Bring Coastal Vibes Home This Summer
June is here, and we’re officially trading those cozy layers for sandals and sunhats. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of morning light dancing through your windows, and what better way to celebrate the start of summer than by giving your home a breezy, beachy makeover?
WHY COASTAL VIBES FEEL PERFECT IN JUNEWhen summer hits, bringing a bit of coastal style into any room instantly freshens things up. Try swapping heavy drapes for sheer linen curtains in living areas, add soft blue and white throw pillows to your couch, and layer in natural elements like a seagrass rug or driftwood décor on shelves. In the bedroom, switch out bulky blankets for lightweight linens, and in the dining area, weave in a rattan placemat or a shell-filled centerpiece. Even small touches—like a wicker basket for blankets in the family room or a simple, breezy table runner in the entryway—help carry that relaxed, seaside feeling throughout your home. |  |

TOP 5 MUST-TRY COASTAL TOUCHES
1. Driftwood Accents
Bring the shore indoors by adding a simple driftwood shelf or wall hook. Not only does driftwood add instant character, but it also reminds you of sandy strolls every time you glance at it.
2. Soft Blue & White Bedding
Swap out heavy duvets for airy linen sheets in sky blues and crisp whites to keep things breezy on warm summer nights. Not only are they practical, but they instantly bring those coastal vibes into your bedroom, making every evening feel like a peaceful seaside escape.
3. Natural Woven Textures
Incorporate seagrass baskets, a rattan headboard, or a jute area rug to get those breezy, coastal feels. These textures add warmth without weighing down your space.
4. Seashell or Coral Art
Whether you DIY a canvas print dotted with tiny seashells or place a small coral sculpture on your nightstand, these playful accents instantly scream “beach vacation.
5. Beachy Lighting
Swap out your usual lamps for lantern-style bedside lights or hang a macramé pendant. When the sun sets, that soft glow will feel like golden hour on the sand.

THE CLASSICS COLLECTION
THREE QUICK COASTAL TOUCHES
Swap heavy curtains for breezy linen drapes Heavy curtains can trap heat and block out natural light, making your space feel stuffy. Linen drapes, on the other hand, let in soft sunlight and flutter gently when there’s a breeze—just like a beachside cabana. Look for light, neutral shades (whites, soft grays, or sandy beiges) so the fabric catches any sunbeam and keeps your room feeling open and airy. When you pull them back, you’re greeted with a gentle flow of fresh air and a hint of that “by-the-water” calm. |  |
 | Place a small vase of fresh hydrangeas or beach grass on your nightstand Fresh greens instantly make a room feel alive, but hydrangeas or beach grass bring that coastal charm without fuss. Hydrangeas—especially in pale blues or whites—evoke seaside hues, while a small bundle of beach grass creates texture reminiscent of dunes. Keep the vase simple—clear glass or a weathered ceramic pot—to let the flowers or grasses be the star. Every time you reach for your bedside book or morning coffee, these natural touches will remind you of ocean breezes and sandy shores. |
Light a citrus- or ocean-scented candle before bedtime Scent can transport you—one whiff of citrus or ocean air, and suddenly you’re picturing lazy beach afternoons. A light citrus scent feels fresh and energizing, like that first inhale of salty, sun-warmed air. An ocean-scented candle (think subtle notes of sea salt, driftwood, or clean linen) adds a soft, relaxing layer that helps you unwind. Just a few minutes of that candle glow before you turn in, and your bedroom feels like a private retreat by the shore—perfect for drifting off with that calm, beachside vibe. |  |
