As a REALTOR® who designs homes for Gulfport home builders, I’m sometimes asked about coastal design style. Coastal home designs often incorporate elements that reflect their seaside location and natural surroundings. Some of the most popular features in coastal home designs include:
What Are The Most Popular Features In Coastal Home Designs
- Large windows and balconies: Offers stunning views of the ocean and natural surroundings while letting in plenty of natural light and fresh air.
- Outdoor living spaces: Patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens are popular in coastal home designs, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors and take advantage of the mild coastal climate.
- Open floor plans: Coastal homes often have open floor plans that allow for easy flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. This design feature can make the home feel more spacious and airy.
- Light and airy color schemes: Coastal homes typically feature light and bright color schemes that reflect the colors of the ocean and beach, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere.
- Natural materials: Natural materials such as wood, stone, and natural fibers are often used in coastal home designs, creating a connection to the natural surroundings and adding warmth and texture to the home.
- Water features: Pools, hot tubs, and water features such as fountains or waterfalls are popular in coastal home designs, adding to the relaxing and peaceful atmosphere.
- Coastal-inspired decor: Modern coastal home designs often incorporate decor elements that offer a subtle nod to the surroundings, such as beach-inspired artwork and nautical accents, adding to the overall theme and ambiance of the home. Just be sure not to overdo it.
