Hallmarks of Coastal Beach Style 

Coastal beach style is, of course, inspired by the ocean and beach, so the design will likely reflect the environment, with plenty of beachy colors and textures. Décor elements like driftwood, shells, buoys, and fishing nets, can lend to the vibe, and colors will usually be in the blue family with accents of white and pops of vibrant color to draw the eye. Because natural light is key to the theme, window fashions play a large role in the overall look and feel. Plus, they can highlight the view, protect flooring and furnishings from harmful UV rays, and withstand the onslaught any undue heat from the sun. Below are some great window fashions to use for a beach-inspired décor style.

Faux Wood Shutters

If your home is plagued by humidity, you might find that faux wood shutters, which look like genuine wood but are made of durable compounds, could be a good option. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters from Hunter Douglas are made to resist mildew, moisture, and UV rays, so they won’t fade, warp, peel, crack, chip, or discolor. Plus, shutters offer the ultimate “beachy” aesthetic.

Woven Wood Shades

Made from bamboo, grasses, reeds, and woods, woven wood shades offer a direct connection to nature. Bringing texture and visual interest—especially if the room is mostly white—they filter sunlight beautifully. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades from Hunter Douglas can complement a coastal beach style. Plus, their construction helps them withstand breaking, bowing, and stretching.

Solar Shades

Solar shades are well-known for blocking the sun’s heat and glare. On top of that, Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are known to block the sun’s dangerous UV rays, helping to protect furniture and flooring from irrevocable damage. Depending on the openness factor (whether the weave is dense or loose), screen shades can provide a great deal of privacy while also helping to preserve your view.
