Coastal Summer House Décor

 

A summer spent by the sea is relaxing and recharging. Imagine a clapboard house, a stone’s throw from the waves. It’s dining table dances with the sunlight filtering in through the large windows at breakfast time, and with twinkling candle light as a late dinner ends with soft chatter. The house is a mix of worn furniture to collapse onto after a swim, classic nautical striped fabrics, and a few sea-side antiques. For those of you lucky enough to have a coastal summer house, or if you would like to embrace that feeling into your own space this summer, this mini style guide will help you one your way.
