charming shutter-style headboard on the bed.
The black area rug grounds the room&rsquo;s&nbsp;color palette&nbsp;and adds a modern edge that goes well with the gunmetal drawer pulls and accents around the room.
If you love this space as much as we do, you can recreate the look with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/franco-4-piece-queen-storage-bedroom-set-antique-white">Franco 4-piece Queen Storage Bedroom Set</a>&nbsp;in Antique White.
<h3>Dining room</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/cornelia-7-piece-rectangular-dining-table-set-coastal-grey"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181996" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Cornelia-7-piece-Rectangular-Dining-Table-Set-Coastal-Grey.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Cornelia-7-piece-Rectangular-Dining-Table-Set-Coastal-Grey.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Cornelia-7-piece-Rectangular-Dining-Table-Set-Coastal-Grey-768x541.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Cornelia-7-piece-Rectangular-Dining-Table-Set-Coastal-Grey-600x423.jpg 600w" alt="Coastal cottage decor: Cornelia 7-piece Rectangular Dining Table Set Coastal Grey" width="1200" height="845"></a>
The&nbsp;home decor&nbsp;in this bright and airy&nbsp;dining room&nbsp;gives off relaxed&nbsp;coastal living&nbsp;vibes that are perfect for everything from casual meals to holiday dinners. The farmhouse-style&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/cornelia-7-piece-rectangular-dining-table-set-coastal-grey">Cornelia 7-piece Rectangular Dining Table Set</a>&nbsp;stands out with the&nbsp;driftwood-style Coastal Grey finish, trestle base, and six super-comfy side chairs with thick foam padding.
The&nbsp;beach-style&nbsp;wall art and muted gray area rug help guide the eyes in a sweeping journey across the room, adding cohesion and visual appeal. And the&nbsp;white walls&nbsp;&mdash; a&nbsp;beach house&nbsp;staple &mdash; help all these&nbsp;decor ideas&nbsp;come together into a beautiful symphony.
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/bar-cart"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-182004" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Ventura-2-tier-Bar-Cart-with-Storage-Drawer-Grey-Driftwood.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Ventura-2-tier-Bar-Cart-with-Storage-Drawer-Grey-Driftwood.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Ventura-2-tier-Bar-Cart-with-Storage-Drawer-Grey-Driftwood-768x790.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Ventura-2-tier-Bar-Cart-with-Storage-Drawer-Grey-Driftwood-600x617.jpg 600w" alt="Coastal cottage decor: Ventura 2-tier Bar Cart with Storage Drawer Grey Driftwood" width="1200" height="1234"></a>

<h3>Living room</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/angela-3-piece-entertainment-center-with-67-tv-stand-brown-and-white"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181994" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Angela-3-piece-Entertainment-Center-With-67%E2%80%B3-TV-Stand-Brown-and-White-3.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Angela-3-piece-Entertainment-Center-With-67&Prime;-TV-Stand-Brown-and-White-3.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Angela-3-piece-Entertainment-Center-With-67&Prime;-TV-Stand-Brown-and-White-3-768x477.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Angela-3-piece-Entertainment-Center-With-67&Prime;-TV-Stand-Brown-and-White-3-600x373.jpg 600w" alt="Angela 3-piece Entertainment Center With 67&Prime; TV Stand Brown and White" width="1200" height="746"></a>
Let&rsquo;s face it: The TV tends to be the&nbsp;main&nbsp;focus of almost any&nbsp;living room, so shouldn&rsquo;t your entertainment center also capture your dream design style?
This&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/coastal-living-room">breezy&nbsp;living room</a>&nbsp;nails the&nbsp;coastal cottage style&nbsp;with its navy blue walls,&nbsp;natural wood floors, and contrasting white-framed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/angela-3-piece-entertainment-center-with-67-tv-stand-brown-and-white">Angela 3-piece Entertainment Center</a>. The TV stand can hold up to a 67&Prime; screen and effortlessly combines&nbsp;beach home&nbsp;and rustic vibes into one neat&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/coastal-farmhouse">coastal farmhouse</a>&nbsp;package, complete with ample storage and display space. The&nbsp;seashells&nbsp;on the media towers are just the icing on the cake.
The natural-fiber area rug continues the blue and tan theme in the&nbsp;color palette, showing the power of&nbsp;textiles&nbsp;and a natural&nbsp;color scheme&nbsp;in this high-contrast space.
<h3>Entryway</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/rectangular-storage-trunk-white-washed-and-black"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-182000" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Nilay-Wood-Storage-Trunk-White-Washed-and-Black-1.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Nilay-Wood-Storage-Trunk-White-Washed-and-Black-1.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Nilay-Wood-Storage-Trunk-White-Washed-and-Black-1-768x435.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Nilay-Wood-Storage-Trunk-White-Washed-and-Black-1-600x340.jpg 600w" alt="Nilay Wood Storage Trunk White Washed and Black" width="1200" height="680"></a>
Your home&rsquo;s&nbsp;entryway&nbsp;might be a&nbsp;small space, but it makes a huge impression on guests and sets the tone for anyone who walks through your front door. And it&rsquo;s the most accessible place to start bringing your favorite&nbsp;beach cottage decor ideas&nbsp;to life in your&nbsp;home design.
This&nbsp;entryway&nbsp;features elegant&nbsp;coastal colors&nbsp;and the beautiful&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/rectangular-storage-trunk-white-washed-and-black">Nilay Wood Storage Trunk</a>&nbsp;with a White Washed acacia wood finish. It&rsquo;s the perfect spot to store extra&nbsp;throw pillows,&nbsp;slipcovers, and other&nbsp;textiles, but it&rsquo;d also work well for school supplies, shoes, and winter clothes &mdash; there are endless possibilities!
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/hall-tree-with-6-hook-dark-walnut-and-dark-bronze"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181997" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Francesca-6-Hook-Coat-Rack-Hall-Tree-Shoe-Bench-Dark-Bronze.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Francesca-6-Hook-Coat-Rack-Hall-Tree-Shoe-Bench-Dark-Bronze.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Francesca-6-Hook-Coat-Rack-Hall-Tree-Shoe-Bench-Dark-Bronze-768x878.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Francesca-6-Hook-Coat-Rack-Hall-Tree-Shoe-Bench-Dark-Bronze-600x686.jpg 600w" alt="Francesca 6 Hook Coat Rack Hall Tree Shoe Bench Dark Bronze" width="1200" height="1372"></a>

<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/slater-2-drawer-kitchen-island-with-drop-leaves-brown-and-buttermilk"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-182003" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Slater-2-drawer-Drop-Leaf-Kitchen-Island-Table-Buttermilk.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" srcset="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Slater-2-drawer-Drop-Leaf-Kitchen-Island-Table-Buttermilk.jpg 1200w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Slater-2-drawer-Drop-Leaf-Kitchen-Island-Table-Buttermilk-768x764.jpg 768w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Slater-2-drawer-Drop-Leaf-Kitchen-Island-Table-Buttermilk-600x597.jpg 600w, https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Slater-2-drawer-Drop-Leaf-Kitchen-Island-Table-Buttermilk-100x100.jpg 100w" alt="Slater 2-drawer Drop Leaf Kitchen Island Table Buttermilk" width="1200" height="1193"></a>
Coastal cottage decor&nbsp;combines&nbsp;laid-back, comfy looks with practical elements to create a home you&rsquo;ll love. This&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/slater-2-drawer-kitchen-island-with-drop-leaves-brown-and-buttermilk">Slater 2-drawer Drop Leaf Kitchen Island Table</a>&nbsp;is a fantastic way to add that to your space. It&rsquo;d be a good choice for adding cottage vibes to a&nbsp;coastal home&nbsp;with its creamy buttermilk finish and rich brown countertop.
The wine glass and bottle storage add a traditional aesthetic (plus extra convenience for nights in!) that would also work well for adding a&nbsp;French&nbsp;country style to your&nbsp;coastal decor.
Try placing it under a beautiful&nbsp;pendant light&nbsp;with sheer ivory curtains and plenty of natural light to brighten the space.
<h2>Seas the day!</h2>
