Coastal cottage living room with striped seating and beach-themed wall art, titled “5 Ways to Achieve a Coastal Cottage Living Space.”

First off, what is "coastal cottage"? This design is contemporary, cozy, bright, and casual; however, that does not mean it is boring! If you want to enter your room and feel relaxed, this may be your style choice. Here are some ways to achieve that look:

1. Add Wool or Canvas

Rectangular brown woven rug with a coarse, tightly looped texture.

Wool, canvas, and denim are materials that can achieve this warm and cozy feel. This hand-woven area rug is a great option, or this Natural Basket Weave Jute Rug will do the trick (none of these are sponsored in any way).

2. Find a Throw Pillow that Is Sandy White, Washed Blue, Rosy Red, Mustard Yellow, or Olive Color

Textured fringed throw pillows in mustard, white, teal, gray, and pale pink

Organic elements/ colors are the name of the game! Keep your eyes peeled for these colors in your decor items. You can find the pillows to the right, here.

3. Incorporate Linens and Soft Cottons or Knits

Chunky-knit gray and cream blankets draped over a pale cabinet.

Who doesn't love snuggling up on the sofa with a big, knit blanket? This is a practical as well as beautiful piece to add to your living space.

4. Choose Light and Weathered Wood

Round wooden pedestal table with a plank-style top and three curved feet.

Whether this is in your furniture or decor, try to find ways to add light, weathered wood. You can use raw objects from nature if you are on a budget, like fresh greens or driftwood. This table can be found at World Market!

5. Add Ceramics, Natural Stone, or Nautical Elements
