Coastal living at its core embodies an appreciation of naturein its culture and design. Whether it be in capitalizingon magnificent views through window placement, creatingcomfortable outdoor living spaces under lofty porches, orsimply taking influence from the environment to bringnatural elements into a home design, there are many waysto make a beautiful coastal home. As a home builder inCharleston and in South Georgia for almost two decades,I have seen some of the tried and true elements as well assome very unique ways to pull together a coastal design.The most important part of a successful design is to makeit your own.Embracing natural elements in the paint and finishes is agreat start to getting that traditional coastal style. Gray andwhite paint work well, as do other neutrals that enhancethe colors of the trees, sand, water, and sky that is centralto coastal life. Satin nickel is a classic finish choice that isdurable and blends well into other design pieces.BEAUTIFULMUST-HAVE DESIGN ELEMENTS WHEN BUILDING YOUR COASTAL HOMEWatercolor Art by Jo Elliott & Written by David SpencerTo achieve that timeless look throughout the home, considerbathrooms and backsplashes in white or neutral colors. However,don’t be afraid to take twists on these traditional elements andfind unique products that make your home reflect to your tastes.Finding one of a kind sconces and pendants can help make yourhome unique without much cost. To find specialty items, utilizeonline stores or vintage retailers; don’t feel limited to what is justin your local hardware store.Bringing natural wood and metal elements into the design isanother way to achieve a home that blends with its coastal surroundings.On the exterior incorporating board and batten onthe siding, or shutters, make a home stand out. For windows, thegrid style, three over one, creates a lovely open yet timeless look.However, consider contrasting colors for something a little moreinteresting, for example black windows on a white house give itan elegant and distinctive look. Metal roofing is another desirableoption, however mixing shingles and metal roofing can be a greatway to save costs and make a house look more customized. Forexample, a shingled home with a metal porch can look fantastic.For natural touches inside the home, consider wood flooring, accentwalls, and other features. Heart pine is the most popular andclassic, but rustic oak and other woods in a character grade lookfantastic and have natural variations to give your home personalstyle. Exposed ship lap featured on wainscoting, accent walls, orbed walls looks wonderful, but this popular feature can be overdone.Consider accent walls such as bed walls or ship lap wainscotingto bring the touch into your home. Also, don’t be afraidto change things around, for example, shifting the placement ofship lap planks to vertical is an easy way to make your home feelspecial. Also exposed rafter tails on a new home and barn doorswith reclaimed wood give the design that rustic look that reflectthe casual culture of life on the coast.
