Yes, we love the neutrals– they are a big part of the Cottage Home philosophy. But we also can’t do without the pops of color that can individualize a room and show your cottage style. Handblown aqua bottles and glassware, a navy throw pillow and a russet striped throw some hints of color into the beachy mix. But the fabulous bright tropical shade of coral on the shutter-style cottage painted coffee table steals the show.
Relaxed yet refined.We say it time and time again - a mix of formal and casual pieces will help achieve your sought-after cottage style look in no time. Formal ivory leather chairs with nailhead trim look just right beside a slubby seafoam slipcovered sofa. Some rustic baskets made from materials that could have washed up on shore look perfect in the same room with a glitzy gilt sea life table lamp.Remember - there is no end to the juxtapositions of texture, color and design ideas make your coastal cottage living room your own, with equal parts of ease and elegance.Brought to you by Cottage Home Furniture- specializing in cottage furniture & farmhouse tablesPhoto credit: Country Living
[post_title] => Rooms To Love: Coastal Living Room
[post_excerpt] => The open, airy space of this living room lends itself to a naturally coastal feel. A mix of formal leather chairs and a casual slipcovered sofa is a unique way to mix up the style in a room. We love the bright pops of color through the coffee table and accessories. And always remember – a fun grouping of accessories immediately livens a room!

I don't know about you, but there has been a lot of reading going on in the last few months at my house. Sometimes I reach for already-read novels, sometimes I exhaust all new titles in the genre of the moment (Victorian ghost stories, anyone?), and sometimes I reading about people and places I've never heard of just to feel like I'm becoming more informed.
Looking for something new to read? Featured here are three entertaining books that I have read, two recently and one not, each one paired with a cottage style chair reflecting the book's personality.
Because no matter what the content, a good book deserves a great chair.
Comfort is Key
If your book is compelling enough, sometimes you will realize that you have been reading until the sunlight has faded, oblivious to the discomfort of old metal lawn furniture.
But there's no need for that - especially when we have a large selection of attractive and comfy seating. Our cottage seating ranges from rockers and wooden chairs and stools to upholstered and slipcovered pieces and benches. Whether you read indoors our outdoors, or a little of both, we have suitable seating options upon which you should read your novella or biography.
Inspire Your Setting
The first selection above (1) is our Outer Banks Wicker Heirloom Chair, from our Cottage Wicker Collection. Its generous, fanned-out silhouette seems a perfect chair choice for reading a biography about Beryl Markham. I can picture Beryl in the 1920s and 1930s lounging in this rustic wicker chair, taking a break from hard work and sharing a drink on the veranda of her favorite Kenyan bar, the Muthaiga Club.
Never heard of her? Besides being the first person (man or woman) to successfully fly an airplane solo east to west across the Atlantic Ocean in 1936, statuesque Beryl was an author and award-winning professional horse trainer. Raised by her father in the Kenyan bush alongside the native people, she had an adventurous life that included hunting and scouting game, even a British Royal Prince. For the rest of her radically unconventional life she was paid hush money by the Crown... and she looked fabulous into her 80s to boot.
The central selection (2) is from our Summer House Upholstered Collection - the Pepperrell Cove Upholstered Bench. Customization is a breeze with hundreds of fabrics to choose from. I chose this long and lean piece for the famous couturiere - Coco Chanel. I can see her perch lightly on this sofa-length bench for just un moment - perhaps to sip a pernod - pleased with the simple lines and contrasting pattern.
Many of us know Chanel - her style, her aesthetic. But the secrets she harbored numbered more than her weight and perfume formula. Liaisons of all kinds, from passionate to practical, filled this busy grand dame's life. Not to mention that she came from nothing. She sprung herself from an orphanage straight into Belle Epoque Paris, found some heavy-hitting friends and got to work creating tirelessly. Her new biography reveals arrangements she held with the Nazi occupiers of war-torn France. In sympathy or for survival? We may never know.
The last cottage chair selection (3) is from our uniquely styled Rustic Hickory Twig Furniture collection. Backwoods know-how and steambent hickory and oak are what makes it look so cool. I can picture settling down in this rocking chair to listen to the sounds from a steamy bayou and hear a good old murder tale.
OK - so I read this book a long time ago now. Or did I just see the movie? No - I would never do such a thing. So besides knowing that this book contains a murder, and some antiques, as well as voodoo and a creepy statue on the cover, I don't remember the details. But I remember the setting, the old, genteel squares of Savannah as well as the eerie kudzu-covered side of Savannah. And of course certain characters like Lady Chablis and the voodoo priestess Minerva definitely made an impression. This country style rocker is the best place to comfortably hear a story filled with fear, revenge and ghosts - the gentle rocking of your own flesh and blood will stave off the spirits!
Choose Your Colors
Shown in Acorn, the Outer Banks Wicker Heirloom Chair is available in 20 available colors (including Natural). Buttercup is shown (top right) because it shows off Beryl's hair
For the Pepperrell Cove Upholstered Bench, the leg selection shown is Dune. However, there are eighteen total leg colors as well, and any Benjamin Moore paint color can be added to your bench to further make it your own.
Our Bentwood Rocker looks jaunty in Old Red, but there are a baker's dozen of other colors to choose from, including pretty Bishop Blue (shown at bottom left).

The Regatta Stripe Indoor/Outdoor Rugcaptures the best of summer in its bold navy, cornflower, red and white stripes. Bringing to mind the open seas, crisp white sails and nautical pennants whipping in the wind, it looks dashing both with a leather sofa and ottoman bench and in an edgy kitchen with steel and wood pieces. This lightweight and low-maintenance rug has engaging color, classic nautical style and serious decor versatility.

Amazingly airy and welcoming, this restored oceanfront cottage was once used by Cape Cod fisherman as a storehouse for bait and fishing equipment. Perched upon a wharf with direct views of the Atlantic, this cabin disarmingly blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Weathered floor boards and salty, exposed timbers, along with several points of access to the outside, all give a sense of freedom and connection with the sunshine as well as shelter if bad weather happens to blow in.
A large part of the charm of this space is, of course, its ocean view - not an option for all of us! But other elements that add to the carefree comfort are possible to replicate in your own home. Combine pieces with weighty permanence such as well-worn leather club armchairs with breezy antique rattan and wicker chairs. Natural wood and woven textiles are key, but also add doses of seaside hues like teal, ink and royal. White semi-sheer drapes let in light and create a sense of transcending boundaries. In fact, any little touch that will help you capture the feeling of a permanent vacation is worth incorporating.
Do you have a room that is a lot like the outdoors?

Who doesn't love a pastel palette? By combining shades of purple, blue, and green, we created today's beach house pastels color board that would be perfect for a peaceful coastal retreat. Saturated color combos of coral and aqua are a popular coastal decorating choice for an invigorating beach house look, but this palette brings out the softer side for a more relaxing ambiance.
What do you prefer, saturated colors or a softer pastel hue?

A distressed wood bench serves double duty as a coffee table next to a tailored, slipcovered sofa and streamlined arm chair. The natural jute rug and braided lamp contribute to the relaxed vibe. And if you aren't lucky enough to have built-in bookcases like the ones pictured here, a stand-alone can do the trick just as easily!

Light wood floors and shades of white make this beach home inspiration breezy and beautiful. One of our favorite elements in this living room is the hand woven wool rug! The wide stripe design makes a big impact, and we love the softer aqua color, because it draws together the entire coastal color scheme. These rugs come in an amazing array of colors and are also reversible, which allows you to flip and rotate for even wear.
Do you prefer wool or cotton rugs?

This living room space is a great example of embracing the nautical style, but in a tasteful and restrained way! The color palette is simple, straight forward and makes a stunning statement. The bold navy sofa is trimmed in a stark white fabric for high contrast, and gives the sectional a very tailored look. Pairing the sofa with an ottoman outfitted in a classic anchor motif provides a fun and exciting accent. Having the large navy and white wide striped rug offers another simple, yet visually stunning, element in this classic nautical decor.
Would you add any other pops of color, or keep it the calm and collected color way it is?

Creating a simple and elegant coastal style nook is easy if you have the right pieces! A nook is any small space in your home that is tucked away, where you can escape to read, write, or watch a movie. The perfect nook has a little storage, a lot of comfortable seating, and sufficient lighting.
The media center has plantation shutter doors that enhance the coastal look, while also allowing for hidden storage, and is flanked by one of our all time favorite chairs. The Sarasota chair is big enough to lounge in and oh so stylish. The abstract coral fabric is such a great source of color in this tame and serene color scheme, while the neutral rug has an eye catching contrast design.
Where is your favorite nook in your home?

Mixing and matching furniture styles, colors, and finishes really makes this a unique and lively living room. This coastal cottage living space encompasses many furniture styles including contemporary, country, and cottage styles that all blend seamlessly together for eclectic flair. The colors are so fresh and invigorating! The white frame on the spool chairs makes a vivid splash against the neutral rug and aqua sofa. We love the small accent of doing a contrast fabric for the sofa piping, especially using crisp white.Brought to you by Cottage Home - specializing in cottage furniture & farmhouse tables

The beautiful blend of blues makes this small coastal living room a cool and calming space. It may seem counter intuitive to put a sectional in a small space, but as you can see from this room, it can actually make it feel very inviting! Sectionals are a great way to maximize seating while efficiently utilizing space. Not to mention how cozy they are to pile onto for a movie night! This living room also has an eye catching custom built bookcase wall, a central place for all of the decorative accents to create a big statement.

Summer’s last hurrahis now upon us. Already our desire to hold on to recent beachy, breezy days and our instinct to start making a cozy nest at home begin their annual tug-of-war. But for the moment, let’s enjoy the serenity of this open, airy beach cottage living room with all the trappings of the summer by the seashore.The innate coastal feel of this living room comes from lots of natural light bouncing off white walls as well as carefully chosen neutral hues. The barely-there bleached natural fiber rug creates an illusion of increased floor space and allows your beach cottage furniture to stand out. Striped seersucker armchairs and cottage painted furniture, starfish pillows and washed chambray slipcovers – all these choices and more look fantastic against a neutral backdrop.
Yes, we love the neutrals– they are a big part of the Cottage Home philosophy. But we also can’t do without the pops of color that can individualize a room and show your cottage style. Handblown aqua bottles and glassware, a navy throw pillow and a russet striped throw some hints of color into the beachy mix. But the fabulous bright tropical shade of coral on the shutter-style cottage painted coffee table steals the show.
Relaxed yet refined.We say it time and time again - a mix of formal and casual pieces will help achieve your sought-after cottage style look in no time. Formal ivory leather chairs with nailhead trim look just right beside a slubby seafoam slipcovered sofa. Some rustic baskets made from materials that could have washed up on shore look perfect in the same room with a glitzy gilt sea life table lamp.Remember - there is no end to the juxtapositions of texture, color and design ideas make your coastal cottage living room your own, with equal parts of ease and elegance.Brought to you by Cottage Home Furniture- specializing in cottage furniture & farmhouse tablesPhoto credit: Country Living

I don’t know about you, but there has been a lot of reading going on in the last few months at my house. Sometimes I reach for already-read novels, sometimes I exhaust all new titles in the genre of the moment (Victorian ghost stories, anyone?), and sometimes I reading about people and places I’ve never […]
The Regatta Stripe Indoor/Outdoor Rug captures the best of summer in its bold navy, cornflower, red and white stripes. Bringing to mind the open seas, crisp white sails and nautical pennants whipping in the wind, it looks dashing both with a leather sofa and ottoman bench and in an edgy kitchen with steel and wood […]
We love this bright yet relaxed beachy living room, from its low, planked top coffee table to its crisp white slipcovered sofa to its touches of seaglass blues and greens. We have picked out some Cottage Home pieces that will help you recreate this rustic seashore look. #slipcovered #juterug #blues #greens cottagehomefurniture.com
Airy and welcoming, this restored oceanfront cottage was once used by Cape Cod fisherman as a storehouse. Perched upon a wharf with direct views of the Atlantic, this cabin disarmingly blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Weathered floor boards, exposed timbers and several points of access to the outside all give a sense […]
Who doesn’t love a pastel palette? Saturated color combos of coral and aqua are a popular choice for an invigorating beach house look, but this palette brings out the softer side for a more relaxing ambiance. #beachhouse #cottagedecor #beachdecor #colorboard #pasteldecor https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com
This beach cottage living room has a great mix of old and new, polished and rustic elements. A distressed wood bench serves double duty as a coffee table next to a tailored, slipcovered sofa and streamlined arm chair. The natural jute rug and braided lamp contribute to the relaxed vibe. And if you aren’t lucky […]
This beautiful seaside living room wonderfully reflects it’s surroundings in serene blues, tans, and whites. The tailored upholstered pieces mix well with the natural wood coffee and end tables, creating a soft and sophisticated living area that is both casual and refined. And what a view! The classic french doors perfectly frame the sparkling ocean […]
Light wood floors and shades of white make this beach home breezy and beautiful. One of our favorite elements in this living room is the hand woven wool rug! #beachhouselivingroom #coastalstylelivingroom #coastaldecor #beachhousefurniture #slipcoveredfurniture https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com
This living room space is a great example of embracing the nautical theme, but in a tasteful and restrained way! The color palette is simple, straight forward and makes a stunning statement. #coastallivingroom #nauticalstyle #beachhousefurniture #cottagefurniture https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com
Creating a simple and elegant coastal style nook is easy if you have the right pieces! A nook is any small space in your home that is tucked away, where you can escape to read, write, or watch a movie. The perfect nook has a little storage, a lot of comfortable seating and sufficient lighting. […]
Mixing and matching furniture styles, colors, and finishes makes this a unique and lively living room.

The beautiful blend of blues makes this coastal style living room a cool and calming space.
