The Tails of the Sea Rug looks like an ocean underfoot! Let this Everywear™ rug become the foundation for your look with its colorful fish designs and glistening acrylic strands. Place outdoor furniture atop or behind the rug; we chose neutral, easy-to-match pieces like the Paradise Cove Coffee Table and matching Side Chairs. Weather-resistant rope accents make these furnishings stand out.

Bring versatility to your outdoor oasis with reversible pillows. The vibrant Aquatore and Paradise Reef Pillows feature a seahorse or sea turtle on the front and a coral reef scene on the back. Select a wall sculpture that meshes with the coastal theme to provide decorating balance and interest. We chose the Seagulls in Waves Wall Art by Joanne Ferrara for its dimensional depiction of rushing waters.

Finally, remember to include patio curtains and an outdoor lamp for a sense of seclusion and glowing light. The Matine Curtain Panel offers several solid colors, as well as stain and water resistance. A convenient addition to your patio, the faux rattan Atwood Outdoor Lamp features a cordless, portable design, a dimmable LED bulb, and an included charging cable.

Make a Splash with the Oceanside Coastal Entryway

May 13, 2022

Coastal style creates the perfect interior entryway. Adapt it to your personal style and incorporate elements from the beach and the shore for a calm and soothing atmosphere.

Paradise makes it easy to keep your mood sunny as you decorate with serene shades of blue to mimic the ocean. The breeziness of the beach makes it feel like summer all year long. Start with a stunning focal point like a sea-inspired artwork. Choose what fits your space perfectly. Hang or place items around the entryway for a visually appealing display.

Coastal living isn’t only for the heron birds, but also the sea turtles and cute little fish as well. Place coastal-inspired accents and more on the three-tier console table with shelves for a modern coastal display. Sea life area rugs, vases, and candleholders add a relaxing vibe.

Now that you have chosen the items that work well with each other and those that show off your personality, it is important to remember that less is more. A welcoming entryway, accented with a bit of whimsy, is one that you and your guests will love.

Get the Look: Clearwater Coastal Living Room

June 15, 2018

Would you love for your living room to feel like a vacation spot? When you decorate with Clearwater home decor, you can almost hear the water rushing to the shore or the seagulls in the distance.

How did we create this look?

We used the Clearwater Reversible Striped Furniture Covers to protect the furnishings and set a cool, coastal vibe in the room. Furniture protectors are exclusive designs available only at Touch of Class®.

We tied the look together with the coordinating Clearwater Nautilus Rugs, Clearwater Window Treatments, and Clearwater Decorative Pillows.

We hung a canvas triptych over the sofa and decorated nearby walls with wooden seahorse art.

We placed a beachy console table by the recliner and topped it with a coastal centerpiece, seashell lamp, and striped wall clock.

Make a Decorating Splash with a Coastal Command Center

May 26, 2016

Does your home’s entryway resemble a cluttered shanty by the sea instead of a tidy coastal cottage? Let us help with these decorating ideas! Shape your entryway into a cute, accessible coastal command center with a charming mix of decorative pieces and handy organizers.

Click here to view all the items we used to create this look.

Start with casual organizers and hooks in light or weathered hues for a beach-inspired aesthetic. The rattan drawers of the Corvaserro Storage Cabinet will hold stray articles and keep them out of sight. Hang your keys, wraps, or parasols from the Shoreline Treasures Wall Hooks, so that the items you need most are within easy reach. Step onto the skid-resistant Rest, Relax, Refresh Foam Comfort Mat to kick off or slip on your sandals. The fun lighthouse and starfish design wonderfully complements the coastal entryway theme.

Guide the eye upward with functional wall pieces that resemble driftwood or boardwalk planks. The Relax on Beach Time Wall Clock is hand-assembled in the USA from local natural pallet wood and features cool hues. Leave messages to your family on the Weathered Chalkboard, and use the included clips to dangle notes or your favorite beach photos.

Since this splashy command center is not just utilitarian, remember to sprinkle in some beach-kissed decorative wall plaques. The four-piece Beach Memories Wall Plaque Set features realistic, dimensional resin starfish, along with coastal quotes like “You can shake the sand from your shoes but it never leaves your soul.”

Mermaid Decor to Enchant Your Home

June 19, 2015

A long-haired sea maiden flexes her iridescent tail as she glides through glimmering waters, perhaps dipping to skim the coral or explore an underwater cove. Summon this mystical princess into your home with alluring mermaid decor. Refresh your ocean theme with a mermaid accent in pretty pastels, multicolored jewel splendor, or a weathered, sun-bleached look. This enchantress will emerge from the deep blue sea to decorate your wall or table top – no water required!

If you need a place to store jewelry and small trinkets, the Pearl Beach Mermaid Figurine will happily oblige. The seashell she carries is adorned with a pearl finial and would look lovely on a nightstand or your vanity table. The Mermaid Welcome Accent invites guests into your home with a wash of soft colors and coastal charm. Place this decoration inside or out and let it captivate visitors with its scalloped design and glitter embellishments.

If you’re looking for a piece that glints and gleams, let the Joyous Mermaid Sculpture perch on your display surface. This celebratory mermaid flings her arms open as she balances on a boulder, revealing metallic and jewel shades of bronze, amethyst, and emerald. Or, if you love the wind-beaten, wave-tossed appearance of distressed coastal decor, you will adore the Mermaid Wall Plaque Set. Finished in off-white, these wavy-haired friends clutch their shell treasures, flicking their tails in opposite directions on your wall.

Make a Splash! New Trends in Coastal Decor

March 13, 2015

The avid beachcomber is always curious to see what the sea has strewn along the sands – perhaps an unusually colored shell or a sculptural piece of driftwood. Follow her lead, and scoop up some new treasures to replenish your coastal decor! These coastal decorating trends have washed ashore just in time for spring and summer.

Even if your toes are grazing the carpet instead of sinking in the sand, you can still relax and soak in the ambience of a sunny, languid beachfront. Or perhaps you’d rather escape the heat under the cool shade of the nearest palm. The tropical coastal decorating style is all about calming effects, from laid-back island living to the swaying fronds of palm trees.

The Palm Tree Shadow Triptych immerses you in a gorgeous island vision, with three canvases that depict the refreshing blue ocean. And what better than a breezy window treatment to allow the sunshine inside? Open up the Tropical Breeze Curtain Panels to enjoy the sunshine in full effect, or close them to let light filter through.

This coastal theme calls for soothing home accents, so keep your eye out for relaxing accessories. Unwind to the gentle sounds of the Shell Island Table Fountain, or take in the worry-free glow of the Coralline Flameless Candles. An accent lamp like the Capiz Tropical Fish Luminary provides you with soft light that isn’t jarring, and the Turtle Bay Sculpture will have you smiling with its diving pose.

If you prefer exploring the ocean to viewing it from afar, you’ll love the next coastal trend: mermaid decor! Delve into the ocean depths to catch a glimpse of this ocean princess flexing her tail as she glides through the water. You might even see her emerge from her cavern of the sea to moonbathe on a rock. Mermaid figurines like the Moonlight Mermaid feature the alluring enchantress resting for a moment, fin curled beneath her. Auristella will even hold your rings and soap if you let her float along on your counter top.
