Elevate your coastal decor with a patriotic twist using red, white, and blue color schemes. 

Add a touch of nautical-inspired accents to your coastal decor to create a classic Americana vibe. Incorporate elements such as anchor motifs, ship wheels, and sailor knots into your home accessories. Hang a decorative anchor on the wall or place a ship wheel on a shelf to instantly bring a coastal charm to your space. These accents not only add visual interest but also evoke a sense of adventure and maritime heritage.

This deconstructed striped pattern, which is reminiscent of nautical flags, gives this bathroom a powerful punch. You can also create the look with modern striped throw pillows, curtains, or rugs to create a cohesive and stylish look throughout a home.



Natural Textures On Walls

For a touch of nostalgia and charm, look for paintings or prints that depict coastal scenes, such as beach landscapes or sailboats. These types of artworks not only enhance the coastal theme, but also add a timeless aesthetic to your space. You can hang them on the walls or display them on shelves or mantels. Below, Phillip Jeffries natural and textured wallcoverings provide the perfect backdrop for a beach-inspired decor.

For example, pair striped curtains with a wave-patterned rug or mix different striped patterns in your throw pillows. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find the perfect balance. Phillip Jeffries Toile de Sea is a playful print inspired by life under the sea.
