Ideas for Your Seaside Mantel!

Coastal Living Magazine

Cousteau Faux Coral Seafan

Cousteau Red Faux Coral

Bleached Faux Coral

Red Faux Coral

Coral Reef Canvas

Looking for a fresh idea to dress up your seaside fireplace mantel?  Look no further.  Coastal Living Magazine has designed this beautiful display.  Arrange varying sizes of faux coral onto your mantel highlighted by some of your beachcombing finds.  Add a few splashes of color with perhaps some beautiful photographs of sealife.  An old postcard collection could inspire the whole mantel.  We might even simply add our Coral Still Life canvas for color and embrace it with our faux coral collection.

 It is always a fun and rather inexpensive way to change the vibe of your space by rearranging or completely changing your accessories.  A fireplace mantel is the perfect area to to have an ever-changing display.  You can incorporate whatever seaside colors make you happy.  Whatever you choose to do, make sure it reflects your personal sense of style.

It's Always All About the View!

Coastal Living Magazine

Capiz Shell Pillows

Rattan Coastal Decor Lamp

It's all about the view, but if this was my room, these chaise lounges would be facing the sea.  Featured in Coastal Living Magazine, this room would stay simply furnished with the view out to the ocean as the focal point.  Everything else in that room is secondary.  The chaise lounges are a beautiful color and look comfortable.  We would add our Capiz Shell down-filled pillows to bring a subtle accent to the pale blue chairs.  A simple rattan lamp would not detract from the peaceful scene.  Throw a simple sisal or jute are rug on the hardwood floor, and your room is complete.

Shades of Blue By the Sea!

Coastal Living Magazine

Plantation shutters are perfect for life at the beach.  They let the light in gracefully and are so much of a window statement that curtains are not needed.  This room from Coastal Living Magazine designed by Phoebe Howard shows us how nothing brings us seaside like calming blue highlighted by white. Pale blue walls simplified by a sisal rug.  Create a room that makes you feel comfortable the moment you enter.  A combination of simple elements can transform your bedroom into a haven. 

Add a simple glass lamp on your bedside table.   Our Regina Andrew Spa Art Lamp would look great in this space.    We love the colorful, yet soothing base of this beautiful coastal decor lamp that reminds you of sea glass shining in the sun.

Pull the crisp white sheets up to your chin and surround yourself with a soft bed full of accent pillows.  We have chosen a few of our favorite DL Rhein embroidered accent pillows in Robin's Egg Blue.  Splurge on a Pablo Mekis hand-embroidered pillow cover.

A New Beach Green

Coastal Living Magazine

We are loving the crispness of the new green shown here in this beautiful contemporary living space from Coastal Living Magazine. The natural tones and texture of this room let your eyes take in the exquisite view without distraction. Soft apple green is highlighted with the brightness of pure white and contrasted with the wonderful wood tones offered on the chairs in both the sitting room and the dining room. We think our Wabisabi Green pillow collection would be perfect in this room. These coastal decor organic pillows are made from a cotton twill fiber that is grown with natural fertilizers and is free from toxic chemicals. They are amazingly soft with an ecofiber fill which is hypoallergenic and made from, of all things, recycled plastic bottles. All designed, printed and fabricated in the U.S.
