A Traditional Beach Cottage Design

A Splash of Beach Style – the Lightened-up Version of the Traditional Beach Cottage Look
If you like the charm and relaxed
feel of the traditional beach cottage design, but do not live near the beach,
and believe that that design style might not be in keeping with your
surroundings, you can still incorporate a few
select “beachy”
accessories into a room without it being an obvious design statement.
Today’s “Hit Picks” design board
uses Joss & Main’s furniture and wall décor. I chose a couple of table accent pieces from
two different Etsy shops and one from Joss &
Main. I chose the cool, calm blue (sky
and water) and green (grass and plants) color palette for the four accent
chairs. I prefer using chairs in place
of couches or love seats because this gives design flexibility, being able to
move the chairs within a room for a new look or even to move one or more to a
different room. That is not as easy of a
possibility with larger pieces. The cool
needed a touch of warmth with the addition of the orange-red coral accent color
that you see in the abstract floral watercolor art piece and in the simple vine
design – that also looks like sea coral, to me - in the area rug, the throw
pillow on the green and white patterned arm chair and lastly in the “Sea Coral
Glass Reef Marble.”
This “Splash of Beach Style” allows
you to bring several reminders of that amazing natural space into your
home/sanctuary without having to make a major commitment to the traditional
beach cottage look. I hope you learned
something from this week’s “Hit Pick.” I
would appreciate your comments. Thanks
for visiting HSH.
