Moody hues and lush comfort are part of Coastal Grandmother chic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The term \u201ccoastal grandmother\u201d has really taken the\ninterior design, fashion and lifestyle worlds by storm lately. Ever since TikTokker Lex Nicoletta<\/a> went viral with the concept in\nMarch, women and men all over America \u2013 and of all ages and generations \u2013 have\nbeen looking inwards to ask themselves, \u201cAm I actually a coastal grandmother?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer for many? A resounding \u201cYes. Yes, you are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with good reason. Coastal grandmother style embodies\nall the coziness, chicness and coolness of Diane Keaton or Meryl Streep in a\nNancy Meyers movie. Think relaxed mode. Overstuffed couches. Artfully wrinkled\nlinen. Books. Baskets. Books in baskets. You get the drift. (Oh and driftwood,\nof course!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you don\u2019t need to be a coastal grandmother is a\ncoast. Or grandchildren. Or even to be of the age when grandchildren are a\npossibility. All you need is a dream and a vision to, as Lex Nicoletta calls\nit, \u201cromanticize your own life\u201d and you too can be making an Ina Garten recipe\nat the kitchen island wearing a bucket hat and listening to Nina Simone in no\ntime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll down for our quick and budget-friendly tips on how\nto incorporate the coastal grandmother style into your home. Because you don\u2019t\nneed marble countertops and overflowing pitchers of peonies to rock this\ngrandma vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coastal Grandmother\nAesthetic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rustic wooden shelves. Lots of light. Plants. Vases. Decoys. Check!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First thing\u2019s first: let\u2019s define what the coastal\ngrandmother aesthetic is so we\u2019re all playing from the same\u2026croquet court.\nCoastal grandmother combines natural elements like light, flowers, wood and\nstone with neutral design pieces to create calming, slow-paced, streamlined and\nhomey environments. There is no conflict in the coastal grandmother world, or\nif there is it\u2019s the type that\u2019s cleared up over a nice, home-cooked meal and\nan oversized pour of oaky chard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coastal grandmother aesthetic is all earth tones and\nsoft edges. There is nothing stressful about being a coastal grandmother,\nunless you count choosing between handsome, successful men or worrying about\nhow to keep your hat on in your newly classic convertible stressful. But even\nduring those tough times, coastal grandmother can (try to) relax with a book, a\ncup of perfectly steeped tea, and an upholstered window seat looking at the\nrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pieces constructed from natural materials, like ceramic or\nwood, are 100% coastal grandmother. If you have anything made of plastic, resin\nor other manmade material, think about replacing it with a more muted, \u201cof the\nearth\u201d item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the earth, plants are a major part of the\naesthetic. After all, coastal grandmother is a relaxing, nurturing sort. So in\naddition to cut flowers, the style calls for at least a few scattered plants. A\nterra cotta herb garden in the kitchen would do the trick. As would orchids. Or\nspider plants. Or anything else you choose. As long as it\u2019s lush and green and\nbrings that little bit of nature in, you\u2019ll have hit the nail on the head. Now\nif you go build yourself a greenhouse and spend all day \u201cputtering\u201d with\ncutting shears in overalls \u2013 now that, that my friend, would be full immersion.\nLet\u2019s just start with a plant or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coastal Grandmother on a\nBudget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Learn the aesthetic and then hit thrifts and vintage stores for Coastal Grandmother looks on a budget.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re trying to get the look on a budget, you\u2019re in\nluck: coastal grandmother works particularly well for the thrifty set because a\nlot of its charm is in its weathered, worn appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick list of items you can pick up for cheap, or\nfairly cheap, at secondhand shops and estate sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Baskets \u2013 all shapes and sizes. Even beat-up ones can be upcycled for a new look.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cookbooks \u2013 the more dogeared the better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Wine glasses \u2013 perfect for sharing that tasty vintage you stumbled upon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Serving platters and unique, mismatched dishes or silverware \u2013 just the thing for hosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Pitchers or vases \u2013 for your farmer\u2019s market blooms or dried stems and stalks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Interesting design pieces \u2013 bonus points if they\u2019re ocean-related.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Heavy coffee table books \u2013 to anchor the space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Old trunks \u2013 from which your throw blankets can artfully spill.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    An appropriate storage unit is also a great idea if you’re holding onto coastal grandmother finds and furniture flips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Get your Coastal Grandmother On: Find Storage Near You.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As for upholstery or other fabrics, you\u2019re going to want\nto look for linens and cottons in pale, washed-out colors. Couches or\noverstuffed chairs can be slipcovered in neutrals, which is great if you\u2019ve got\na bright but otherwise comfortable piece begging for a new look. And every room\ncomes across as instantly more appealing with plenty of throw pillows and floor\npillows, which can be found at most major budget retailers (e.g., HomeGoods,\nBig Lots, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile you don\u2019t have to live anywhere close to a\nseashore to pick up nautical themed items, the cup overfloweth at discount\nstores the closer to the shore you go. Even grocery stores near major tourist\ntowns will have home decor and serving pieces with sea life and other marine or\nshipping themes for quite a bargain. While these types of pieces aren\u2019t a\nmust-have of the coastal grandmother look, they certainly underscore the\n\u201ccoastal\u201d part of the appeal.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driftwood, sea glass, coral, shells and any other (free)\nnatural elements you might find at the beach would also work great in a coastal\ngrandmother setting. Group them together for added impact. Think a low dish of\nsea glass and small shells next to a large chunk of coral. Or a centerpiece\nmade of several pieces of driftwood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We even like the look of old lobster pots and buoys, but\nthat might be veering a little too far into the nitty gritty of life on the\nsea. Try what works with your aesthetic, space and budget and feel it out.\nAbove all, it has to stay true to you \u2013 not just a trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"
    Ocean and boat decoys definitely add an additional flare to your home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Coastal Grandmother is more about a relaxed mood and vibe than anything else. And you can get 50% of the way there with a few candles, some marinara simmering on the stove, and an old Sam Cooke song playing softly in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The key isn\u2019t about spending a ton of money or radically refurbishing your living quarters. It\u2019s about relaxing. Making the effort to live the good life. Realizing that spending time cooking dinner, and cutting flowers, and drinking wine, and reading books all adds up to a life well spent. And that\u2019s the lifestyle each of us should be aiming for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
