The choice of an interior design for a new coastal home is often difficult, because it should combine comfort and functionality at once. One, the doors and the windows should be easy to open so to enjoy easily the coastal atmosphere, two – the doors and the windows should be strong so to protect your home from coastal storms and powerful winds. A bungalow or a cottage combines these two different aspects and yet that`s only a hint of what to consider when you want to alter the interior of your coastal home.
Don`t forget to consider the adjacent parts and areas, which also play a major role for the entire design of the interior. Arranging the entire watching or a relaxation deck outdoors is a great opt for using the outer spaces during the hot summer months. The chairs and the furniture are easier for domestic cleaning when they are located outdoors, thanks to the natural sunlight, which enhances the evaporation. The coastal breeze and winds further enhance the evaporation and so you can enjoy the view from the panoramic chair only a dozen minutes after the upholstery cleaning.
Another great hint is to equip the interior spaces with custom-made furnishings. They add a unique personalization highlight to the overall design and it is one of the best ways for space efficiency as well. You can choose a dining table and chairs with a perfect size so they fulfill flawlessly the corner of a room. Or else, by combining exotic motifs like palms, pastel hues and paints, with unique curtain decorations – you can enhance the summer atmosphere in your coastal home in a unique and unsurpassed way.
Design the windows in the bedroom in advance. This is one of the most important things that will let you to listen easily to the sound of the coastal birds or maybe the waves. A window facing the coast is by far the best way for doing so. Take also into account the location and direction of the sun throughout the day. Place curtains or other window coverings, which will enhance the light and they will add a small personalization touch in the interior design. A quick and frequent cleaning of the curtains ensures their true light absorbing qualities and thus the comfort in the bedroom as in daytime, as during the nights when the windows are often open.
Arrange the light fixtures according to the location of the windows too. Decide whether one light with a huge fan hanging from the center of the ceiling is a better opt, or a couple of small table lights will enhance better the details of the furniture designs. The side table lights are easy for wiping off dust during the house cleaning, while the lights from the ceiling are not that easy for getting dirty.
The wall coverings are another key object that can transform your coastal house into the perfect house along the coast. It is essential to choose not so remarkable wall coverings, because the highlight should be at the view through the windows or through the terrace. Choose simple wall coverings with monotone motifs or soft color paints. Also, avoid hanging too much objects on the walls.
Make special seating corners in every room, which can add a great accent to the overall interior design. Yet a perfect seating corer with upholstered chairs and a small coffee table can change into your own lovely place for seating and enjoying the scenery, especially when you design it for the terrace.
