Hello Fall

As the leaves start to change and the ocean breeze takes on a crisp, golden edge, it’s time to bring a touch of fall into your coastal home.

Inviting the Crisp Air

Benches: Comfort and Style Combined

A bench in the entryway not only adds a functional seat for putting on shoes but also contributes to a welcoming atmosphere. Whether it's a sleek, modern design or a vintage, upholstered piece, a bench brings both comfort and style.

Popular bench designs for the entryway:

Upholstered benches for a soft, cozy feel.
Wooden or metal benches for a more industrial or rustic look.
Rattan or Woven Benches for a casual coastal vibe
Storage benches that double as both seating and hidden storage, perfect for tucking away extra items.

For a coastal-inspired entryway, consider woven rattan or distressed wood for your bench, and add light linens or striped cushions for a nautical touch. This combination will evoke the feel of a cozy beach retreat.

Illuminate the Entry

Lamps & Lighting Inspired by the Harvest

Lamps: Lighting the Way

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for your entryway. Whether you choose a sleek table lamp or a striking floor lamp, lighting brings warmth and character to the space. It's also an opportunity to infuse style into your entryway.

Lamp options to consider:

Table lamps - Place one or two on your console table or sideboard for a function and style. Balance out one with decor of a similar height.
Buffet Lamps - A pair of tall, slender buffet lamps do not take a lot of space and offer an elegant look.
Pendant lights hanging above the entry for a statement piece.
Sconces on either side of a mirror or artwork for added symmetry.

For a coastal vibe, opt for lamp bases made of driftwood, seashells, or textured ceramic. The soft, neutral tones of coastal lamps will give your entryway that relaxed, beach-inspired atmosphere. Pair them with soft white or warm, golden light to evoke a feeling of calmness and serenity.
