Coast Meets Colour

Coast Meets Colour

Colour Exterior Interior

Beach and coastal homes are often synonymous with bright whites. However, you can live by the coast and infuse colour that feels deeply natural and organic whilst also rich and alive. Injecting colour into your coastal abode in clever and considered ways can add depth and interest to a traditionally white home.

Capture your environment to create a coastal palette

Creating the perfect coastal palette can be as simple as finding the shades you feel capture the beauty of the beach for you. An example of this can be seen with the use of deep forest greens that work to create a subtle bridge between the indoors and outdoors. This flowing effect is ever important at costal homes to keep an ongoing connection to the environment. 

If you aren’t ready to tackle a colour in your beach home, a great way to work your way up to it is experiment with classic neutrals. People can be worried to try neutrals when their home furnishings are also playing with similar tones. To avoid this, Haymes Paint recommends finding a neutral that will offset the tones of your furniture, rugs, and other window dressings.

Staring at a wall full of paint samples and knowing which tones will offset your home can be overwhelming.

Haymes Paint offers in-home or online colour consultationsfor this very reason. Their skilled colour consultants can guide you through choosing the right scheme to complement your coastal home.

Straying from the more obvious coastal tones of greens and blues to embrace rust tones can transform the look of your home drastically. The beauty of living by the coast is the effects changing light throughout the day can have on your home. Rust tones can really play into this by embracing the colours of sunrise and sunset, changing the look of the room as the colour embraces the natural light.

As rust tones are a bit more pigmented, bringing them into the home in the form of accent walls in smaller spaces can be beneficial. Especially if you’re worried about detracting from the traditional coastal aesthetic. Haymes Paint recommends experimenting in areas such as walk-in-robes, laundries, or smaller architectural nooks.

Conclusion 

Don’t be afraid to venture into colour. Injecting a little bit of colour into your coastal home that reflects your immediate environment, is the most beautiful way to create your perfect coastal palette. Tip your toe into colour with a few accent furniture pieces or jump in the deep end with an accent wall that enhances your natural surroundings.
