Coastal and beach style is known for natural textures like wood, neutral hues, and soft blues. It is a light and airy decor style that is often traditional but can have a touch of modern elements (transitional). 

There are many different design worthy window treatments that can bring a touch of seaside into your home. Here are our favorite window coverings for a coastal chic look. 

1 | Interior Shutters

Interior shutters recall visions of a classic seaside home. This window treatment is timeless, highly desired for its full functionality, and is the only window covering to actually add value to your home. Interior shutters come in both wood and faux wood, allowing you to have them installed in any room in your home for a seamless and cohesive look. Shutters also have many options for customization, including slat width, hidden tilt, safety locks, and so much more. They come in a variety of colors and stains, however, for beach decor we recommend white or gray interior shutters.

2 | Natural Wood Shades

Bring the look of nature into your home along with a big punch of texture with a natural wood shade. The woven pattern creates a casual and organic look for your windows. These shades are made of bamboo or other natural woven wood fibers (such as reed grass) and come in a variety of wood finishes. You can also opt for different customizations, such as top-down, bottom-up, or upgrading with a motor for large or hard-to-reach windows. If you have small children or pets, we recommend going cordless. 

3 | Roman shades

The soft pleats of fabric of roman shades capture the flow of the ocean waves and the fluffy look of the clouds over the sea. Roman shades are a wonderful fabric treatment that give you endless options of fabric, weave texture, color, and pattern. The possibilities are endless to create a look that is truly your own. Go bold with a navy tone-on-tone pattern or create a neutral backdrop with a sand-hued linen. You can also opt to add room darkening or blackout linings and select from different pleat styles, from the soft and round classic look to a more structured modern straight pleat. If you have small children or pets, we recommend going cordless. 

4 | Roller Shades

Roller shades are perfect for those who have a more transitional style of coastal decor and want a more modern window covering. Roller shades are also great for large and oversized windows. These roller shades roll up into a neat stack at the top of your window and come in a variety of colors, textures, and fabrics. If you have hard-to-reach windows or have pets or small children, we recommend motorizing your roller shades for convenience and safety.
