  —Getting in the Christmas SpiritThe turn of seasons ushers in winter&#039;s quiet reprieve, a stillness that bids us slow down and savour shorter days. Winter opens up room for the soul to reflect. As soon as December 1st hits, I go into Christmas mode! I start by taking time to slow down and really soak in the joy of the season. This year, I’m going to be really intentional about pressing pause and making time to snuggle up with a cuppa of spiced mulled wine. I’ll light a cranberry scented candle, put on my favourite Christmas playlist or movie, and get cosy on the couch with a chunky knit blanket. Slowing down and creating little moments of hygge (a Danish and Norwegian concept of contentment and wellbeing through savouring life&#039;s simple pleasures) is key for feeling that holiday magic. Hygge can mean so many things to different people… to me it means lingering over mugs of hot cocoa and plates of homemade cookies while (hopefully) watching the snowflakes drift lazily to the ground. It&#039;s long walks bundled up against the elements, rosy wind-bitten cheeks, collecting shells and sea glass along the shoreline…When you spend the holiday season along the coastline, time drifts away like seashells floating at high tide. The crash of the waves, the smell of the salty air - the ocean has an undeniable allure that calls to something deep within me. There is a certain sense of enchantment and I admit, I certainly have some kind of love affair with the ocean. ‘Coastal hours’ are less hurried and in harmony with the natural rhythm of the waves. The jangling bells of docked boats and the call of seagulls replace the incessant dings and rings of everyday life. If you&#039;re lucky enough to spend the holidays beside the sea, cherish this slower pace and each salty reminder to pause, unwind, and truly immerse yourself in the sensory delights of the sea.





















  
  






  

  



  
    
      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      
    
  

  













  —Create Christmas Magic: Decorate Your Tree with Heartfelt OrnamentsOne of my most beloved Christmas rituals is heading to the local tree farm and selecting the perfect real fir tree. I meander up and down the rows of festive evergreens, inhaling that unmistakable pine-fresh aroma as I search for just the right height and shape.My colour scheme is simple yet elegant – creamy whites, champagne gold, and accents of metallic for a touch of understated sparkle. The look is minimalist and timeless. I begin with bright snowy white at the top and gradually blend into a warm antique gold tone nearer the bottom. It creates a stylish gra ]]></description>

  —Rugged Coastal Style: The Coastal Grandpa Aesthetic Trending for 2024While coastal grandma style has been dominating beach house decor with its feminine and romantic vibes, 2024 is shaping up to be the year of the coastal grandpa. This emerging design trend puts a rugged, masculine spin on the breezy nautical look by emphasising worn, vintage furnishings and a relaxed colour palette. We think that the coastal grandpa trend has real longevity thanks to its effortless sophistication. This look conveys polish without pretension through its focus on vintage, reclaimed and natural materials. It channels the same breezy attitude as coastal grandma style but with added cosiness from textured fabrics and furnishings. The timeless, collected aesthetic gives it an enduring appeal - this is a trend with real staying power. Coastal grandpa feels familiar yet fresh, with a classic sensibility that will remain stylish for years to come. We&#039;re rather smitten with how this trend makes coastal living relaxed through its emphasis on comfort, character and authenticity.This look resonates for those wanting a lived-in, storied style for their abode. This trend also appeals to those appreciating modern farmhouse and industrial styles thanks to its overlap of woods and artisanal appeal. Coastal grandpa has an adventurous spirit with its use of antique travel and sailing relics. The overall effect is beach houses that feel curated by well-traveled gentlemen who appreciate character and patina. For seafaring decor with an emphasis on vintage, natural materials and unintentionally stylish imperfection, embrace the coastal grandpa vibe.Coastal grandpa celebrates weathered woods, leather accents, natural textures and an unstudied mix of collected pieces. Forged metals, woven abaca, and faded indigo hues bring a rugged sensibility that provides contrast to the softness of coastal grandma. The vibe is dominated by organic textures and colours - think rough wooden furniture, natural woven baskets and textiles, distressed leather and sisal rugs. The palette sticks to relaxed hues like warm whites, sky blue, sand, and terra cotta. Pieces are meant to look like they’ve been collected over time and have a salt-weathered patina that gives them character. The overall effect is inviting, grounded spaces that feel well-worn and unintentionally styled. Coastal grandpa decoration boasts an abundance of personality and thoughtful imperfections.

  —Understanding CreativityBefore we dive into the tips, let&#039;s take a moment to understand what creativity truly means. Many people have a preconceived notion that creativity is solely reserved for artists, writers, and musicians. Nevertheless, the reality is that creativity resides within each and every one of us – whether you&#039;re an accountant, scientist, or a stay-at-home parent. It&#039;s the capability to think beyond boundaries, even question conventions, and generate distinctive solutions.Creativity is not about producing a masterpiece every time (in fact, an obsession with perfection is often a common cause of decorating fatigue… so let’s try and avoid that!; instead, it&#039;s about embracing imperfections, taking risks and being open to new ideas. It&#039;s about looking at things from a different perspective, thinking critically and exploring the world with curiosity. Sometimes, you need to take a closer look at what&#039;s right in front of you to gain a fresh perspective. If you feel uninspired, it&#039;s usually because you&#039;re stuck in rigid thinking patterns. Make a conscious effort to approach challenges from new angles. —Where Does Creativity Come From?Creativity comes from within, but it&#039;s also shaped by our environment, experiences, encounters and interactions. Creativity isn&#039;t some mystical power - it lives within all of us. Oftentimes, we shut down creativity by telling ourselves we aren&#039;t ‘creative types.’ But the reality is our brains are wired for innovation. The key is tapping into it.Creative people are often those who are not afraid to take risks, redefine boundaries, and embrace those challenges. Time and time again, I have seen that inspiration emerges from unexpected sources such as objects and moments, shaping new ideas. Engage all your senses and look for interesting details. Play with ideas without overanalysing. Don&#039;t be afraid to be a little unconventional!Creativity thrives when we nurture skills like curiosity, flexibility and imagination. It emerges when we make space for spontaneity and play. Inspiration strikes when we expand our perspectives and make connections between seemingly unrelated things. Keeping an open, growth-oriented mindset allows our creative juices to flow freely.

  The Science Behind Each Unique Beach Sand Colour





















  
  



 


  From pink to black with the spectrum of colours in between, the world&#039;s beaches are adorned with incredibly diverse origins and stories just as captivating as their vibrant colours.





















  
  






  The diverse colours of beach sands form a rather captivating rainbow across coastlines that reveals nature&#039;s splendour through the story of each region&#039;s distinct geology and marine ecosystems, and elemental forces that craft each grain and create nature&#039;s magnificent palette. No two beaches are identical, as each grain carries the signature of surrounding rocks, minerals, shells and life, combining in endless variations to display nature&#039;s boundless creativity. Let’s take a closer look…





















  
  



 


  

  



  
    
      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      
    
  

  













  —The Colourful Origin Stories Behind the World&#039;s Beach SandsBeach sands come in a rainbow of colours that stem directly from their distinct local geologic and marine sources. The source of the sand&#039;s colour lies in its composition. Here&#039;s an overview of what gives common beach sand colours their distinct hue.—Pristine White SandsThe quintessential bright white beach sand is created by ground up coral reefs and eroded limestone. Tropical islands sitting on limestone and surrounded by coral reefs tend to have the whitest sands, like those of the Yucatán Peninsula, the Bahamas, and certain Caribbean islands. The white coral skeletons and calcium carbonate limestone erode into fine sand grains of calcium carbonate. The white Bahama beaches, like those on Harbour Island, come from the island’s foundation of aeolian limestone that gets ground down by wave action. Bermuda and the Cayman Islands also sit on ancient coral reefs, creating their famed pink and white sands. The calcium carbonate crystals reflect sunlight, giving the water a crystal clear turquoise tint. The white crystals reflect sunlight, giving the water that stunning and famous turquoise glow.—Black Volcanic SandsVolcanic activity creates the black and dark grey sands found on many Pacific and Atlantic islands. Dramatic black and dark grey beach sands result from volcanic rocks and minerals eroded by the pounding surf. Hawaii, Canary Islands, and Iceland are renowned for beaches with black sand consisting of broken up basalt, obsidian and other dark volcanic rocks. Mauna Kea black sand beach on Hawaii&#039;s Big Island owes its colour to black lava rock. Iceland&#039;s famous Reynisfjara beach gets its black sand from the nearby basalt cliffs and offshore basalt columns that pound into dark grains. Volcanic islands have abundant black sand beaches due to their active geology. Dark minerals like magnetite and hematite are also common sources of black sand grains on volcanic islands.

  —Immerse Your Senses: How the Ocean Captivates Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and TouchThe ocean engages us fully in the present moment through this symphony of sensations. But how exactly does the sea work its sensory magic? The science reveals the many ways the ocean&#039;s dynamic sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and tactile sensations synchronise with our physiology to relax the body and focus the mind. By exploring the mechanisms behind the ocean&#039;s stimuli, we gain insight into the profound multi-sensory experience happening each time we gaze at the waves or dip our toes in the seafoam.Many scientific factors underlie the unique sensory impacts of the ocean. Here are some of the key mechanisms at play:—1 / Sight The visual landscape of the ocean is endlessly dynamic, from the surface patterns made by wind and waves, to the interplay of light, colour, and movement. Studies show that gazing at the ocean elicits a relaxed, meditative state, as the ever-changing seascape captivates our attention and brings a sense of peace.The colour palette of the sea spans the entire spectrum, shifting with water depth, weather, time of day, and marine life. Sparkling blues, aquamarine greens, foamy whites - the gradations of colour are virtually infinite. Underwater scenes reveal vivid new hues, like the fiery oranges and reds of coral reefs. Some marine creatures are living works of art, with ornate shells, neon bodies, and rippling, silvery schools of fish.Our eyes may perceive optical illusions at sea, like the superior mirage that makes distant ships hover off the horizon. Or we may experience awe at phenomena like bioluminescence - the ability of some organisms to glow in the dark sea. Vision reveals a dynamic seascape that immerses us in its utter beauty.

  —The Shore Thing: My Love Affair with the Coastal LifestyleThere&#039;s just something about being by the coast that speaks to my soul. As soon as I arrive at the beach, I instantly feel a sense of calm wash over me. For me, the coastal lifestyle represents a chance to relax, unwind, and escape the stresses of everyday life. When you are by the ocean, there&#039;s a sense that time moves a little slower and the little things matter more. The sound of the ocean waves is the soundtrack to my happiest moments. The smell of the saltwater breeze instantly transports me to my place of zen. The beauty of the ever-changing tide is nature&#039;s art show just for me. The sea is truly where I feel most at peace, relaxed and inspired.One of the things I love most about the coastal lifestyle is the casual, beachy decor that goes with it. Light, airy spaces, weathered, whitewashed furniture that isn&#039;t worried about getting some sand on it. Colour palette choices like watery blues, seafoam and sea glass greens, and sandy tans create an airy, beachy feel. Textures like rattan, driftwood, shells and netting reference the natural elements I love.But why are we so drawn to the sea, read on…





















  
  



 


  

  



  
    
      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      
    
  

  













  —What Makes the Ocean So Captivating?For centuries, humans have been attracted to the sea and the promise of adventure, tranquility, and renewal it offers. What is it about the endless blue and rhythmic tides that calls to our inner spirit and imagination?A Sense of Awe and Wonder — There is something about standing at the edge of the ocean and gazing out at its vast expanse that fills us with a sense of awe. The sheer size and depth of the oceans covers over 70% of the planet, reminding us of our own smallness in the grand scheme of things (and I am pretty short as is). We stand in awe of the ocean&#039;s raw power displayed through towering waves, high tides, and strong currents. The combination of beauty, strength, and scale inspires feelings of wonder.The Rhythmic Nature — The ocean has its own rhythms, tides, and cycles that we find comforting in their predictability. The steady beat of the waves rolling onto the shore grounds us when we feel adrift. There is a pattern and flow to the rise and fall of the tides that we appreciate on a deep level. The ocean reminds us that there are forces larger than ourselves always at work in the background of our lives. We find solace in that sense of order and consistency.A Place of Rest and Relaxation — The easy, relaxed atmosphere of the seasi ]]></description>

  —Coastal Hygge: Relax and UnwindThe change of seasons is the perfect time to focus inwards and make self-care a priority. When the cooler weather beckons us inside and the hustle and bustle of summer fades, autumn presents the ideal opportunity to devote time to reflection, mindfulness, and nurturing our mental and physical wellbeing.As the air turns crisp, purposefully carve out time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. The serene setting of the coast is the ideal backdrop for practicing mindfulness as you tune into the present moment and the sensations around you.Make relaxation and inner calm the focus during the quieter, introspective days of the autumn months. Declutter your mind, journal about your thoughts, feelings, and personal growth. Prepare warm drinks that induce tranquility, like honey-lavender tea, spiced apple cider, or pumpkin spice lattes. Enjoy the process of creating nourishing meals to boost your immunity and energise you from the inside-out. By intentionally prioritising self-care and dedicating time for your overall wellbeing, you can fully immerse yourself in the cosy hygge mood of the season. Emerge renewed, refocused, and re-energised as you transition into the later seasons ahead. Read on for some tips and rituals to induce a little hygge by the coast…

  The Charm of Coastal Autumn: Decorating for the Season





















  
  



 


  This autumn, allow your coastal decor to reflect the magic of the season and  immerse yourself in autumn’s charm, inspire reflection and evoke hygge.





















  
  






  As the crisp autumn air arrives, it&#039;s time to transform your coastal home into a cosy, hygge-style retreat. While beach houses (or the coastal aesthetic overall ) evoke carefree summer days filled with ocean breezes and sun-warmed sands, the coming of autumn means chilly winds and grey skies... Here are some decorating ideas to make your coastal-style abode warm, welcoming and autumn-ready.





















  
  



 


  

  



  
    
      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      
    
  

  













  —Autumn Decor Ideas: Transform Your Coastal Home into a Hygge HavenAs the summer hustle subsides, autumn brings a much-welcomed chance to slow down and reflect. The autumn season conjures nostalgic feelings - cosy jumpers, crisp air, warm drinks, crackling fires. It&#039;s a time to step back and appreciate the simple pleasures in life.Decorating our homes for the season allows us to immerse in those emotions and vibes. By transforming our spaces to match the season, we can truly embrace the spirit of autumn. With a few hygge-inspired touches, you can make your coastal home feel like a welcoming retreat. So why not embrace “sweater weather” among the dunes and let your coastal-style home become your autumnal anchor against coffee-scented breezes and crisp, salt-tinged air. Follow these tips to create a snug hygge-style retreat:Incorporate Autumnal Colours — Autumn’s colour palette lends a warm, welcoming look that contrasts summer&#039;s airy brights. Trade white and tan for richer layers of crimson, ochre, amber, chestnut and brick red. Pops of bronze and copper add an earthy, autumnal feel. These jewel-toned hues pair beautifully with coastal blues for a soothing, natural look.Use Natural Textures — Textures also reflect autumn&#039;s depth and substance. Swap the beachy linen and for cosier fabrics like wool, brushed cotton, cashmere and velvet in comforting weaves like cable knit and herringbone. Use raw, tactile materials like jute like jute, linen and cotton for an earthy look. Layer wool throws at the end of sofas or beds. Add warmth underfoot with natural fibre rugs and plush pillows on hard seats. Display natural objects like driftwood, seashells and greenery. Allow textures and scents to engage the senses.Layer Lighting — Welcome shorter days with warm lighting. Use amber bulbs in lamps and pendants, and add flickering candles throughout. Try a mix of overhead lights, table lamps and sconces. Flickering candles add hygge ambience to coffee tables, mantels and windowsills. Dimmer switches allow you to control the mood.Add Cosy Furnishings — Swap breezy rattan and wicker for substantial wood furniture with soft upholstery and plush pillows. Bring in armchairs and ottomans perfect for curling up with a blanket and book. Create Hygge Nooks — Carve out small spaces just for relaxing and ‘cosying up’ after long autumnal walks by the sea, like a padded window bench, a cosy fireside loveseat or a breakfast nook. Layer with blankets, pillows and books.Organic Textures and Decor — Natural textures and ocean motifs invoke the beauty of autumn on the coast. Display driftwood, seashells, fishing nets and glass floats. Use organic elements like woven baskets, ceramic vases, wool blankets and leafy plants. Incorporate beachy abstract art in warm metallic frames. Use your autumnal coastal decor to create mindful moments.With thoughtful embellishments that channel the essence of autumn, your home can become  ]]></description>

  Designing Calm, Elegant Spaces Inspired By the Ocean





















  
  



 


  There is something profoundly peaceful about spaces influenced by the coastal aesthetic. 





















  
  






  The ocean has an innate tranquility and splendour that we aim to capture in coastal interiors. Much like standing on the shoreline when the breeze hushes and the waves gently lap, the goal is to create spaces that instil a sensation of deep serenity, freedom, timelessness, and calm. Here are some tips how to embrace the coastal aesthetic for a home decorated with the peaceful beauty of the ocean in mind.





















  
  



 


  

  



  
    
      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      

        

        

        
          
            
              
                
                
                  
                  
                
                
              
            
          

          
        

      
    
  

  













  —Design Coastal Elegance: How to Craft a Sophisticated Seaside DecorI&#039;m back today to share some tips for creating beautiful, elegant coastal interiors that embrace the emerging &quot;quiet luxury&quot; trend. This look combines high-end elements with a relaxed, zen-like simplicity. Follow these 8 tips to bring the spa-like atmosphere of a 5-star beach resort right into your own home.Create a calm palette. Stick to soft, neutral wall colours like barely-there blues, greens, taupes, and ivories. Paint or select furniture in these quiet tones. Then add interest with texture - think rough driftwood tables and cosy linen sofas.Choose natural materials. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, jute, and wool add warmth and a subtle luxury feel. Use organic textiles for window coverings, pillows, throws, and rattan or bamboo for furniture. Natural seagrass or sisal rugs also fit perfectly.Display collected treasures. Gather special seashells, smooth stones, coral, or sand dollars from your beach adventures. Arrange simply on open shelves or in glass bowls. This creates an effortless coastal elegance.Incorporate wood accents. Natural wood finishes connect us to nature. Look for tables or shelves made from raw edged reclaimed driftwood. Or select furniture with warm cedar or oak finishes.Add refined nautical touches. Display a vitrine shelf stacked with white coral and shell-shaped candles. Or hang an abstract rope art piece on the wall. These elevated marine touches whisper luxury.Show off the views. Frame beautiful ocean vistas by hanging sheer linen panels on windows and glass doors. This filters light softly and adds a touch of breezy privacy. For homes without water views, hang seascape art or classic nautical painting to conjure up memories of days by the shore.Create designated relaxation zones. Carve out separate sitting areas with wicker chairs, benches, or chaise lounges. Layer in wool throws and linen pillows for quiet comfort.Let the breeze flow in. Open windows beckon the fresh ocean air indoors. Strategically placed ceiling fans also keep the air circulating for an easy, coastal feel.Follow this formula - organic textures + elegant details + a dash of oceanfront tranquility - and you&#039;re guaranteed to design personal coastal interiors that feel both luxuriously indulgent and wholly rejuvenating.

  —Surf-Inspired Beach Houses on Cornwall&#039;s Rugged CoastTucked along the windswept shores of Cornwall&#039;s dramatic northern coastline lies Three Mile Beach, a stunning stretch of golden sand and crashing waves that serves as the backdrop for a one-of-a-kind surf-inspired retreat. Three Mile Beach is the brainchild of luxury travel maven Craig Burkinshaw and his partner Joanne Le Bon. As the founder of bespoke tour operator Audley Travel, Craig has cultivated an unmatched expertise in crafting extraordinary travel experiences worldwide. This passion and discernment is evident in every detail at Three Mile Beach, where Craig and Joanne have woven together world-class amenities with a deep appreciation for the natural surroundings. Their exquisite eye for design is reflected in the beautifully-appointed beach houses encouraging relaxation and rejuvenation. With Three Mile Beach, the globally-renowned travel experts have created more than just stylish accommodations - they have created a one-of-a-kind coastal escape that allows guests to disconnect, unwind, and reconnect with the sea and each other. This magical destination is the realisation of Craig and Joanne&#039;s inspired vision.I found myself taking deep breaths of the fresh ocean air from the moment I arrived back here at Three Mile Beach. Let’s take a look at what makes this place so magical. While the main draw is the pristine beach itself, the atmosphere and vibe are what truly set this place apart. Three Mile Beach has a come-as-you-are vibe that leaves formalities behind. Barefoot beach strolls, salty hair, wet suits, sand-dusted toes – it’s all part of the laid-back lifestyle. Here’s our review of Three Mile Beach.—Escape to Three Mile Beach — The LocationThe first thing that strikes you about Three Mile Beach is the location. Nestled amongst the rolling dunes along Gwithian Towans Beach (Towans = Cornish for ‘dunes’), one of Cornwall&#039;s most breathtaking stretches of coastline, the Three Mile Beach houses enjoy an enviable location. Comprised of a collection of 15 luxury self-catering 2, 3, and 4 bedroom beach houses (with additional smaller houses being built as we speak and available to book in 2024), Three Mile Beach offers a unique way to experience this beautiful section of coastline. The beach houses seem designed not just to admire the surrounding landscape but become one with it. Three Mile Beach gets its name from its length, an incredible expanse of golden sand perfect for long walks, swimming, surfing and simply sitting back and enjoying the soothing sights and sounds. The retreat offers the ultimate way to experience the rugged beauty characteristic of northern Cornwall. From secluded coves to crashing waves against craggy cliffs, the surrounding scenery captivates.

  —Coastal granddaughter Style: The 2023 Trend That&#039;s Making WavesThe Coastal Granddaughter design draws inspiration from the nostalgic charm of its predecessor, the Coastal Grandmother style, while presenting a fresh and contemporary interpretation of traditional design aesthetics. This fusion creates a captivating blend of heritage and modernity, resulting in a truly delightful aesthetic experience. While the Coastal Grandmother style embraces ornate vintage elements, intricate patterns, and a strong focus on comfort and familiarity, Coastal Granddaughter captures these sentiments while simplifying them. It introduces cleaner lines, lighter colour palettes, and a more minimalist approach. The shift towards Coastal Granddaughter design can be attributed to the modern generation&#039;s yearning for spaces that are both functional and visually appealing. The allure lies in the perfect balance of comfort and familiarity reminiscent of grandma&#039;s house, combined with a modern, simplistic, and light-filled ambiance that evokes the tranquility of coastal living.One of the key aspects that makes this trend so eye-catching is its relaxed, uncomplicated vibe. The look eschews fussiness in favour of casual textures and weathered patinas. Items are arranged artfully but not precisely. Beauty is found in imperfection. The coastal grandchild look is all about blending old and new, so don&#039;t be afraid to mix up different eras and elements for eclectic, collected style that feels curated but not fussy or overly precious. This new trend echoes some of the nostalgic charm of grandmillennial style but with a younger, more playful attitude. While coastal grandmother evokes somewhat more mature sophistication, coastal grandchild focuses on finding joy in the little moments.

  —Tenniscore Interiors Are Making Waves - But Is This Trend a Slam Dunk?With its heritage sporty chic vibe, tenniscore continues to serve up style and popularity both on and off the court. This fashionable new aesthetic serves up plenty of country club refinement with a breezy, beach house twist. Tenniscore style takes its cue from seaside tennis clubs, with their pristine courts, crisp whites, and casual sophistication. This look channels the sporty prep of tennis clubs into light and airy spaces designed for relaxed living.While tenniscore feels fresh and modern, its roots can be traced back decades to the privileged tennis clubs and coastal resorts of the 1920s. During this golden era, exclusive tennis vacation destinations like Florida’s Boca Raton Resort catered to wealthy socialites. Surrounded by perfectly manicured grass courts and Mediterranean Revival architecture, guests wore pristine tennis whites and socialised in elegant clubhouses. This privileged tennis lifestyle became ingrained in the popular imagination, referenced in F. Scott Fitzgerald novels and immortalised in classic films like Jean Harlow’s “Suzy” (1936). As tennis grew in popularity over the decades, the country club aesthetic expanded into suburban neighbourhoods and recreational spaces. Brands like Lacoste and Ralph Lauren also helped commercialise the leisure class tennis look through affordable polo shirts, shorts and dresses.In the 21st century, interior designers have drawn fresh inspiration from this vintage country club lifestyle. In 2015, designer Mark D. Sikes shared his “Tennis Style” home collection, merging classical furnishings with bright tennis court colours. Then in 2021, Luke Edward Hall gave tenniscore a modern, minimalist twist in a home design collaboration with Perrier-Jouët.The casual elegance of tenniscore provides a sophisticated look without feeling fussy or pretentious. The blend of athletic leisure, coastal vibe and vintage nostalgia has scored big, making tenniscore one of 2022/23’s most sought-after interior trends. Read on to find out how to create this look in your own home…

One of my latest discoveries is the talented Lucy Young. Lucy&#039;s aerial perspective seascapes transport you to serene beaches around the world. Lucy&#039;s distinct style immediately grabs your attention. Using a bold colour palette of aquatic blues and greens, she expertly blends the shades across the canvas to mimic the ocean&#039;s fluid motion.The bird&#039;s eye view is a signature of Lucy&#039;s work. Peering down at the seaside from above evokes the feeling of floating calmly above the fray. The abstract shapes of waves, sand, and stone formations take on a graphical, geometric quality. Rows of beach chairs and cabanas add hints of human presence without crowding the scene. As someone who loves the coastal lifestyle, I find Lucy&#039;s paintings soothed my soul. They captured the relaxed pace of seaside living. I felt transported to a dreamy, picturesque beach, far from the hustle of everyday life. The skies are always clear, the waves gently lap, and the seascape stretches endlessly along the horizon. If you love the ocean and want to decorate with art that evokes ocean breezes and salty air, I highly recommend checking out Lucy Young&#039;s work. Take a look at her online gallery where you can even commission your own artwork. Each piece invites you to drift into a meditative, coastal frame of mind. The gorgeous colours and serene perspectives will refresh any space.





















  
  



 










































  

    
  
    

      

      
        
          
        
        

        
          
            
          
            
                
                
                
                
                
                
                
                

            
          
        
          
        

        
      
        
      

    
  


  













































  

    
  
    

      

      
        
          
        
        

        
          
            
          
            
                
                
                
                
                
                
                
                

            
          
        
          
        

        
      
        
      

    
  


  













































  

    
  
    

      

      
        
          
        
        

        
          
            
          
            
                
                
                
                
                
                
                
                

            
          
        
          
        

        
      
        
      

    
  


  





  I regularly undertake seascape art commissions, and I can even personalise a painting to include you, your family and even your pets.

  —Beach Wedding: A Seaside Wedding FairytaleFor countless couples, the idea of an intimate seaside wedding evokes a true sense of romance. The sound of crashing waves, the feel of sand between your toes, and the salty breeze encapsulate the dreamy coastal wedding we all envision. More than just a beautiful backdrop, the beach intrinsically creates a laidback, romantic allure. Perhaps it’s the tranquility of looking out at the vast horizon or watching the sun sink into the sea. Standing barefoot with your beloved while reciting heartfelt vows brings an undeniable magic. The beach naturally sets an atmosphere of simplicity, intimacy, and wanderlust. From elegant resorts, to remote tropical locales, or your favourite beach location of your childhood memories, a beach wedding promises easygoing elegance. Sophisticated details like driftwood accents, loose floral arrangements, and gauzy fabrics perfectly complement the natural setting. A seaside palette of light blues, sage greens, and neutrals evokes effortless coastal style. But it’s the memorable moments that make a beach wedding truly special. Stealing a first kiss as the waves crash behind you. Toasting the sunset with your favorite drinks in-hand. Dancing barefoot in the moonlight with the sand between your toes.A seamless blend of dreamy romance and coastal enchantment, it’s easy to see why beach weddings are the epitome of fairytale bliss.

Follow these tips to create a chic coastal wedding:Choose a Smaller Venue: When planning an intimate beach wedding, it&#039;s key to choose a venue with the vibe and capacity you want. For a laidback yet luxurious affair, boutique hotels situated right on the sand are perfect. Historic inns with fireplaces, patios and oceanview rooms keep your guest list small while providing cozy charm. For ultimate exclusivity, rent a beach house where you have the venue all to yourself. Wineries, yacht clubs and restaurants with floor-to-ceiling views of the sea also make stylish but intimate venues for exchanging seaside vows. Limit your guest list to 50 or under to complement the boutique vibe. Smaller venues let you focus budgets on luxe details, gourmet cuisine and wow-worthy decor.Focus on the Essentials: You really just n ]]></description>

  —The Coastal Grandmother Trend: Warm, Timeless Style for the Modern HomeIf you&#039;ve been noticing more woven textures and calming neutral tones in home decor lately, you&#039;re witnessing the rise of the &quot;coastal grandmother&quot; aesthetic. This trending interior design style is all about creating a warm, cosy, and timeless look for the modern home. The term ‘coastal grandmother’ was coined by interior designer TikTok user Lex Nicoleta, who used it to describe the relaxed yet elegant beach house look favoured by wealthy, stylish grandmothers living along the East Coast, especially in iconic coastal regions like Cape Cod, Nantucket, and the Hamptons. There are a few reasons the coastal grandmother aesthetic is gaining popularity right now: (1) Nostalgia - It evokes a sense of nostalgia and comforting heritage styles, especially mid-century modern and traditional New England seaside homes. The familiarity is appealing. (2) Timelessness - Its focus on high-quality, durable materials and classics over trends gives it an enduring, investing-in-the-future feel that never goes out of style. (3) Balance of vintage and modern - Coastal grandma style blends vintage charm with clean, contemporary lines for a look that feels current yet classic. (4) Understated elegance - It&#039;s an elevated yet unfussy look befitting stylish grandmothers who value taste over trends. Graceful without being stuffy. (5) Familiarity of &quot;grandmother&quot; - It conjures happy memories of beloved grandmothers and connects to comforting domesticity.Overall, the coastal grandmother style strikes the perfect balance between trendy and timeless, with wide demographic appeal. Its soothing, artisanal approach brings warmth and personality without feeling outdated.

  —Defining the Coastal Cowgirl AestheticCoastal cowgirl style grew out of the hugely popular farmhouse aesthetic. Farmhouse decor with its rugged woods, galvanised metal, and vintage finds has been dominating the design world for years. As people looked for ways to freshen up and update the farmhouse look and feel, designers began incorporating breezy coastal elements. The coastal cowgirl style was born from this hybrid. Key elements of the coastal cowgirl vibe include:Light and airy colours like white, sea glass greens, and sandy tansWeathered wood finishes mixed with white-washed looksVintage-style coastal artwork featuring anchors, shells, and oarsWoven textures like rattan, jute, and driftwoodComfortable furniture like slipcovered sofas and wicker chairsAccent pieces featuring rope, shells, and reclaimed woodIn a nutshell, the coastal cowgirl look combines the laidback feel of a beach house with rustic flair.—Designing a Coastal Cowgirl HomeWhen designing a coastal cowgirl space, start by choosing light wall colours like cloud white or soft linen. Then bring in wood furnishings and vintage-look rugs to establish the farmhouse base. Next, weave in coastal accents through artwork, pillows, curtains, and ceramic decor. A dried starfish chandelier and reclaimed driftwood coffee table can take the look to the next level.Don&#039;t be afraid to mix old and new - this style is all about blending classic farmhouse with breezy nautical elements. Display collected seashells next to galvanised elements. Create layers that are casual, comfortable, and chic.The coastal cowgirl trend beautifully breathes new life into the beloved farmhouse aesthetic. It&#039;s the perfect interior style for anyone who loves casual coastal living but still craves (vintage, or even modern) farmhouse charm. Decorating with a blend of weathered woods, white-washed pieces, and coastal accents results in a space that feels fresh, inviting, and full of character.

  —Growing Succulents Are you looking to add some coastal style flair to your home or garden? Succulents can be the perfect addition! Not only are they low maintenance, but they also come in a wide range of colours and textures that can easily create a coastal vibe. Whether you&#039;re a seasoned gardener or a novice, this guide will provide you with everything you need to know about growing and caring for succulents to achieve that coastal look you&#039;re after.There are various types of succulents that can help create the desired coastal look. Some popular options include the echeveria, sedum, and haworthia. Echeveria plants are similar to rosettes, and their beautiful colours range from pink, green, and blue. Sedums are usually low-growing and flower in the summer. Haworthia plants are ideal for indoor &#039;gardening&#039;, as they can thrive in low-light environments and require less water.Some of the best succulents for coastal gardens include:Aeonium - Known for their festive, pinwheel shaped rosettes in shades of green, burgundy, and variegated cream. Aeoniums bloom on tall stalks with bright yellow flowers.Echeveria - Rounded, symmetrical rosettes of fleshy leaves come in a huge range of colors like blue, pink, orange and more. Flowers appear on tall stems.Sedum - With over 400 species, sedums display interesting leaf shapes like spirals, spikes, and trailing stems. Ideal for rock gardens.Senecio - This large genus includes string of pearls with its rows of spherical leaves on trailing stems and blue chalk sticks.Graptopetalum - Also called leatherpetal, these have striking rosettes shaped like starfish or roses. Grow them en masse for bold texture.—Succulents - Soil, Potting and WateringSucculents require well-draining soil, as they do not like to sit in water for too long. Mixing regular potting soil with sand or perlite can help improve drainage. Choosing a pot with drainage holes can also help prevent root rot. If you&#039;re planting succulents outdoors, ensure that they receive enough sunlight and are not exposed to too much water.One of the best things about succulents is that they don&#039;t require frequent watering. Watering your succulents once a week is enough, but it&#039;s always better to check the soil&#039;s moisture level before doing so. The general rule for watering is to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again.
