Coastal Lighting

Whether you have retired to a beach community, own a special vacation home, or want to create a coastal paradise in the suburbs, proper lighting is key to creating a peaceful, serene effect! Coastal style lighting is rising dramatically in popularity, and widely available (see our Coastal Lighting store to browse our favorite styles).

Whether you're a nature enthusiast or seeking a coastal-yet-modern look, there is a coastal lighting style for you. When you're browsing, look for these features.

• Nautical Elements. Many coastal lighting styles feature nautical looks – clean, simple lines combined with rust or metallic finishes. From outdoor lighting to elegant chandelier designs, nautical styles always work well in coastal homes.

• Shells/ Natural Materials. The natural beauty of shells and stone are used more and more frequently in lighting design, with absolutely stunning results. Use of natural materials means that each piece is unique, with a handcrafted appeal. Serene earth tones subtly enhance the beauty of coastal style homes.

• Tropical Fans. Indoor and outdoor ceiling fans with oversized blades (often palm-shaped or wicker) provide an easygoing touch – and ocean breeze year round! These help keep beach homes comfortable, and can even reduce your air conditioning bill.

• Novelty Lamps. For a fun (and no-fuss) addition to your coastal home, consider a Coast Lamp in one of many beach-themed designs. They are hand painted, and often feature genuine shells or other accents.

With a couple of key coastal lighting pieces in your home, you can truly transform your space into a seafaring paradise! Shop today to take advantage of up-to-the-minute trends in coastal lighting design.
