Try A Maryland Coastal Style with Vinyl Shutters
Coastal interior design is a laid back yet chic style that gives your home a unique aesthetic without being pretentious. Depending on your style, coastal interior design can range from high-end to cozy and comfy. The Alexander Blank Fabrics & Design team shares how you can give your home coastal vibes with Hunter Douglas interior shutters.
The Colors of Coastal Style
What do you envision when you picture the coast on a sunny day? The soft tan shade of the sand, bright white clouds against a pale blue sky, the aqua seawater, and fun pops of color from seashells and aquatic plants. These are the same colors you’ll use to bring coastal style to your Maryland home.
Coastal décor features many natural materials, like jute and sisal, and layers of neutral hues. Shades of blue, green, and even pops of color like reds, yellows, and pinks are fantastic ways to accent the neutral tones. For authentic coastal style, you also need lots of greenery. Full plants and potted trees genuinely bring a sense of the outdoors into your home. Don’t have a green thumb? Use faux plants—nobody will be able to tell the difference—just dust them regularly like you would any other surface in your home.
Adding Patterns to Coastal Design
If your ideal aesthetic includes patterns, don’t be shy. Patterns, especially stripes and botanical prints, look fantastic in coastal spaces. You can use multiple patterns if they are in the same color family and have similar visual weight. In other words, you don’t want the patterns you use to compete with each other for attention within a room.
Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Shutters Make the Perfect View
Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are the ideal window covering for coastal design. The innovative Polysatin™ compound is resistant to heat, moisture, and UV damage, and the Palm Beach Promise™ guarantees they will never fade, yellow, or warp. Choose from three louver sizes and three neutral colors to accent every window in your home.
A Coastal Living Room with Contemporary Appeal
A coastal living room invites friends and family to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Coastal style embraces spectacular views and abundant natural light. Bright white shutters with large 4 ½” louvers are a great way to draw attention to windows. We recommend choosing the HiddenTilt™ or TruView™ Rear Tilt systems to give your shutters a contemporary look and enjoy an unobscured view.
Create a Coastal Oasis in Your Bedroom
Warm shades of off-white are a relaxing choice for bedroom walls, but too much white will make the room feel clinical and uninviting. Try using shiplap in a soothing shade of blue-gray to create a feature wall with textural appeal. If you want a classic coastal appearance, vinyl shutters with 2 ½” louvers and a front tilt bar are an excellent window treatment solution. Upgrade your Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters experience with PowerView® Automation and adjust the louvers from the comfort of your bed.
Accessorizing Your Coastal Interior
You can’t have a gorgeous interior design with decorative accessories. They add visual interest and make a space more lively. The trick is not to overdo it. You have several options available, but bringing too many coral, driftwood, and sisal baskets into your living room may look more like a hotel gift shop than your home.
