Posted by The Canningvale Team on 26th Nov 2023
Ah, the allure of coastal living - the gentle waves, the soothing colours, the tranquillity that washes over you with every breath of fresh sea air, living the dream. But what if we told you that you could infuse your bedroom with that coastal magic without sending your budget adrift? Join us on a journey to transform your sleep space into a coastal oasis that won’t break the bank.
Foundations of Tranquillity: Splash Some Coastal Colour
Building your coastal transformation begins with a strong foundation. Seaside hues like clean blues, sage and neutrals create a base for the serene escape you’ve been dreaming of, a magic that starts with our Lustro collection in white or moss - it’s not just bedding, it’s the cornerstone of your sanctuary, inviting you into a sea of serenity night after night. Dive deeper with Modella Seersucker in blue, a texture mirroring ocean ripples, turning your bedroom into a daily retreat. Or our Modella Quilt Set in blue stripe, nothing says beach house quite like a traditional nautical stripe.

Texture is Key: Light Throws and Blankets
Creating a coastal haven isn’t just about colours; it’s the texture that adds depth and interest to your space. This is where lightweight throws and blankets become the secret weapons in your coastal design arsenal. Wrap yourself in the Alla Turca throw in indigo - a deep hue mirroring the mesmerising depths of the ocean.
Or try the Waffle Blanket in sky blue. It's not just an accessory; it's a transformative piece that adds depth to your coastal sanctuary. Picture it as the final brushstroke, completing the canvas of cosiness in your bedroom.
Furniture Finds: Marketplace Treasures
When it comes to coastal aesthetics, wooden furniture reigns supreme. It’s the perfect fit for your seaside-inspired haven, a natural material that evokes the essence of driftwood and found treasures. Crafting your coastal haven shouldn’t feel like navigating a financial storm. Facebook Marketplace is a treasure trove of budget-friendly wooden furniture waiting to be discovered. And bonus, the pieces are more likely to be unique, bringing added character to your space, telling a story of seaside inspire discovery (and thriftiness!).
Picture a few key wooden pieces in the tone of your choice paired back with our Vintage Softwash bedding in forest green melange and oatmeal - an embodiment of warmth meeting style without demanding a king’s ransom.

Elevate your coastal retreat by bringing the outdoors in - after all, coastal living and nature go hand in hand. It's time to unleash your inner plant parent and transform your bedroom into a lush sanctuary. Not only do plants look fantastic, adding a touch of natural interest, but they also bring a breath of fresh air - quite literally.
Coastal Artistry: Tie the Look Together
Every coastal retreat deserves a touch of artistry that captures the essence of the sea. If your budget allows, consider supporting local artists from your favourite coastal town - they often infuse their creations with the very spirit of the shore. However, if you're sailing on a budget, fear not. The vast seas of the internet, Etsy, BlueThumb, and similar platforms are teeming with budget-friendly options.
Look for motifs that resonate with coastal living - waves, seashells, or perhaps a quaint beachside town. Look for prints and accessories that are more than just decor; we’re looking for the finishing strokes that tie your coastal escape together, turning your bedroom into a canvas of seaside serenity.
