COASTAL CHIC SUMMER LIVING ROOM DECOR

This year, I kept things very simple for the summer season, and only updated our pillow covers, restyled the trays on our ottoman, brought back my previous lamps and added some lush palms for greenery.

Those few, simple changes make all the difference and help to create a coastal themed living room look that I love so much.

Call it Hamptons style or coastal decor, either way, it’s become my favorite look in our home for summer. I love blues and always incorporate them throughout my decor, something I’ve been doing more and more through the years.

Blue hues are the perfect way to create relaxing and stylish coastal living rooms, bringing together the soothing vibes of the coast and an added touch of summer flair.

If you missed it, you can visit my summer entryway that we just wallpapered in a faux blue grasscloth – which is also a nod to this coastal design that I love so much.

I kept our bookshelves styled very similar to my spring living room decor, and only swapped out a few jars.

This is such a busy time of year, and I needed to keep my sanity! So… simple summer decorating it is.

I wanted a specific combination to achieve this look and I could not love them more. The bold stripe print breaks up the floral and animal print and it creates a beautiful visual tension that I love.

I often get asked what we do with all the pillows in here when we lounge in here – very simple, they get thrown on the floor! We lounge here every night and even though it might look perfect in photos, it’s a very well lived-in space!

I do admit, I’m very particular with how my pillows are displayed though, so each night when I pack it up before bed, they get neatly placed back in their appropriate places – pillow chop and all, ha! I love a good pillow chop and I’m not afraid to say it!

If you know me well, then you know that beautiful pillows are always a must for me in my decor.

I change them every season to freshen up the look in here and they also get rotated throughout our home as well. Gorgeous pillows always make a statement and these ones have stolen my heart.

I also ordered some of the striped fabric to recover our barstools in our kitchen this summer, and I’ve chosen similar fabrics to the floral and animal print in my home office.

On our ottoman, I corralled my favorite coral sculptures on our blue trays and mixed in some of my pale blue ginger jars – all in different heights to create dimension and visual interest.

You’ll recognize the trays, books and some coral, also from my spring living room. Here, I wanted the look to be more monochromatic, a bit similar to my summer tour two years ago.

I just love the layers of soft blues and creamy whites you see on display in here – it’s the perfect way to create a coastal chic living room.

I always love to style books in my decor and sometimes I’ll color coordinate them as well for a cohesive look.

I love this view, looking into the front of our home, especially in the summertime when all the lush greenery is our view.

Our blue, faux grasscloth wallpaper in the entryway has such a big impact and compliments our coastal chic living room decor so beautifully.

Our rug, which made it’s debut in our spring living room is the perfect neutral piece that helps to tie all of our spaces together.

Yes! Believe it or not, blue is a neutral -think denim, blue waters and skies…blue just makes me happy, it’s that simple.

Over the years, I’ve incorporated blue more and more throughout our home, and I’ll never get tired of this calming color. My mama would be so in love with our summer living room decor.

Our entryway refresh has her style written all over it. I miss her every single day (I miss both of my parents terribly, we unfortunately lost them both close together), but this all brings me so much comfort, as it reminds me of her. She had such impeccable style and it has impacted me in every way.

We’re thinking about possibly painting our walls white in here, which would be a huge undertaking – the ceilings are eleven feet.

This color is Collingwood by Benjamin Moore – a beautiful greige, or taupe – but I think a beautiful creamy white would be stunning! Or possibly a very pale blue. We’d also love to add moldings to the upper walls, like we have in our hallway, dining room, bedroom and my home office.

Thank you so much for joining me in our coastal chic living room. I hope you love it as much as we do!
