What Defines Coastal Interiors?
Coastal interiors are about creating a space that feels calm, light, and effortlessly relaxed, like a breath of fresh sea air. Ahhh… This design style draws inspiration from beachside living, with a calming color palette rooted in soft blues, sandy neutrals, crisp whites, and natural textures. Think weathered wood, rattan, linen, and airy fabrics that invite light and movement. While coastal decor leans minimal, it never feels cold or stark. Instead, it’s warm and welcoming. Art choices play a key role in coastal interiors, helping to layer in personality, softness, and a subtle nod to nature. The right framed artwork—especially when paired with light-toned or whitewashed frames—can instantly tie together your space and elevate that breezy coastal feel.

Custom Framing That Complements Coastal Homes
When framing art for coastal interiors, the goal is to enhance that light, airy feel while complementing the natural textures and soft color palette that define the style. Think of it like your very own beach house. Start by choosing frame finishes that echo the beach. Try adding whitewashed wood, light oak, or weathered tones that bring a relaxed, sun-worn vibe to your walls. For matting, stick with soft neutrals like off-white or pale sand to keep things light without feeling stark. If you’re building a gallery wall, consistent spacing between frames helps maintain that breezy, uncluttered look. And for a balanced mix of texture and tone, consider pairing photography with delicate watercolors or simple line art—this blend brings just the right amount of visual interest to a coastal-inspired space.
Five Quick Coastal Decor Tips:
- Choose light, weathered, or whitewashed wood frame finishes
- Keep matting soft—off-white or pale sand tones work well
- Float mounting can give organic or elevated gallery vibes
- Use even spacing for a clean, breezy gallery wall look
- Mix photography with watercolors or line art for depth
