Coastal living has always held a special place in my heart, with its airy vibes, natural textures, and effortless charm. When it comes to creating that perfect coastal-inspired home, I find myself turning to a few trusted pieces that truly capture the essence of the beach—without the hefty price tag. From serene outdoor seating to a cozy reading corner, these coastal home favorites have helped transform our space into a serene coastal retreat. Today, I’m sharing some of the standout pieces I’ve recently added to our home, each one chosen for its beauty, function, and undeniable coastal appeal.

a serene & tranquil outside seating area

I’ve made it a priority to create a peaceful, inviting space in our backyard. Our outdoor seating area is the perfect blend of comfort and style, with soft cushions in muted tones that invite you to sit back and unwind. The mix of wicker and wood gives it a coastal charm, while a few carefully placed throw blankets and plush pillows add that extra touch of coziness. Whether it’s sipping coffee in the morning or winding down with a book in the evening, this serene area has quickly become my favorite spot to relax and soak up the fresh air.

kitchen countertop decor

My kitchen countertop decor is all about striking the right balance between functional and beautiful. I love incorporating natural elements like wood cutting boards, woven baskets, and glass jars filled with cooking oils or fresh herbs. A few vintage-inspired pieces, like a ceramic pitcher of fresh flowers, bring a bit of charm to the space. The idea is to create a welcoming atmosphere where everything has its place, but the little details make the kitchen feel warm and lived-in. It’s all about those subtle touches that bring a sense of calm to the heart of the home.

the throw pillow curation of my dreams

The soft, faded blues, sandy neutrals, and striped patterns remind me of days by the shore and the gentle rhythm of the ocean. I love mixing textures like linen and cotton for that airy, relaxed feel, and each pillow adds an extra layer of comfort and style to our space. Whether tossed casually on the couch or layered on a cozy armchair, these pillows make the room feel welcoming and peaceful.

My hallway has been completely transformed with this beautiful console table. The light oak finish and boho-inspired rattan doors add a breezy, coastal vibe, blending functional storage with stylish design. It’s the perfect statement piece, offering space to tuck away essentials while enhancing the room’s relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Every time I pass by, I’m reminded of how small details can truly elevate a space.

the coziest reading corner

This reading corner is one of the coziest spots in the house, tucked beside a window that lets in just the right amount of natural light. The comfy chair, piled with soft pillows and a chunky throw blanket, invites you to settle in and get lost in a good book. I love how the gentle sunlight fills the space, making it the perfect little nook to relax, unwind, and enjoy some quiet time.

Wayfair Coastal Home Favorites

Wayfair has become one of my go-to sources for home finds, especially when I’m looking for pieces that are both beautiful and functional. Whether it’s a cozy upholstered bed, a vintage-style rug, or the perfect dining table, I keep coming back to their site because the selection is huge and the quality has truly impressed me. Today, I’m rounding up some of my favorite Wayfair pieces I’ve used in our home recently, from our newly designed guest bedroom to our dining space.

a serene & stylish guest bedroom

I’m so happy with how this guest room came together. It’s a warm, welcoming retreat for guests, layered with texture and soothing neutrals. The centerpiece is a beautifully crafted beige upholstered bed from Wayfair. It’s now available on sale, making it the perfect time to bring this elegant and timeless piece into your home. To give the space that relaxed, lived-in coastal feel, I added a blue cotton-blend rectangle pillow with a handcrafted aesthetic. Underfoot is a vintage-inspired ivory rug that’s incredibly soft and offers the perfect neutral base. A favorite detail is the rustic wood bench at the foot of the bed. It has a handmade, artisanal quality that adds character.

nightstand styling

Still within the guest room, one corner has become a personal favorite of mine, thanks to its contrast and warmth. This dark wood nightstand adds depth and texture, grounding the light-toned room with its rich, natural wood grain. It’s both functional and full of character. Atop the nightstand sits a blue ceramic table lamp with elegant gold detailing, subtle yet glamorous. I styled it with two sculptural accents, one in solid gold and another in a playful gold-and-white combination, for a collected, curated look. To soften the corner, I placed a faux olive tree in a natural tote-style basket.

coastal master bedroom

We first chose this bed for our master bedroom, and it quickly became a favorite, so much so that we brought the same beige upholstered bed into the guest room, too. It’s one of those timeless pieces that works beautifully in any space. The clean lines and soft, textured fabric give it that calm, coastal look I love, and the quality is just as impressive in both rooms.

One of my favorite pieces in the main part of our house is this weathered oak console table. Its rustic finish adds natural warmth and texture, making it incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with modern, traditional, or coastal styles. This table not only grounds the space but also serves as a functional surface and eye-catching focal point. It’s the perfect blend of style and practicality for an often-overlooked corner.

The Art of Coffee Table Styling

A coffee table is more than just a functional piece, it’s a canvas for style, personality, and a cozy feel. Whether you have a textured woven table or a sleek, modern oval table, styling it thoughtfully can transform your living space. In this post, I’m sharing different ways I’ve styled two distinct coffee tables in my modern coastal home, mixing natural textures, books, greenery, and unique decorative accents to create balanced, inviting looks.

modern coastal living room

slipcovered sofa | block print pillow cover | frames | faux tree | coffee table | wicker tray | vase | marble coasters | taper candles | hammered metal taper | hand-forged metal taper | wood knot decor | the art of home | interiors book

simple and natural styling

This woven coffee table adds natural texture to our modern coastal living room. I styled it with a mix of large and small neutral books, including a soft blue one for a hint of color. Two white pots in different shapes each hold a different faux plant, bringing in a touch of greenery. The overall look feels relaxed, simple, and effortlessly coastal.

creating depth and interest

This is another way I styled the woven coffee table, focusing on balance and layering for a fresh coastal feel. The white boxes add structure and subtle shine, while the white pot with a faux plant brings a natural touch to the center. Mixing books in soft and deeper tones adds visual interest, and the coasters keep it practical. On the lower shelf, a gray bowl and books create depth and anchor the look.

mixing vintage touches with coastal elements

I combined familiar pieces with new accents for a fresh feel. I kept the dark and white books, topped with a shiny vase and a larger, uniquely shaped vase in the center holding dark purple faux flowers for a vintage touch. Vintage beige coasters add warmth nearby. A ruffled stone bowl filled with grey beads sits on the big white book, adding depth. The large gray bowl, light blue book, and white book stay on the bottom to keep the base grounded and cohesive.

balancing shine and warmth with simple layers

This oval coffee table features a sleek white shiny top paired with a dark wood base, creating a modern yet warm contrast. On top, I layered grey and white books for a neutral foundation, adding a wood chain for a touch of sculptural elegance. A scalloped wicker tray holds gold candlesticks and marble coasters, blending texture with subtle luxury. To complete the look, a grey vase adds softness and ties the color palette together, balancing the clean lines with a cozy feel.

my favorite rug, planter & lounge chairs

I restyled the same oval coffee table, keeping the gray and white books as a base. On top, I added two woven candle holders for warmth and texture, placing the marble coasters directly on the table for easy access. A bulky cream-colored book adds softness, while a green handmade distressed vase filled with vintage cream flowers brings a touch of rustic charm. On the lower shelf, a unique wicker vase adds interest and complements the natural woven elements above.

Here’s a look at my modern coastal favorites and home updates for March.

Our faux hydrangeas are a best-seller, and I’m still amazed at how realistic they look! They add such a natural touch to the space and look perfect in this new crock I picked up. The combination has brought a fresh, vibrant feel to my updated console table, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite features in the room.

kitchen & dining coastal favorites

Some of my personal favorites from March include our new kitchen runner. I absolutely love everything about it, the colors, the pattern, and the overall coastal vibe it brings to the space. It really ties the room together. Another favorite are my counter stools; they’re not only durable and comfortable, but they’re also perfect for the kids with their easy-to-clean surfaces. The texture they add to our kitchen is exactly what it needed, giving the space a welcoming and relaxed feel.

Gallery frames are a staple in our home, and they never fail to make a statement. I love how our family photos are the main focal point in our living room, adding warmth and personality to the space. Each frame tells a story, and it’s such a beautiful way to display our favorite memories. The collection has become a central part of our home’s decor, giving the room a personal, lived-in feel.

subtle upgrades

Our new Drapeful curtains in the family room have been the perfect addition, providing just the right amount of color to brighten up the space. We chose the Skyler in Silver, with privacy lining, triple pleat, and memory shape, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. The fabric adds a soft elegance, while the memory shape ensures they always hang beautifully. They really elevate the room’s atmosphere, making it feel cozy and refined at the same time.

We recently added new coastal art to the ledge in our living room by Deb Pressuto Art, and it’s the perfect finishing touch. I love the vibrant pop of blue in the piece, it ties in beautifully with our sofa and really brings the coastal vibe to life. The artwork adds just the right amount of color and character to the space, making it feel even more serene and inviting.

outdoor faves

I’ve also added faux florals to our back porch and deck from Amazon, and I’m honestly so impressed with how real they look! The vibrant colors and realistic textures really brighten up the outdoor space, giving it a lush, fresh feel without the upkeep of real plants. They’ve been a great addition, adding beauty and low-maintenance charm to both areas.

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek into my March favorites and home updates! It’s always refreshing to mix in new pieces and seasonal touches to keep things feeling fresh and inviting.

The coastal aesthetic has always been something I’ve admired, so when we moved into our house, I was determined to bring that feeling into our master bedroom. I wanted to create a space that felt like a true retreat, a place where you could really unwind. It’s about more than just decorating, it’s about setting a mood, capturing that sense of calm you get by the water.

When choosing fabrics for your layered bedding look, opt for soft and breathable materials that prioritize both style and comfort. To learn how I create that fluffy bed look, click HERE.

You’d be surprised how swapping a few elements can transform a space.

florals + greenery

Adding faux florals and greenery to your space is an easy way to add a pop of color. It adds a touch of nature to a space while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. Opt for faux pieces for minimal effort! You can swap them out as you please, and don’t have to keep up with watering them.

From Builder-Grade to a Custom Home

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Turning a builder-grade home into a custom masterpiece is a rewarding journey that brings personality and style to every corner. When I first moved into my home, I saw its potential, even with its standard finishes. Through thoughtful design choices and a little creativity, I transformed key areas of the house into unique, custom spaces that reflect my personal taste and lifestyle. I knew I wanted a neutral coastal aesthetic that shows through in my décor. In this post, I’ll be sharing how I took different parts of my home from basic builder grade, to original, showcasing the projects that made a world of difference in creating a home that truly feels like mine.

Gold Light Switch | Wallpaper | Linden Hook | Faucet | Medicine Cabinet | Towel

Part of the fun of being a homeowner is getting to add personality to each room. That is the key to turning a builder-grade home into a custom dream home. Builder-grade homes are cookie-cutter, built to look like every other house on the block. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with keeping your house in a builder-grade state if that’s what you like! However, if you are looking for some inspiration to upgrade and personalize that house, there are easy and affordable ways to accomplish that!

In this bathroom, I swapped out the light switch plate for a gold metal one, new wallpaper, a new faucet, and a hook for the hand towel, just to name a few. Don’t be afraid to mix metals and patterns!

Builder Grade to Personalized Touch in the Kitchen

To transform a builder-grade kitchen into a more personalized space, consider adding thoughtful details that reflect your style. Simple touches like decorative vases, faux greenery, and charming hand towels can instantly elevate the space. These small accessories not only add color and texture but also create a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels uniquely yours, giving the kitchen a custom, lived-in feel without a complete overhaul.

Style Larger Scale Greenery in a Vase for a More Custom Home Look

When transforming a builder-grade home into something custom, it’s important to consider the scale of your pieces. Avoid cluttering the space with too many small items. Instead, opt for larger statement pieces that create a sense of balance and cohesion. One simple way to do this is by incorporating large greenery or florals in a vase, which adds life and visual interest without overwhelming the room. Don’t overlook the power of larger-scale items like curtains, curtain rods and door handles. These can make a dramatic difference in elevating the overall aesthetic, giving the room a more custom, curated feel.

Simple Hardware Upgrades

One of the simplest and most effective ways to add a custom touch to your home is by upgrading the hardware. Small changes can make a huge impact, replacing a basic faucet with a more stylish one or adding a statement light above a piece of artwork can instantly elevate a space as pictured here. Other easy hardware upgrades include swapping out doorknobs, updating light fixtures, installing new curtain rods, or even replacing standard wall socket covers. These often-overlooked details can transform your home, giving it a more personalized, polished look.

Customization Through the Front Door

Okay, now I can’t make a blog about customizing our house without giving a shoutout to our front door! This customized front door has seriously changed the vibe of the entire house, and to say I am obsessed is an understatement. I look at this customization as an investment piece. I got exactly what I wanted and it looks absolutely gorgeous. My exact from door is the Therma Tru Classic Craft Artíssa Collection in Mahogany Grain 6 Lite, and the divided color is Acorn!

Transforming your home from builder-grade to custom doesn’t have to involve major renovations or expensive projects. By focusing on thoughtful details, like upgrading hardware, choosing the right scale for your furniture, and adding personalized touches, you can create a unique and truly yours space. Every small change adds up to a bigger transformation, and with a little creativity and patience, your home can reflect your personal style and vision in a way that feels custom-built just for you.

Bringing Spring into My Home

With spring comes the perfect opportunity to refresh your home with a few simple decor changes. I swapped out heavy winter pieces for lighter, brighter accents that evoke renewal. Within my Spring decor, I try to keep it neutral, light, and airy to match the rest of my decor. Even though some days are still cold where I live, I am ready to start decorating for the warmer days! These are the updates I made around my house to embrace the season and create a space that feels fresh and inviting.

I love bringing the essence of spring into my space with soft, neutral swaps that still feel fresh and inviting. This season, I added a cozy blue and cream throw blanket to my sofa for a light, coastal touch. A faux olive tree offers a bit of greenery without the hassle! These subtle updates, from the artwork to the greenery, create a calm and refreshing spring atmosphere that perfectly complements the coastal feel of my home.

Subtle Spring Bathroom Updates

To bring a touch of spring into my bathroom, I kept things simple with a few subtle updates. A vase filled with faux flowers adds a pop of color and freshness, while another vase with greenery brings in a natural, earthy vibe. I swapped out my hand towels for lighter blues and creams to create a soft, serene feel, and traded my bath rugs for lighter, more airy options that complement the new season. These small changes help create a calm, spring-inspired atmosphere without overwhelming the space.

Lighter Throw Pillows and Blankets

For a fresh spring update in my living room, I love swapping out heavy, dark pillow covers for lighter, neutral tones like soft whites, beiges, or light grays. It instantly creates a breezy, spring-inspired vibe that feels so refreshing. I also like to refresh the wood ledge above the couch with spring-themed artwork to bring a pop of color without overwhelming the space. For the coffee table, I keep things simple by adding a vase, minimalistic candle and candle holders, as well as a couple of stacked books. I love the contrast between the blues and the rattan. These small touches make my living room feel airy, inviting, and perfectly ready for the season.

Vases and Faux Florals for Every Room

Adding vases and faux florals to different rooms in my home are one of my favorite ways to bring in a touch of spring without too much maintenance. In the living room, I love placing a tall, elegant vase on a side table with a few faux stems of lavender or eucalyptus. It adds a calming, natural feel without worrying about wilting. In the living room, I added a textured vase with faux florals. These faux florals provide all the beauty of real flowers but with the convenience of lasting longer and requiring no upkeep!

Colors of the Season

For a simple spring refresh in my master bedroom, I like to swap a few key pieces to lighten things up. I replaced my old vase with a beautiful blue and white porcelain one to add some charm and place it on a nightstand or dresser for an elegant touch. A floral block print quilt brings in a pop of color, and I like to fold the corner down slightly to show off the layers beneath. A soft blue waffle blanket adds texture and keeps things cozy, while the cream-colored euro shams creates a nice contrast and helps balance the bed’s look. For a polished, layered effect, arrange the pillows in a casual, slightly staggered way, so it feels effortless but still styled. These easy swaps make the room feel fresh, inviting, and ready for spring!

Whether it’s lounging after a long day, hosting friends and family, or simply enjoying a good book, the furniture we choose for our homes plays a crucial role in our daily lives. However, not all seating options are created equal. In this blog, I’ll be giving honest reviews of the various seating arrangements in my home, what works, what doesn’t, and everything in between. If you’re in the market for new furniture or just curious about different styles and comfort levels, you’re in the right place.

Let’s start in the most personal space of the house: the bedroom. When it comes to comfort, this is where it all begins. But comfort doesn’t stop there, our living and dining areas are just as important. We’ll take a closer look at the different seating throughout my home, from the cozy, versatile sectional in the living room to the dining chairs that have hosted countless meals and gatherings. I’ll also share my thoughts on the swivel chairs, which are perfect for both relaxation and functionality. Whether you’re after style, comfort, or both, you’ll get the real deal on how each piece really performs!

Pottery Barn Sofa York: Comfort Meets Style

Sofa | Stripe Pillow Cover | Plaid Pillow Cover | Block Print Pillow Cover | Coffee Table | Tray | Art Ledge | Rug

First up, the Pottery Barn Sofa York with square arms and a slipcover. I absolutely love the fabric, the Performance Heathered Tweed in Indigo has such a beautiful, rich texture. However, I made the mistake of opting for the high-performance contract-grade cushions instead of the down-filled ones. The result? The cushions are incredibly firm, almost uncomfortably so. While the fabric itself is a win, the firmness of the cushions definitely takes away from the overall comfort. Lesson learned!

Comparing Comfort: Pottery Barn Balboa vs. Pottery Barn Gideon Swivel Chairs

Next, let’s compare two of my favorite swivel chairs. First, the Pottery Barn Balboa Swivel Chair in Performance Heathered Tweed Ivory, hands down, I absolutely love this chair! The fabric is soft yet durable, and the comfort is next-level. Then, there’s the Pottery Barn Gideon Swivel Chair in Chambray Performance Heathered Basket Weave. The fabric and overall look of this chair are fantastic, but it’s not the best option for taller people. That said, it still works for me, and if I had to choose between the two, the Balboa would win every time, thanks to its incredible comfort.

A Closer Look at My Pottery Barn Sectional

The Pottery Barn Pearce Sectional in Sunbrella Performance Slub Tweed in Pebble has been a favorite of mine for almost six years now, and it’s still going strong. The fabric has held up incredibly well over time, making it a reliable choice for both comfort and durability. This sectional is hands-down my favorite spot to relax, whether I’m watching TV or curling up next to the fireplace, it’s the perfect place to unwind.

Practical and Styling Seating in My Kitchen

The Rejuvenation High Back Dining Chairs have been fantastic, comfortable, and still looking great after plenty of use. They’ve definitely stood the test of time. As for my World Market Amolea Wood and Rattan Counter Stools, these are finally back in stock, and I can’t recommend them enough. They’re affordable, sturdy, and super easy to clean, perfect for kids. Plus, they’re incredibly comfortable and well-made, making them a solid choice for any kitchen.

The Perfect All-Around Chair

The Beautiful Drew Chair by Drew Barrymore in Cream Bouclé has quickly become my go-to spot for working from home. Not only is this swivel chair affordable, but it’s also incredibly cozy. The fabric is soft, yet surprisingly easy to clean, making it perfect for everyday use. It’s the ideal combination of comfort and practicality.

Classic Comfort with a Slipcovered Style

The gray Rowe Sylvie 88” Slipcovered Sofa in our living room has been a game-changer. I love the bench seat, and the cushions are the perfect balance of cozy and supportive, you really sink right in without losing support. We bought it locally, but it’s also available on Wayfair in a different fabric. It’s a great piece that blends comfort and style effortlessly.

Finding the right seating for every space has been a journey of balancing comfort, durability, and style. Each piece in my home serves a unique purpose, from the cozy spots for relaxation to the practical, kid-friendly options in the kitchen. Whether you’re in the market for new furniture or just curious about different styles, I hope these honest reviews help guide your choices and inspire your next home update. Comfort and style are key, and with the right pieces, every corner of your home can be both functional and beautiful.

Decorating and styling your console table is one of my favorite ways to add a personal touch to my home! Console tables are such versatile pieces of furniture that are usually found in entryways, hallways, and living rooms. While there is a lot of valuable space, their slim and narrow design can offer a challenge when styling. Here are the different ways that I love to style my console tables to offer an appealing design.

Personalizing Your Console Table

Personalizing your console table is a fun way to make your space feel more “you.” Start with things you love—like a few decorative books, decor pieces you love, or vases. Mix up materials like wood, metal, or glass for a bit of texture, and add in some greenery or stems for a fresh vibe. You can also add candles or cute trinkets to fill in empty spaces and create a more laid-back, welcoming look. Just keep it balanced and fun!

Create a Cohesive Look

Consider working with a theme for your console table for a more cohesive look. Here, the vase with stems takes center stage with a range of other decorative items that are deliberately placed to add to the overall look and feel of the space.

Beyond the Entryway

Console tables aren’t just for entryways—they can be a stylish addition to any room in your home. I’ve personally used them in my living room and hallway, and they really help tie the spaces together. In the living room, I’ve styled mine as a media console, adding some decorative pieces like vases and books on top, while also using the lower shelf for extra storage. In the hallway, I love how a console table can create a focal point without taking up too much space. I’ve kept it simple with a mirror above, some greenery, and a few personal items, giving the area a welcoming, curated feel. It’s amazing how versatile and functional console tables can be in any room!

Transform Your Space with the Perfect Console Table

With a little creativity, you can use them to showcase personal items, add texture, or even create extra storage. From sleek, modern designs to more classic styles, the options are endless. Whatever your space needs, a well-styled console table can truly pull a room together and add that perfect finishing touch.
