Coastal Style: Home Decorating Ideas Inspired by Seaside Living

I’ve had this beautiful book for quite awhile and still enjoy it. When Hurricane Ian got into my house and ruined it I had to buy another

This is a good book on the basics of how to decorate a coastal home. For the novice in "beachy" decor or the landlubber who craves a coastal look in their landlocked home, it gives general information about paint colors, lighting, accessories, furniture choices, utilizing the natural beauty of the ocean view, and use of a variety of textures to enhance the seaside home. The photography is superb, but i found the colors atonal and drab at times and the distressed furniture and "shabby chic" look somewhat boring and unappealing. The authors' tone is quite sophisticated and they seem to write with a definite European sensibility and flair.

I have seen this book in many exclusive homeware stores throughout Sydney [Australia] at quite a high mark up - so was easily tempted to purchase on Amazon with competitive pricing and AUD being quite good at the time. Overall this book is both an inspirational & aspirational book. It can easily sit comfortably on a coffee table or - as in my case in my design library as a resource to refer to for pure visual & wordsmith candy. I enjoyed looking through this book - however if you are thinking with will give you a blow-by-blow directive on how to set up a Coastal style - this is not the book for you - this is at a higher interpretive aesthetic level. All the same an incredibly gorgeous book and one worth adding to your library. Enjoy.

This book was purchased for my wife which was on her recent Christmas list. We live at the beach and she regularly reviews our home as compared to beach and coastal living designing. When the book is out on our coffee table it is popular with guests. It has also provided many valuable ideas for her when decorating our living area. A very nice buy!

Living on the east coast of Australia, and only 100 mtrs from the sea, I found this book helpful and inspiring. We have used some of its ideas for our beach house and they have worked well. If you are doing up a beach house it is certainly worth buying. Makes a great coffee table book also.

I enjoyed the book and the pictures are artistic with some beautful beach photos. They used several homes to showcase various topics-for example, sleeping spaces and fabrics. I would have prefered each home showcased seperately, but instead, pieces of each residence is shown under each topic. To me, it lost continuity that way. Overall, I enjoyed it and makes a nice coffee table book.

great ideas for living on the ocean.....
