When we think of coastal interiors, the color blue often comes to mind—reflecting the endless sky and serene sea. But coastal living is not confined to shades of azure. At XV Stripes, we believe that the essence of coastal charm can be expressed through a variety of colors and patterns, offering a fresh perspective on seaside-inspired décor. Here’s how you can embrace coastal interiors without being limited to blue, featuring some of our standout wallpapers and products.

1. Embrace Neutral Tones:

Coastal interiors can be beautifully achieved with neutral palettes that evoke the sandy shores and natural elements of the coast. Our Kelp Forest wallpaper in Parchment features soft, sandy hues with subtle textures that mimic the shifting sands of a beach. It’s perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere without relying on traditional blues.

2. Celebrate Earthy Greens:

Bring the lush greenery of coastal vegetation into your home with our Kelp Forest Vintage wallpaper. This design incorporates calming shades of green that evoke the tranquility of coastal landscapes, offering a fresh take on coastal themes. Pair it with natural materials like jute and bamboo for a cohesive look.

3. Opt for Warm Coral Accents:

Coral hues can add a vibrant and lively touch to your coastal décor. Our Seaview Mural wallpaper features dynamic patterns in shades of coral, orange, and soft pink, inspired by the vibrant marine life and underwater beauty of coral reefs. This lively design is ideal for creating focal points and adding energy to any room.

4. Incorporate Soft Grays and Whites:

For a more contemporary coastal look, consider our *Newton Creek’ wallpaper in Pebble. With its subtle gray tones and elegant feathers, it adds a sophisticated yet relaxed feel to your space. It pairs beautifully with white and light gray furnishings for a serene and modern coastal look.

5. Add Subtle Nautical Touches:

If you love the nautical theme but want to move beyond blue, explore our bespoke colour matching service with one of our Cowes collection designs, which features nautical motifs in a choice of your own palette neutral tones. This design allows you to incorporate coastal charm without overwhelming the space with traditional maritime colors.

6. Layer Textures and Patterns:

Coastal interiors are not just about color—they're also about texture and pattern. Our wallpapers are designed to complement various textures, from natural to woven fabrics. Mix and match our designs to create a layered look that reflects the varied elements of coastal living.

By exploring these diverse options, you can create a coastal-inspired space that is uniquely your own, without being limited to the classic blue palette. At XV Stripes, we offer a range of wallpapers that bring the essence of the coast into your home in fresh and innovative ways. Discover how you can redefine coastal elegance with our distinctive designs and transform your interiors into a serene seaside retreat, no matter where you are.
