Furnishing your Coastal Escape

Soft hues of foamy greens and blues, sandy browns and crisp whites…can you feel the ocean? A beach home is a special oasis where you can escape from it all. Add a painted coastal chest to create a fun and exciting atmosphere or a stunning crystal blue chandelier to sweep you away.  With popular pieces like these Aqua Rattan Counter Stools, this shell-studded chest and this coastal shabby chic chest, your coastal cottage will feel cozy, calming and beautiful.

There are so many ways to make your beach place stand out. Colorful rattan chairs, heavily distressed white mirrors or tables with painted motifs will add flair and style to your coastal retreat.
The Shadowbox Coffee Table below is a perfect centerpiece to show off all the treasures you have collected from the sea. The great pleasure that having a retreat by the coast can give you and the casual and relaxed feel that you get while on vacation can be captured in the design of your living space with our beautiful coastal cottage collection.

Finding the Perfect Chandelier

Selecting the perfect chandelier is highly personal. People don’t just buy chandeliers – they fall in love with them! They know the right one when they see it and just have to have it. Chandeliers can set the tone for a room or add just the right finishing touch. They become the focal point of an entry way, dining room or living area, and while furnishings often change, chandeliers typically remain for many years, majestically shining its light over a room.

But what drives the choice of a chandelier? Is it the architecture, the interiors, the color scheme of the room or something else? I suspect that there are many factors involved, but the final choice is more personal in nature…more about how the chandelier makes us feel and the ambiance we want to create in a room.

Chandeliers in bright, bold colors brighten a room and create a mood of excitent and joy.
