Coastal bedroom ideas

Coastal Retreat

Salt air, white linen, and the windows open.

Coastal Retreat

Coastal Retreat is the beach house you'd rent for a long weekend, without the drive. Pale walls and whitewashed wood, a bed in rumpled white and sea-glass linen, rattan and bleached oak, and sheer curtains that move when the window is open. It's the one light, airy look in the collection, and it belongs to two times of day: a slow morning in bed, and the hour when the sun goes down and the lanterns come on.

The palette, and why

Every color does a job.

Sea Glass#9fbfc0

A soft, worn blue-green that reads as calm rather than nautical. On the bedding or one wall it makes the whole room feel cooler and slower.

Driftwood#a89a88

The gray-brown of wood that has been in the sun and salt for years. It keeps all that white from feeling clinical.

Sand#e3d4bc

Warm and soft underfoot and on the walls. It's what makes the room feel sun-warmed instead of stark.

Linen White#f5f2ec

Washed white linen is the whole look. Rumpled, never pressed, and it glows when the sunset comes through the window.

Sunset Coral#e3a587

One soft warm accent, the color of the sky at the end of the day, on a pillow or a throw.

Rope#c2a679

Natural fiber in jute rugs, rattan and woven lamps. It adds texture you can feel and keeps the room grounded.

The feeling

Light, slow and sun-warmed. Coastal Retreat feels like the first evening of a vacation, salt still on your skin and nowhere to be.

Why it works after dark

Most romantic rooms are built for the dark. This one is built for the light. Mornings are slow and unhurried, with the sun through the curtains and no reason to get up. Then the sun goes down, the lanterns come on, and the room turns warm and close without ever feeling heavy. It's a room that makes you feel like you're on vacation together.

How to light it at night

Leave the curtains open for the sunset, then light two or three hurricane lanterns with pillar candles, flameless if you might doze off. As it gets dark, add one ceramic lamp with a warm bulb near the bed. Keep the overhead off.
