Incorporating Seasonal Decor Into Your Coastal Aesthetic
Longer days. Warmer weather. A world adorned in elegant blossoms. Spring is almost here, and we think it’s the perfect time to soak up all the beauty the Lowcountry has to offer. Sprucing up your home with quintessential spring decor is a great way to celebrate the changing season and incorporate some of South Carolina’s coastal brilliance. We’ve gathered a few of our favorite ideas for you to explore.
Natural Styles and Lighting
If you’re drawn to natural materials–such as reclaimed wood and stone–it’s time to get excited! By bringing nature indoors and incorporating natural tones throughout your home, you can achieve that warm and welcoming Lowcountry feel. Adorn your space with low-maintenance houseplants, like whimsical spider plants or trailing pothos, for a serene and stylish look. Consider using colorful ceramic vases or arranging your greenery in macrame hangers. Don’t be afraid to create dimension by varying the size of your indoor plants!
Alternating light sources is another simple way to get your home ready for spring. Consider ways you can accentuate the natural light in your home–even if it means rearranging furniture or decor. Finding the perfect fixtures can also help fashion an attractive and airy atmosphere in addition to improving the overall quality of light, making your home feel like a breath of fresh spring air! To further hone in on the natural look, try incorporating chandeliers–or other fixtures–made with organic materials, such as rope, reclaimed wood, or even shells.
Ideal Artwork
Finding artwork that adds a well-curated finish to your home doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Here are a few things to remember when you’re searching for pieces that embody springtime styles. Look for art that shares similarities with your existing interior design style so that it blends into the overall aesthetic of your home. Find focal pieces that resonate with the landscape around you. Envision the rolling water, the mystical marshlands, and hopeful blue skies. Finally, choose pieces that appeal to you. You know your tastes better than anyone, so don’t be afraid to trust your instincts.
Bringing it All Together
Can we share a secret with you? Incorporating spring decor into your coastal aesthetic doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You can still achieve stunning results by rearranging what you already have and including a few new pieces! Try placing your favorite vases together to accent an entryway cabinet. Locate the particular features in your home you’d like to accentuate and get creative! If you have an exposed fireplace, consider adding lighter colors and decor to highlight the brick’s natural beauty. On the flip side, if your kitchen is mostly white, add in contrasting spring-inspired accents that add color to the room. Remember, varying color and texture is a great way to produce a bespoke coastal aesthetic that is unique to you.
