What’s Trending in Wardrobes: Coastal Edition

Coastal wardrobe design has quietly matured, moving away from nautical motifs towards a style built on texture, soft neutral colour and weathered natural materials. This guide looks at where the trend currently sits: the chalky palettes replacing bright white and navy, the slatted and fluted door fronts creating shadow and movement, and the aged brass hardware that develops character with use. We explain which timber tones suit the look, how to mix two woods without the room feeling disjointed, and why texture does more work than colour in a British bedroom with limited daylight. There is practical advice on combining open and closed storage without creating clutter, extending the palette into other rooms, and keeping the scheme on the right side of the line between coastal and kitsch. There is also advice on where to begin when changing a single piece rather than a whole room. A closing FAQ covers colours, slatted doors, flooring and keeping a pale scheme warm....
