Why It Works

Coastal living rooms work because the style captures the relaxed energy of beachside living. A palette of whites, blues, and sandy neutrals paired with natural textures like rattan, jute, and driftwood creates a space that feels like a permanent vacation. Oversized sofas in slipcover fabrics invite lounging.

How to Achieve This Look

1
Start with a white or sandy neutral base on walls
2
Choose a comfortable slipcovered sofa in white or cream
3
Add blue accents through pillows, throws, and art
4
Incorporate natural textures like jute, rattan, and linen
5
Display driftwood, coral, or shell accents sparingly
6
Use sheer curtains to maximize natural light

Pro Tip

Use one shade of blue as your accent and repeat it in exactly three places — pillow, art, and one object.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a coastal living room redesign cost?

Costs vary widely based on scope. A cosmetic refresh with paint, textiles, and accessories can start at $500-$2,000. A full renovation with new furniture, lighting, and surfaces typically runs $5,000-$25,000+ depending on room size and material quality. Using Layoutly AI to visualize changes first helps you prioritize spending where it matters most.

Can I achieve a coastal living room look on a budget?

Absolutely. Focus on the highest-impact, lowest-cost changes first: paint, textiles (throws, cushions, rugs), and lighting can dramatically shift a room's feel. Thrift stores and online marketplaces are great sources for coastal furniture. Layoutly helps you test budget-friendly options before purchasing.

How do I use AI to redesign my living room in coastal style?

Upload a photo of your current living room to Layoutly and select the coastal style. The AI will generate a redesigned version showing exactly how your space would look with coastal elements. You can adjust colors, furniture, and materials to refine the design, then use the result as a reference for shopping and hiring contractors.
