Dream Home: How to Bring the Coastal Grandmother Trend Home

The Coastal Grandmother trend is about making your home feel calm, bright and welcoming, a bit like a breezy house by the sea. You do not need to live anywhere near the coast to enjoy this style. With a few small changes, you can create a light, fresh space that feels easy and relaxed.

A Brief History of Coastal Style

Coastal home styles started in seaside towns where people used simple, natural materials and light colours to suit the weather. Over time, the look became popular everywhere because it feels open and easy to live with. The Coastal Grandmother trend brings a soft and homey feel to the classic coastal look, inspired by older beach homes and peaceful living.

Fact of the Day

The idea of the Coastal Grandmother came from social media where people described it as a mix of beach house style and the kind of home you would imagine a friendly grandmother living in by the sea.

Choose Light and Airy Colours

Pick whites, creams, and soft beige shades for walls and furniture. These colours make rooms feel bigger and brighter. They also go well with different decorations, so you can easily update your look when you want.

Mix Different Materials

To stop your space looking too flat, add lots of different fabrics and textures. Think cotton cushions, knitted throws, and simple linen curtains. It makes the room feel more lived-in without being messy.

Use Light Wood and Simple Furniture

Furniture made from pale wood, wicker or rattan fits really well with this style. Even adding a simple wooden coffee table or a few woven baskets can make a big difference. The goal is to make the space feel warm and easy-going.

Bring in Gentle Colours from Nature

Add a few touches of sea blue, leafy green, or sandy tan through small things like cushions, lamps or rugs. These soft colours remind you of the beach without making your room look too themed.

Add Some Fresh Greenery

Plants and flowers always make a room feel more alive. Pop a bunch of white flowers on the table or keep a few pots of fresh herbs in the kitchen. Even a little vase of green leaves on a shelf can lift the whole room.

Helpful Tips for Getting the Look

• Keep furniture simple and comfortable
• Stick to a few main colours to keep the room calm
• Use things made from real materials like wood, cotton, and stone
• Mix old and new items for a more natural feel
• Leave space around furniture so the room feels open
