If you are inspired by natural materials and layered fabrics with a world of different textures, look no further than to Norwegian lifestyle shop Bolina:

*

A cozy seating area with dark stained raw wood planks for a wall. White pillows in every shape and texture. I love the one with the dots!

*

Troll-sized spoon and fork on the wall? lol! The cluster of lamps is very nice, and takes up the shape of the bowl in the next pic:

*

This bowl must be inspired by a coral reef, no? I love it!

*

Lovely contrasts of cold hard glass with soft fabrics. Natural pale color palette.

*

More delightful vases. Very coastal!

*

I must admit I have become quite obsessed with lamp shades lately. This one is definitely a cute design with its linen upholstery and dangling seashells!

*

Gorgeousness!

*

Rocks on a string. These are actually made from wool.

Take a look at this gorgeous open plan solution by interior designer by Timothy De Clue:

*

*

*

The style is fresh and modern with a beachy theme. The living room walls are painted brown, while the wall of the dining area is terracotta. The color scheme is pulled together through the sofa pillows. I love the raw wood console table behind the couch, it is very befitting of the theme. Like drift wood. The shiny barracuda (fish) sculpture is from Z gallerie, you can get it here. The wood sculpture in the dining area would be super nice with a spot-light directed at it, I’m sure it would create some kick-ass shadows on the wall!

I love this pretty white dining room with black furniture and olive green accents. I love the super long, fringed tablecloth, and a glass top is very functional. The white chandelier looks pretty too.

*

Light and pretty living room with a super soft green sofa and black iron furniture. I love how the organic patterns on the pillows and wall, together with the orchids in the clam planter and simple iron legs, really roughs up this room!

*

Cream bedroom with a dark stained wooden bed and green accents. I LOVE that ceiling lamp!

*

Black wooden kitchen island with white marble counter top.

*

This mirror is nice! Do you like it?

This beachy green and white bedroom is designed by Amanda Nisbet:

*

Green natural fiber wall covering with medium stained hardwood floor and gray rug. This bed frame is so coastal!

*

The seating area consists of a white chaise lounge with green trimmings. The weave pillow looks great and adds to the beachy feel, but I bet is looks a lot better than it feels, lol. Oh, and the pressed 60’s swimsuit is the best idea ever!

This home is part of the Nations Next Top Model Home competition, where 7 designers each were given $5,000 and 28 days to transform a home. You can read more about the challenge here. You can also cast your vote on your favorite design! Let’s take a look at one of the entries, this one is by interior designer Jill Shevlin:

*

Love how the colors of both living room and dining room are picked up in the stripes in the hallway. Horizontal stripes also makes the hall look longer, and has a calming effect.

*

A smokey tone of blue (blue with black in it) is a perfect choice if you want to create a contrast with white.

*

The walls are blue, detailing and seating furniture is white, while coffee- and side tables are dark. I love the little dog bed in the lowest shelf there. Cutest detail!

*

The mantle is decorated with sea stars and silver vases. This carpet is perfect!

*

Another view.

*

The dining room is clad in natural fiber wallpaper with white 1/3 paneling. I would love to see a nice carpet here.

*

Take a look at these gorgeous bedroom by photographer Burcu Avsar:

*

I love the combination of country and coastal style here. A simple color palette of foggy blue and white, decorated with sea stars and seasehlls..

*

The ruffles and bows are very country. Take a look at the gorgeous seashell carpet!

*

Cute blue and white bathroom too.

Lets take a look at some very coastal designs by Morgan Harrison Home:

*

White coastal kitchen with polished black counter tops and white tiles. This wooden thin-plank cabinet design works perfectly with both the coastal and the nautical decorating style.

*

This ice blue and white living room is balanced with some hot rust-red pillows.

*

The dining room has the same color scheme as the living room.

*

2/3 wall paneling provides an excellent shelf as well as giving the beach hut feel. Black details and furniture adds great contrast to this room.

*

Words have been popular wall art for a long time now.

*

White and blue coastal bedroom with gorgeous white headboard. The snail house pictures on the wall reminds me of the last pic in this beachy design by Tobi Fairley!

White yellow and green makes for a great summer color palette, don’t you think?

Sunflower pattern on both rug and blinds. This is fresh.

*

A lovely light living room. What do you think about that coffee table?

*

A small work space.

Apothecary jars are gret for storing in height, and is also super decorative. Can go anywhere from bathroom to kitchen too, lol.

*
