Natural Seating for a Coastal Style Home

Anneke McConnell

Can you think of that favorite spot in your home, maybe that cozy corner of your living room or bedroom that invites you to curl up with a comfy blanket, cozy pillows, or maybe a drink and good book or magazine? 

When I was growing up, I remember having a hanging rattan chair in the corner of my bedroom that I LOVED! To be honest, I have no recollection of where exactly my parent’s got it from, but it was undoubtedly special to me.  It was a pretty unique options for a teen at the time.  I remember reading a ton of great books in that hanging chair and having girl chats with friends as a teenager.  I really wish I had a photo to share!

Well…fast forward to today and guess who has been pleading and begging for a cool hanging rattan chair in her bedroom when we renovate? Yup!  Annabelle is ALL about it!  Should I even be surprised? Even though our plans to renovate got postponed this past Spring 2020 because of Covid-19, we had already received Annabelle’s new rattan chair from Serena & Lily.  

We still plan renovate the upper level of our beach house this upcoming Spring of 2021 (knock on wood),  but in the meantime, we set up the hanging chair in our master bedroom next to the window. The kids like to hang out in there during the day anyway with the dogs and water view, so it works out ok for now.

As you can see below, even our sweet puppy Autumn is a huge fan of the chair.  I still can’t believe she just fell right asleep while I was taking photos! The trick was to place her comfy dog bed in there before adding a blanket over the top. She just nestled right in and relaxed.

When this natural hanging chair arrived at our home and we got it unpackaged, I could tell right away that it was made with the quality that Serena & Lily is known for. The design is beautiful, comfortable, and allows for the breeze to blow through on a warm day.  I love that it is also available in a white color (outdoor option too) as well as a double seater option in natural rattan and crisp white trim.  The heavy duty loops and rope make the chair super sturdy for hanging.


We added a couple of Serena & Lily pillows for a pop of fun color.  This blue and white outdoor pillow has a fun pattern and performance friendly fabric. They have a beautiful and fun variety to fit different coastal styles. I have been happy with EVERY item from Serena & Lily that we have put in our beach house, so whether it is a decor item, such as a pillow, blanket, or my favorite seagrass tray or a staple piece of furniture, I can’t recommend them enough.

Small Bathroom Design Idea

It’s a quick post today for this Coastal Rustic Bathroom design concept and it was so fun to put this together! I love the beautiful brass detailing in the round black mirror, the custom coastal artwork by Alison Junda, and not to mention faux olive branches are having their moment right now and provide a pretty touch of green. Between the grasscloth and tile, and deep teal of the bath towels, I hope this design inspires you!

Coastal Interiors: Coastal Modern Living Room

Home Blog Posts, Living Room, InteriorsAnneke McConnell

The New Year is off with a bang as we are now back into our routine as a family and the kids are back in school.  I'm excited for the year ahead with more design work, my Blogging for Biz and Goal Achievement groups, as well as personal endeavors for our family.  I have traveling HIGH up on the list!

I often post more designs on Instagram at @coastalinteriors, but am making it my goal to post my designs on the blog so they are easier to find for you.  Please comment below or on social media if there are particular topics you'd like me to share about in the future.

 

Here are a fews ideas I'm contemplating:

  • How To Decorate While In Transition: for example, you know you are moving in the near future.
  • Home Building Series: we have been through this process ourselves and my father in law is a builder, so I think this could be beneficial to those of you interested in the process.
  • The Look For Less: sometimes we like the look, but not the price.  What are your thoughts on a series that helps you achieve a similar look on a tighter budget.
  • The Process of Organizing and Decluttering for a home you LOVE.
  • How to Create a "Decorating Plan": it's hard when we would like it all done at once, but it's not always possible.

 

I 'd love to know your thoughts! These are specifically ideas for the "Home" side of the blog.  I will also be adding more to the "Fashion" side as well, but that's another post!  

On another note, I'm considering adding a few contributors to the site, so if there are other topics you are interested in for Coastal Collective Co., I'm all ears. I'm leaning toward Food/Kitchen, because who wouldn't want to learn more about tasty coastal food?!  And possibly Health/Wellness/Activities because it is important to me to share more about a positive life.

Enjoy your day!

Coastal Interiors: Casual Chic Living Room

Edesign, Home Blog Posts, Interiors, Living RoomAnneke McConnell

It makes such an impact when you have at least one piece of furniture or home decor that has character and personality to it.....one that really speaks to your taste and interests. Today's design features a larger piece of furniture, a sofa, that has a unique style to it. I LOVE it!

Everything else in the design is pretty neutral, including natural rug which lends a more casual sophisticated vibe, all while grounding the space.

I'd suggest adding a different pop of color here and there throughout the seasons to change things up a bit.  This is easily accomplished through changing out curtains, pillows, blankets, even items such as candles, baskets, etc.

Also, be sure to check out the NORDSTROM Half Yearly Sale.  It's one of my favorites to snag amazing quality items for less.  I've shared a few below, but if you've got boots, coats, New Year's Eve dresses or outfits on your list, check it out!

Anneke
