Spring Break was just last week and many of you are already missing the beach. There’s a way to bring the beach home to our fair land-locked city of Louisville. In my third installment of spring trends for your home, allow me to introduce coastal decor.
Just a simple piece of coral or two or a pillow can be enough to inspire you.
This big white coral is at Colonial Designs. Pair it with your favorite shell from your last trip and you have created a coastal vignette on your side table.
Another small coral and natural linen lamp on display at Tassels.

This basket of coral looks great next to the neutral chairs and neutral floral arrangement with dried flowers and twigs.

These next three pictures are from Munger Interiors in Houston, Texas. They decorated a beachhouse in Galveston Texas. These trends could translate into your home, beachside or not. Crisp whites, glass, jute accessories and mercury glass are paired with coral and navy accents.
