If you're dreaming of a home that combines the charm of grandma's house with the breezy vibes of coastal living, you're in the right place. Today, I'm sharing my top tips for achieving the coastal grandmother look in your home. Get ready to dive into a world of vintage elegance and seaside flair!
1. Embrace Vintage Finds:
The key to achieving the coastal grandma look is to embrace vintage finds that tell a story. Think heirloom furniture, antique knick-knacks, and vintage artwork that add character and charm to your space. Visit thrift stores, flea markets, and antique shops to uncover hidden gems that will give your home that nostalgic coastal vibe.

2. Incorporate Coastal Colors:
Bring the colors of the coast into your home with a soothing palette of blues, whites, and neutrals. These colors evoke the tranquility of the sea and create a serene atmosphere. Add pops of color with coastal-inspired accents like coral, seafoam green, and sandy beige to complete the look.

3. Mix and Match Textures:
Create depth and interest in your decor by mixing and matching textures. Combine wicker, rattan, and natural fibers with soft fabrics like linen and cotton to add warmth and coziness to your space. Incorporate nautical elements like rope, driftwood, and seashells for a touch of seaside charm.

4. Add Vintage Florals:
Nothing says coastal grandma like vintage floral patterns. Incorporate floral prints in your upholstery, curtains, and throw pillows to add a feminine touch to your decor. Look for patterns featuring blue flowers or botanical motifs to enhance the coastal theme.

5. Display Personal Treasures:
Showcase your personal treasures and family heirlooms to add a sense of history and nostalgia to your space. Display photos in vintage frames, showcase your grandmother's china collection, or hang a gallery wall of vintage artwork to create a space that feels uniquely yours.

6. Create Cozy Nooks:
Design cozy nooks where you can relax and unwind. Add a reading corner with a comfortable armchair and a stack of vintage books, or create a window seat with plush cushions and a view of the sea. These cozy spaces invite you to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living.
