Bring Florida into your design, by incorporating coastal colors and objects! By using seafoam green like the ocean waves, you can bring a light color into your room that is not overbearing yet still coastal. This color can be used as an accent color in a room that’s primary color is driftwood tan. By using these natural colors, you can create a timeless coastal design that is perfect for your Florida home!
Bring the Nautical Florida Atmosphere into Your Home
If green and brown aren’t your colors, bring the nautical Florida atmosphere into your home by using cobalt blue. In a room with a primary color of white or a very light gray, cobalt can be a striking accent. By having an accent wall, throw blanket, or spectacular piece of art in cobalt you can bring the nautical feel without having a lighthouse statue on the side of your room.
Add Kid-Friendly Pieces That Are Timeless
When trying to design a kids’ space, rather than having a curtain with a dolphin embroidered on them, choose something that can age with them. Something like a piece of wood when a dolphin engraved is much more mature yet still has an adolescent feel. Also, a small dolphin accent pillow that has muted colors has a childish feel while still having mature details.
Go For Art That Ages Well
An important note to remember when designing a coastal or nautical space, is to not only pick objects that come right from the sea. Having a dolphin statue, or a starfish paint, can quickly go out of style or become too immature for the space. Rather, pick a piece of art that is abstract blues. This can represent the ocean, and not just have painting of the ocean. Also, a color painting in muted colors, with a sophisticated frame can look extremely classic instead of white color painted on a blue canvas.
Don’t Forget To Show Your Personality and Style
Overall, when designing your space in Florida be sure to show your personality and style! Create an atmosphere with natural colors that you love, and that will last years to come! Have fun designing and good luck!
