How to Style Coastal-Inspired Wallpaper for a Stylish Living Room

Transforming your living space into a serene coastal retreat has never been easier with our botanical wallpaper. Featuring an Indian-inspired design in soft greens and whites, this wallpaper is perfect for creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere in your home.

Let me pass along a few tips and inspiration to help you achieve that perfect coastal look — without it feeling too stuffy or like you’re overdoing it.

This botanical wallpaper beautifully captures the essence of coastal living by blending natural, flowy motifs with a calming color palette. The soft blue-greens evoke the peacefulness of lush sea foliage, while the block printed motifs add a touch of elegance. Perfectly aligned with both Casual Coastal and Preppy Grandmillennial style, it creates a space that feels airy, natural, and inviting — ideal for relaxation and entertaining alike.

How to Style It in Your Home

Choosing the Furniture

Keep things light and bright! Think whitewashed or light-stained wood furniture — a sofa in linen or cotton would look amazing. To add a pop of color and interest, toss in some cushions in pastel shades or classic stripes, especially if they look a little worn-in or vintage. That relaxed, beachy feel is what we’re after. Take a look at this vintage-inspired striped fabric: you can choose from various textile options—Belgian Linen being a favorite!—or explore this charming throw pillow for inspiration.

Mixing Vintage and Modern Touches

One of the best ways to add personality is by combining vintage coastal pieces with sleek, modern decor. For example, old sailor lanterns, driftwood sculptures, or maritime artifacts can give your space character. Then balance that out with soft throws or floral vases for a little feminine charm. It’s all about that layered look that feels thoughtfully curated.

Playing with Textures

Textures are your friends here. Use woven baskets, linen throws, jute rugs, and cotton pillows to add warmth and tactile interest. Mixing smooth modern finishes with rougher natural elements creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere that’s both stylish and relaxed.

Decor Tips

For a fun splash of color, hang some modern art with bold abstract motifs that play nicely with the calming wallpaper. Vintage nautical accessories like an old compass or a rustic oar can also bring that authentic seaside vibe.

Lighting

Go for warm, ambient lighting to keep the room feeling cozy. Wicker or rattan pendant lamps and table lamps with linen shades add a soft glow. If you want a bit of modern edge, try installing some LED strips behind shelves or picture frames to highlight your favorite decor pieces.
