At its core, the Coastal Grandmother style is about creating a space that feels both lived-in and luxurious. Think of Diane Keaton's beach house in "Something's Gotta Give", a harmonious blend of comfort and sophistication. 

Key Elements:

• Neutral Colour Palette: Soft whites, sandy beiges, and ocean blues dominate, evoking the natural hues of the coast.

• Natural Materials: Incorporate linen, cotton, rattan, and jute to add texture and warmth.

• Vintage Touches: Antique furniture, heirloom pieces, and thrifted finds add character and a sense of history.

• Botanical Accents: Fresh flowers, potted plants, and botanical prints bring the outdoors in.

Summer calls for bedding that's both breathable and stylish, perfectly in tune with the coastal grandmother aesthetic. The right fabrics not only keep you cool but also add to the breezy, effortless charm of a coastal-inspired bedroom.

Top Coastal Bedding Choices:

• Linen Sheets – Known for their breathability and relaxed look, linen sheets are a summer staple in any coastal retreat.

• Cotton Percale – Crisp and cool, percale sheets offer a smooth finish that’s perfect for warm nights by the coast.

• Lightweight Quilts – Swap heavy duvets for quilts made of cotton or linen blends, ideal for layering in a coastal setting.

Layering is key to achieving a cozy yet refined coastal look. By mixing textures and subtle patterns, you can add depth and interest without overwhelming the space—capturing that breezy, lived-in coastal charm.

Layering Tips:

• Mix Materials – Combine linen sheets with a cotton quilt and a knitted throw for effortless coastal layering.

• Subtle Patterns – Incorporate stripes, florals, or gingham in muted, coastal-inspired tones.

• Decorative Pillows – Add a mix of sizes and textures, such as a ruffled pillow paired with a woven one, to complete your coastal retreat.

Accessories play a crucial role in tying the room together and enhancing the coastal feel. The right accents bring warmth, texture, and that breezy charm every coastal-inspired space needs.

Accessory Ideas:

• Natural Coastal Rugs – Jute or sisal rugs add texture and a relaxed coastal vibe.

• Woven Coastal Baskets – Perfect for storage or as decorative elements that highlight coastal simplicity.

• Ceramic Coastal Vases – Display fresh flowers or dried botanicals to bring a touch of nature indoors.

• Vintage Coastal Lamps – Rattan or ceramic lamps provide warm, ambient light that complements the coastal retreat look.

Make the space uniquely yours by adding personal touches that reflect your style and memories.

Personalisation Tips:

• Family Pictures: Display cherished items like framed photos or inherited trinkets.

• DIY Projects: Create your own artwork or refurbish vintage furniture.

• Scented Candles: Choose fragrances like sea salt or lavender to enhance the coastal ambience.

• Books and Magazines: Stack your favourite reads on a bedside table for a lived-in feel.

By thoughtfully selecting bedding, layering textures, incorporating accessories, and adding personal touches, you can transform your bedroom into a serene Coastal Grandmother retreat perfect for summer.
