Coastal

Coastal is the look we live inside. Styled from Mount Maunganui, this collection keeps the palette sea-washed and the materials honest: linen, timber, rattan, glass and ceramics in sand and salt tones.

No anchors, no rope-wrapped anything, just the calm a beach house is supposed to feel like. Built for baches, and for bringing the coast back to town.

What is coastal style?
A light, sea-washed way of decorating built on natural materials: linen, timber, rattan, glass and ceramics in sand, chalk and driftwood tones. It is less about beach motifs and more about the calm, bright feeling of a house near the water.

How do I get the coastal look without it feeling like a theme?
Skip the literal seaside symbols and keep the palette and textures instead. One sculptural shell reads as an object; five read as a gift shop. Let washed neutrals, natural weaves and plenty of light do the talking.

What colours work in a coastal home?
Sand, bone, chalk white, driftwood grey and soft sea greens, warmed up with natural timber. Keep contrast gentle and repeat the same few tones through the room.

Does coastal style work away from the beach?
Absolutely. Inland, the same palette simply reads as calm and relaxed. If anything it works harder in town, where the sense of holiday is the whole point.
