Philosophy
Relaxed luxury. The tension between Atlantic or Pacific serenity and the confident ease of old wealth. Coastal design invites the ocean inside — its color, light, texture, and sound — without replicating a souvenir shop. Hamptons specifically adds architectural gravitas: cedar shingle exteriors, millwork heritage, and the muted palette of a sea-glass morning. Australian coastal adds sun-soaked informality and Queenslander timber tradition. Both share the aspiration: that the interior feels like a deep breath of clean salt air.
Core Characteristics
Blue-and-white palette — from navy to soft sea-glass
Natural linen, cotton, and jute textiles
Shiplap and tongue-and-groove wall paneling
Painted white woodwork — detailed millwork, coffered ceilings
Striped fabric (ticking, awning stripe) on upholstery and cushions
Weathered or whitewashed wood surfaces
Wicker and rattan furniture (indoor and covered outdoor)
