Beach Cottage Decor
The beach cottage look is all about ease. Layer soft, washable fabrics with natural materials and let in as much light as possible.
Build the Look
- Start with a soft, neutral base — whites, sand, and seafoam.
- Layer natural textures: linen, jute, rattan, and driftwood.
- Add coastal accents sparingly — shells, coral, and sea-glass tones.
- Keep windows light and airy with sheer curtains.
- Choose comfortable, slipcovered seating you can live in.
Finishing Touches
- A bowl or tray of collected shells on the coffee table
- Framed coastal art or a pressed sea fan
- A woven basket for throws
- A scented candle in driftwood or sea-salt notes
