Window Fashions for Coastal Beach Style
We might not be on the west or east coasts of the United States, but here in West Bloomfield, a lot of folks own waterfront properties. Which makes them prime for following coastal beach style in interior decorating. If you’ve got a beachfront home and are wanting to update your look, at Windows, Walls & More, we have a few ideas for how to achieve it. Read on!
Beach Home Interior Design
These spaces are best when they’re set to reflect their environment, with plenty of colors and textures inspired by the water and the beach. Décor elements like driftwood, fishing nets, and buoys are a great way to support the vibe. For a color palette, choose the blue family to evoke feelings of the water, with accents of white and pops of vibrant color to draw the eye to accent pieces like throw pillows, vases, and artwork. And because natural sunlight plays a large role, window treatments a key piece of the overall aesthetic. Plus, they can highlight the water view, protect the interior from harmful UV rays, and withstand the onslaught of the sun’s heat. Below are some great options to use for a beach-inspired décor style.
Faux Wood Shutters
When a home is close to water, humidity and moisture can be an important factor. Faux wood shutters, which look like genuine wood but are made of durable compounds, are a solid option. Hunter Douglas offers Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, which are made to resist mildew, moisture, and UV rays, so they won’t chip, warp, crack, fade, peel or discolor. Plus, shutters offer a fantastic “beachy” vibe.
Woven Wood Shades
Because they’re made from reeds, grasses, woods, and bamboo, woven wood shades bring a touch of the outdoors in. They filter sunlight alluringly, and their construction is naturally textural and visually interesting—especially if the room is mostly white. Hunter Douglas offers Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made to withstand bowing, breaking, and stretching.
Solar Shades
To block the most heat and glare, consider solar shades. Designed to offer excellent light control, Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades also block UV rays, helping to protect furniture and flooring from irrevocable damage. Depending on the openness factor (whether the weave is dense or loose), screen shades can provide privacy while also helping to preserve your view.
