Coastal Christmas (& the Breezy Textures to Get You There)
A coastal Christmas aesthetic trades snow for sand, pine trees for mango wood and frostbite for sun kisses. It all starts with light, breezy, beachy materials and colors.
1. Raw, Natural Wood
Anything made from mango wood is a step toward coastal vibes. This organic-color dining set feels straight from the shore-hugging cliffs; natural grains, a distressed look and a light, breezy brown has the beach written all over it. Top off with silver, gold and greens for a balance between the natural brush of salty-air landscapes and a celebratory, end-of-year feel.
2. Light, White Accents
Natural wood tables are the basis of many a Christmas style. But for Christmas on the coast, breezy neutral linens are a necessity. Layer linen pillows, off-white throws and matte gold, silver and pearl ornaments that do service to those beachy metallic sunsets.
3. Coastal Ornamentations
Coastal plants tend to thrive in cold, so just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean your home can’t be filled with salty-air life. You know sea oats, beach elder and Gulf bluestem from their appearances on sandy shores; put a holiday coastal spin on their breezy vibe with shiny gold vases, gold accents and dried beachy stems, twigs and branches.
