Natural materials are very trendy in 2021 design. Rattan, wicker, rafia, seagrass and bamboo are available on furniture, armchairs but also in window covers, lighting and accessories of all kinds. Below the bed has French cane on the headboard and footboard.
Living in Central Florida, I have touches of coastal decor in my home year round. Last spring I added pastels to my living and dining rooms. Summer I went with hot tropical colors. For fall I am going rustic by adding texture with wood and burlap with lots of neutrals and tans. On www.beallsflorida.com, I saw a bunch of faux shell arrangements using succulents and on Pinterest, there are amazing shell and floral arrangements. I don’t want to spend $30 or more and was inspired to try making an arrangement with one of my real conch shells from Key West.
Living in Florida, I have many coastal elements in my home. My living room decor is dominated by my floral painting over the futon (see Original Art by Peter Cocuzza) and is mostly coastal in colors. I change the feel of the room for fall by adding more tan, deeper colors, and textures. I’m not really an orange fan. Instead of aqua and peach think turquoise, deep purples, and navy blues.
