The Coastal Summer Reset

As the long days of summer unfold, we find the interior design trends are all about creating spaces that feel relaxed, restorative, and effortlessly beautiful.

This season, coastal homes are embracing a quieter kind of luxury—where natural materials, soft textures, and thoughtful details turn everyday living into an experience of ease.

It’s not just a shift in style—it’s a full summer reset, helping us slow down, simplify, and reconnect with what really matters at home.

Why Coastal Homes Are Leaning Into Simplicity

After seasons dominated by bold colors, high contrast, and maximalist layering, summer 2025 is about dialing it back. Think clean lines, breezy palettes, and textures that evoke sea air and sun-washed driftwood. It’s a move toward serenity and timelessness—a design approach that aligns beautifully with the easy rhythms of coastal living.

Whether you're updating a beach house, styling a second home, or simply bringing the spirit of the coast into your primary residence, these trends offer the perfect way to refresh your space with intention.



Slipcovered Furniture

Casual Comfort Meets Elegance



Slipcovered sofas and chairs in whites, creams, or sandy neutrals are taking center stage this summer. They're effortlessly stylish and low-maintenance—ideal for relaxed, barefoot living.

Style Tip: Add tonal throw pillows or a lightweight linen blanket to layer in softness without clutter.

Organic Woods

Driftwood Custom Pieces



Natural, weathered wood is back in a big way. From our Custom Driftwood tables to sun-bleached dining tables, and reclaimed case goods - all bring an earthy, textural depth to open, airy interiors.

Design Insight: These pieces ground a room while reinforcing a connection to nature—especially powerful in homes by the sea.

Rattan, Wicker & Cane

Illuminating the Room


Coastal lighting is evolving. Rattan, Cane and wicker always add that artisanal warmth, and when trimmed in brushed gold and soft brass finishes offer subtle glamour. Together, they strike a perfect balance of laid-back and elevated.

Lighting Idea: A rattan pendant with gold details over a kitchen island or dining nook becomes a natural focal point.

Minimalistic Approach

for Coastal Artwork



This season favors restraint over kitsch when it comes to coastal décor. Abstract wave sketches, neutral-toned seascapes, and nature photography create a soothing atmosphere without shouting “beach house.”

Pro Tip: Go oversized with light wood or white matted frames for a modern, gallery-like effect.

Layering the Floor

with Neutral Area Rugs




Textured neutrals are a key part of the summer reset. From soft flatweaves to jute bases topped with faded vintage runners, layering rugs adds interest while maintaining a calm, cohesive look.

Texture Trend: Keep the palette light with creams, oatmeals, and warm grays to support an open, airy vibe.

Coastal Bedrooms: The Breezy Trend of Summer

This summer, coastal-inspired bedrooms are making waves in interior design. Think light, airy spaces layered with soft linens, weathered wood, and oceanic tones—like seafoam green, sandy beige, and crisp white. Natural textures such as rattan, jute, and driftwood add warmth and casual elegance, while subtle nautical elements—striped textiles, shell décor, or vintage maps—create a laid-back, beach-house vibe. Whether you're miles from the shore or right on the coast, this trend brings a sense of calm, openness, and sunshine into your space—perfect for those long summer days and breezy nights.

Goodbye to Summer Slumber

As the golden days of summer slowly soften into the crisp hush of fall, a quiet transformation begins. The air carries a new edge, leaves blush with amber and crimson, and sunlight stretches into longer, gentler shadows. It’s a time of balance—where warmth still lingers, but the world starts to ready itself for change. From beach days to bonfires, iced tea to hot cider, summer into fall is a season of transition, reflection, and preparation. Let’s step into this moment between, and explore what comes next.
