What is Coastal Farmhouse Style?

Source: Pure Salt Interiors

Coastal farmhouse style is a popular, relaxed home decor style that combines elements of country style with coastal elements. It often features natural elements like wood, jute, and linen, and also includes pieces that evoke a beachy, seaside feel like driftwood, nautical decor, and vintage-style furniture. This style often includes bright whites and blues and looks great in any home, no matter where you live!

Coastal Inspired Color Palette

The main difference between traditional farmhouse style and its coastal sister is the addition of coastal colors and textures. In these spaces, you’re likely to find an array of blue tones as well as cane and rattan textures.

Layering of Coastal & Industrial Textures

If you jumped on board the farmhouse design style when Joanna Gaines popularized it back in 2013, then you likely already have the perfect backdrop for your coastal farmhouse home. The key is to layer those more natural and industrial elements with coastal ones to fuse the two styles together. Think exposed brick and metal work blended with reclaimed wood and rattan.

Reclaimed Wood

A key feature of Farmhouse style, reclaimed wood, gets a coastal treatment with more of a whitewashed or driftwood vibe than just standard raw wood. Having those subtle gray and white tones in your wood helps bridge he gap between higher contrast farmhouse style and lower contrast coastal style.

Black Matte Hardware

One key feature we see throughout coastal farmhouse homes is the use of black matte hardware for light fixtures, hardware, and furniture. While black can seem harsh it actually helps ground the space and can bridge the two styles together. It also gives your eye something to grab onto if you opt for all white walls and mostly white or neutral furniture.
