1. Coastal

Want to nail that coastal vibe in your home? Here are a few easy tips to get you started with your curtains:

  1. Stick to light, neutral tones—think whites, creams, or soft beiges for a fresh, airy feel.
  2. Go with natural fabrics like linen or cotton. They’re breezy and perfect for that relaxed, coastal style.
  3. Layering sheers over blockouts is a great way to let in soft light while keeping your privacy intact.
  4. For an effortless, polished look, try S-Fold or pinch pleat curtains—they’re casual but still chic with those soft folds.
  5. Add a bit of texture with subtle slubby cross dyed fabrics to keep things interesting but still laid-back.
