Modern coastal

Bring in warm tones and geometric prints to update this popular look, finishing off with beach-themed extras

Update seaside style with these buoyant buys

You don’t have to live by the sea to embrace this timeless, tranquil look. even though it’s a firm favourite for bathrooms, you can make this style work in any room of the house with a few well-chosen coastal-inspired accessories.

Like alice, start with a neutral backdrop, blue sofa and wooden cabinet, then add sea-themed treasures. For country cosiness, use warm hues and classic pieces like a rocking chair, keeping it modern with geometric prints and Scandi shapes.
