Window Treatments for Coastal Décor

Do you love the beach? For most Miami residents, the answer is a no - brainer, as our state boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Bringing that beachy feel home, however, can be trickier as pitfalls in design can turn upscale coastal décor tacky in a heartbeat. To master the beach - inspired motif of the modern coastal design, embrace the easygoing, natural beauty of beach landscapes with relaxed styling and clutter - free design that feels put together but not forced. Window treatments play an important role in interior design because they occupy a prominent visual space in many rooms and control natural sunlight, and what’s beachier than bright, warming sunlight? Add light control and style elements to your home with window treatments for coastal décor!

Design Elements for Window Treatments for Coastal Décor

When shopping for new window treatments for coastal décor, remember these three design elements to help you sort through the variety of treatments available for modern window coverings.

  1. Beach - Themed Color Palette: For window treatments for coastal décor, draw from earth tones like sandy brown, sea green, or sky blue. White is also prevalent in coastal décor as the bright, light neutral tone roots the color palette but doesn’t feel heavy or brooding. White also easily coordinates with any of the other coastal colors in play.
  2. Natural Materials for Authenticity: Since coastal décor is inspired by the seaside, elements of natural origin are used throughout the space. Find wood floors and furnishing in homes with coastal style and organic fabrics like linen or cotton.
  3. Creating an Airy Feel: Stay away from dark colors and heavy materials when coordinating new design pieces into your home with coastal style. There is nothing brooding or dark about a fun day at the beach, so elements with a darker aesthetic feel out of place in homes with coastal décor.

Window Treatments for Coastal Décor by Hunter Douglas

Applying the principles of coastal style to window treatments in the Hunter Douglas collection, we narrowed our list of favorites down to three types of window treatments for coastal décor: shutters, drapes, and woven wood shades. Each type embodies the coastal aesthetic in a unique way, creating beach - inspired looks with a modern sensibility.

  • Plantation Shutters: The openness of plantation-style shutters allows both a view out and light in creating interior spaces that have the airy, flowing feel of coastal décor. And for homes that are actually on the coast, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters have the additional benefit of being moisture resistant to better withstand the challenges of beach living.
  • Drapery: When designing custom drapery for coastal décor, the fabric choice will be of utmost importance. Go for lighter materials like sheer or natural materials like linen to stay aligned with the aesthetic. In the Design Studio™ fabric library, homeowners can also find fabrics with a beachy motif, like Waves by Seema Krish, that work for coastal décor.
  • Woven Wood Shades: Using woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo, woven wood shades take traditionally hard organic elements and transform them into fabric shades. Window treatments for coastal décor made of these organic textiles naturally fall in line with the design style by showcasing natural elements in an elevated manner. Additionally, the raw weave of woven wood shades creates a lighting pattern like sunlight falling through a tree canopy adding to the authentic sense of outdoors characteristic of coastal design.
