11. Coastal Cottage Blue

6
Infuse your home with the breezy, lighthearted feel of a coastal cottage. The stone base is made of smooth, white river stones or light-colored limestone, evoking the look of a pebbled beach. The mantle is a simple piece of weathered white pine. Above, the shiplap is painted in a soft, soothing coastal blue or seafoam green, instantly bringing the colors of the ocean and sky into your living space.

Decorate this mantle with simple, beach-inspired treasures: a piece of white coral, a jar of collected seashells, and a simple watercolor painting of the ocean. This design creates a cheerful, relaxed environment where you can easily imagine the sound of crashing waves just outside your window.
