Coastal Interior Design: How to Make Your Home Look Beachy

Author: May 11, 2019 0 Comments

Over the past couple of years, coastal styles seem to have fallen out of favor. However, we are here to tell you not to write off the seaside look just yet. Gone are the overstuffed and over-accessorized rooms that may fill your memory banks. These days, modern coastal design is bringing understated comfort into the 21st century. Use these tips to give your interiors a beachy style that feels unquestionably current.

The accessories are where you put final coastal touches into your aesthetic. In modern coastal design, you want to stick to fewer accent pieces than you would use in a more traditionally coastal home. That said, do not be afraid to blend more trendy pieces with one or two statement items that infuse the room with a hint of beachy nostalgia. It is also worth using some genuine elements, like these vintage ship lights, to add a touch of authenticity to your space.

For an example of what we mean by modern versus traditional, consider this: Traditional is the sign proclaiming beach or items such as sand dollars or driftwood crafts. In contrast, modern pieces include the chevron pattern, decorative lanterns and shiplap decor.

Where coastal is concerned, visual weight or how the design elements look like they feel is crucial. Going to the beach is a tactile experience (think about digging your toes in the sand or the feel of rocks in your hand) so you want to do your best to re-create those sensations with your design choices.

With a tankless water heater, there’s no question that hot water is slower to appear than through the old storage tank water heater. Waiting on the water to heat also forces you to waste water. Something’s not right when you must waste water in order to save on energy. However, there’s a way to fix this.

Demand systems is a pumping system that allows you to have hot water quickly without having to run it down the drain as you wait. If you shop around, you’ll find that there are quite a few manufacturers of these systems. Research may convince you to try it.

Years ago, there were not any low flow fixtures, and hot water was ready quickly. However, less water was not used. The difference was that the water came out a lot faster, thus producing hot water faster. For instance, a pipe ½ inch around and 63 feet in length contains 1 gallon of water.

If your faucet is set to release 5 gallons a minute, within 12 seconds you’ll have water. With a slower flowing faucet that releases only 1 gallon a minute, the water needs 60 seconds to arrive. In addition, the pipe will be cold unless recently used, and will absorb the water’s heat as it makes its way to you. In cold pipes, it takes longer for the heated water to appear. (more…)
