Pinning East Coast decor against West Coast decor is similar to watching a battle of style between The Hamptons and Malibu. Is one better than the other? Hard to say. Both have very distinct coastal vibes. One is more refined and cozy while the other is more free and relaxed. The thing to remember: This ain’t no boat race! They’re equally winning style. Choosing one over the other (or a mix of both) truly depends on your style preferences.
Your Choice: East Coast Class Or West Coast Vibes
East Coast Pillows & Seating
In an East Coast home it is crucial to have a navy and white stripe somewhere in the house. Whether it be a pillow, a rug, or a great accent chair. It says coastal and nautical without being cliche. To bring the whole room together, a mix of blue and white prints can tie up loose ends. Adding textiles in ikat, floral, or more stripes will keep the room from feeling dull. A navy sofa or loveseat will really make a statement in the room. Layer on a cable knit throw, and you’re good to go!
