The allure of the West Coast is undeniable, and its natural beauty and relaxed vibe have long been an inspiration in home decoration, resulting in unique spaces that blend modernity with organic elements.
West Coast style takes its core influences from the stunning Pacific Northwest landscapes. Often characterized by open floor plans, a neutral color palette, large windows, natural materials like wood and stone, and an airy vibe, this design approach strikes a chord in those who appreciate pairing the outdoors with chic simplicity.
Achieving a West Coast Design in Your Bedroom
The West Coast trend shines best when designing bedrooms – imagine opening your eyes to bright morning sunlight streaming through large windows as you awaken each day!
To achieve the look, use calming neutral paint tones accompanied by wooden accents or rustic furniture to create that iconic layout. To add a touch of detail, select bed linens that emulate organic textures and incorporate artwork or decorative pieces that reflect scenes or symbols indigenous to coastal regions.
The Perfect West Coast Layout For a Kitchen
When it comes to the kitchen, start by enhancing the room’s height with vaulted ceilings accented by exposed wood beams. Material choice matters and should include natural finishes such as distressed-look wooden countertops and stone-tile backsplashes. Understated cabinetry in neutral or light tones also pairs well with sleek stainless-steel appliances for a modern touch.
Lighting is also critical, and we suggest focusing on incorporating natural light through large windows or skylights to fill the space. Finally, extend this brightness to evening times with contemporary LED lighting solutions to create a perfectly harmonious modern-nature fusion.
Infusing your home’s interiors with the eye-catching West Coast design will create visually pleasing spaces and transform your home into an ever-welcoming retreat that organically aligns nature’s beauty with modern comfort.
