How To Get The Perfect Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic
You may have heard about the ‘oh so’ trendy Coastal Grandmother style that’s taking social media by storm! The phrase ‘Coastal Grandmother’ was coined by TikTok creator @lexnicoleta and garnered nationwide attention because it perfectly describes a look, style, and way of life that everyone wants but never had a name for! Think Nancy Meyer’s movies like The Holiday, Something’s Gotta Give, and It’s Complicated. Other shows that come to mind are The Jane Austen Book Club, P.S. I Love You, and Grace & Frankie! Bright and fresh interiors, linen fabrics, mixed with a cozy clean wardrobe. Luckily you don’t have to live on a coast or be a grandmother to get this awesome style! Pour a glass (or bottle) of wine and watch your favorite Nancy' Meyers movie!
Why do people love this style?
It’s looks high-end and casual at the same time.
Easy to replicate.
Encourages relaxation and a slower lifestyle.
It makes us feel like a character from our favorite movies!
Below I’ve outlined 20 ways to get the look, including classic staples from our favorite movies but also few updated looks to try out! Pin for later!
Coastal Home Decor
The perfect accent piece to compliment your light-toned decor. Think plates, bowls, teacups, and vases! Idyllic for an outdoor garden party!
Check out this printable wall art in my Etsy shop! One of my faves! Customize to a variety of sizes to fit your needs! Budget friendly at only $6!
Sea-glass is timeless, light, and airy. A sea-glass vase is hands down my favorite showstopper for a table setting! Add some fresh flowers or pampas grass and you’re good to go!
Basket weavings make for stunning wall decor by adding interest and texture. It helps to break up the predominantly featured white furniture and walls!
A coastal grandmother staple is a white or off-white sofa. This one is non-negotiable! This couch is ALWAYS the centerpiece in our favorite coastal movie living rooms. (Maybe also invest in a handheld vacuum and upholstery stain remover)
Light and neutral furniture is the way to go! This one has additional interest with darker striping, silver nail head trim and turned wooden feet.
This blue is the PERFECT coastal grandmother colorway and gives the perfect beachy vibes. Plus it comes in a set so you don’t have to try to arrange that gallery wall!
If fresh flowers are out of your budget, swap it for gorgeous artificial florals!
Lastly, every coastal grandmother needs a good wooden desk so you can stay up late, working hard only to have a meet-cute with a new love interest! lol
