Can’t decide between the relaxed vibe of decorating your house with beach decor and choosing the cozy appeal of the farmhouse trend? Well, why not have both? At True Blue Roofing and Remodeling, we’ve seen the farmhouse trend and homeowners in coastal North Carolina can combine these two living styles into one beautiful dream home. Here’s how you can bring that farmhouse aesthetic to your home.
Start With Natural Materials
Think wide plank wood floors, shiplap walls, and exposed beams. These elements bring a sense of warmth and authenticity to your space. Use reclaimed wood to add character and an eco-conscious touch, which also ties into the sustainable lifestyle often associated with coastal living. Consider incorporating natural stone for countertops or fireplace surrounds to further enhance the earthy feel. The texture of these materials provides a rich, layered look that is both inviting and visually interesting.
Keep It Light and Airy
Use a soft color palette: whites, creams, pale blues, and weathered grays. These tones reflect sunlight and bring in that open, breezy coastal feel. To enhance this, consider large windows and skylights to maximize natural light. Add sheer curtains or light, flowing fabrics to maintain privacy while allowing light to filter through. Using reflective surfaces like mirrors and glass can also amplify the light and create a sense of spaciousness.
Mix Rustic with Nautical
Combine farmhouse lighting (like lantern sconces or wrought iron fixtures) with coastal accents like driftwood, sea glass, or marine-inspired decor. Think about adding rope details, such as rope-wrapped lamps as decorative elements. Vintage maps, compasses, or even framed seashells can add a touch of maritime history. Mixing textures like rough wood with smooth glass or metal creates a dynamic and visually appealing contrast.
Choose Durable Finishes
Humidity and salt air can take a toll. Use moisture-resistant paint, sealed wood finishes, and stainless hardware that can handle the coast. Selecting high-quality materials designed for outdoor use, even for indoor areas near windows or doors, can prevent premature wear and tear. Opt for fabrics that are stain-resistant and easy to clean, and consider using rugs made from natural, durable fibers like jute or sisal.
Don’t Forget the Porch
A wraparound porch or screened patio is a must-have. Add rocking chairs and coastal planters to complete the look. Consider adding outdoor lighting to extend the use of your porch into the evening. String lights, lanterns, or wall sconces can create a warm and inviting ambiance. Add cushions and throws in weather-resistant fabrics to make the porch comfortable and welcoming.
Creating Your Coastal Farmhouse
Combining the best of both worlds, the coastal farmhouse style offers a unique and appealing aesthetic. It’s a blend of laid-back beach vibes with the comforting, rustic charm of a traditional farmhouse. With careful planning and the right touches, you can transform your home into your dream coastal farmhouse retreat.
