COASTAL CHIC
Relax and unwind in a retreat bedroom inspired by the colours, textures and laidback lifestyle of the beach
FURNITURE
The Coolmore Bedroom Suite from Harvey Norman is the perfect starting point for creating a coastal-style space. Its varied wood tones and chunky, rustic style brings a beachy look to any bedroom, and the bed frame even features handy shelves for displaying your favourite sea shells, mementoes or books. Black handles on the drawer units add an industrial edge, making this bedroom a stylish place to retreat to and rest.
TEXTILES
Linen bedding is key to creating that relaxed, lived-in look – and you don’t need to iron it! Washed-out blue tones are perfect for this look and balance out the striped duvet cover and crisp, white sheets. Layer cushions and throws on top for a relaxed look that invites a luxurious afternoon nap. Place a soft, neutral rug underneath the bed for added texture.
ACCESSORIES
Adorn your coastal bedroom with items that remind you of beach holidays and the outdoors. Arrange some toe toe fronds or dried leaves in a large, simple vessel to create that foraged feel. Use natural fibres and textures wherever possible and place a few tealight candles on surfaces for burning during warm summer nights. Stacks of books ready for curling up with are essential, as is a simple wooden bedside lamp. Finally, hang a gorgeous photograph or artwork that reminds you of your favourite beach. Make a fresh cuppa, lie back and dream of the sea!
