Calming Coastal Bedroom Retreat

Calming Coastal Bedroom Retreat, how can one not associate Coastal Design with a tranquil, calming, serene feel.

This is by far one of the most requested designs living in California other than California Casual if you happen to live a little inland or you are not entirely sold on tropical palm designs, rattan and sisal accents. Each to their own:-) However, summer is upon us as we gear up for sunny skies, warm temps, trips to the beach and umbrella cocktail drinks!

So here is a coastal design to get your summer vibes up and running! This is a classic style bedroom with subtle tropical elements using soft accent greens against a neutral color palette of cream and ivory. The traditional style upholstered panel bed, vintage style trunk nightstands and contemporary style barrel chair gives a charming modern flair to this coastal inspired space.

These alternative Nightstand/Dresser options possess a certain distinctive element to them. Personally, I like to use pieces that are not necessarily something you would expect in that they might not necessarily match but have a complementary factor to other pieces, materials or finishes in some way.

Tufted Barrel style chairs add an element of sophistication and luxurious style to a space. Adding a small scale chair like this if you have the space paired with a small accent table and decorative lamp, makes for the perfect corner reading nook.

When searching for the perfect table lamp for your coastal inspired space, consider what coastal style you want to achieve, Classic, Modern, Rustic etc. All lamps have distinctive features to them, nautical, star fish and shells, wood and rope varieties. This design is more classic and refined, therefore choosing something that looked simple, yet slightly embellished created that elegant polished touch.

Accent stools or bedroom bench? Either/or, it really comes down to personal preference and how much space allowances you have at the end of the bed to accommodate. Some form of seating at the end of the bed is a perfect idea to use as a landing space or sit to tie your shoes. These classic bench and stool options are just perfect and stylish too!

Cozy area rugs are a must in a bedroom space especially if you have hard wood flooring! They inherently add warmth and comfort to a space. I love the shag style rugs, something you can really sink your toes into when you first get out of bed.

Adding the all important accents and accessories to a design helps to make a space feel inviting and warm, accent pillows are great for adding a pop of color and are easily changed out if you tire of the colors over time. Table top accessories and decorative accessories are the finishing touches of a design, a way to personalize your space and make it your own.
