Relaxed Coastal Style

The first part of the book offers up Sally’s unique take on coastal style, celebrating the colors and textures of the seaside: bare wooden boards, uncurtained windows, and furnishings covered in robust linen or cotton that will endure salt water and the sun’s rays. Sally also looks at lighting, furniture, and coastal decorative accents such as maps, charts, and nautical-themed accessories. She draws inspiration from beachcombing, displaying shells and driftwood to feel close to nature and the sound of the waves. The second half of the book visits 12 enchanting coastal houses, cottages and hideaways, from Norfolk to New England. Wherever you live, Relaxed Coastal Style will inspire you to adopt the relaxed, informal simplicity of life by the sea.
