Modern Coastal Cottage Interior Design Inspiration + Get the Look

This week we toured a very special property in Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina known as Duck Crossing with coastal cottage interior design by Lisa Furey. Modern Coastal Cottage Interior Design Inspiration highlights my favorite design elements and decor from the project which is a celebration of coastal best friends: blue and white. This compound even inspired a mood board with ideas to get the look of a coastal cottage kitchen.

I independently selected products in this post—if you buy from one of my links, I may earn a commission.

Modern Coastal Cottage Interior Design Inspiration

What’s up with all the coastal fever on Hello Lovely? I am clearly in ENDLESS SUMMER mode, so bring it on, mama! Onward with inspiration from lakeside cabins, fantasy beach houses, and cozy bungalows by the sea since they all suggest a slower pace, peaceful unplugged time, and a restful atmosphere.

Kitchens Gone Coastal

Ever dreamed of designing a coastal cottage kitchen? My own kitchen is very much in this spirit and features white oak hardwood flooring, Benjamin Moore White painted walls and beadboard, a fireclay apron front sink, bridge faucet, and, well, you get the idea.

I created the mood board (below) for you to consider and pin to your kitchen boards. You’ll notice the color palette is not blue and white like the South Carolina inspiration kitchen, but more in keeping with my own kitchen: neutral with light grey, white and black. Light wood tones warm the mood along with a mix of metals (but not too many!) as well as nautical (yet not kitschy) nods.

Cottage Coastal Kitchen Mood Board

01: Brass Sconce // 02: Dishtowels // 03: Paint color BENJAMIN MOORE White // 04: White Oak Flooring // 05: Kohler Artifacts Faucet // 06: Candleholder // 07: Farm Sink // 08: Cast Iron Teapot // 09: Saddle Style Bar Stool // 10: Polished Marble Mosaic Tile // 11: Handmade Moroccan Tile // 12: Industrial Sconce // 13: Seagrass Placemats // 14: Teak Stool // 15: Dutch Oven // 16: Globe Pendant // 17: Farm Table // 18: Riviera Bistro Chair // 19: Paint Color: BEHR Shiny Luster // 20: La Cornue Range // 21: Tulip Table // 22: Rug

Psssst. Is anyone springing for the fantasy La Cornue range on my board? Hey. When a girl needs another pop of black and the warmth of gold on her coastal cottage kitchen mood board, she may as well shoot the moon! Here’s another dreamy range with a friendlier price point than the La Cornue.

Back to bizness.

And blue and white blissfulness.

Sigh.

Blue Paint Color Ideas

The wall color in this powder bath may be BM Andes Summit (maybe just the lighting making it look different?) since the designer used that blue elsewhere. However, in this photo the blue appears more muted and similar to a color used in our prior home for a coastal bath: BEHR Deep Shale:

Indigo Pillows to Love

I searched for the fabric used for these custom pillows and found it for you…yay! It’s called Andromeda Japanese Style linen in indigo from Schumacher. I have had lots of custom pillows created by sewers on Etsy, and here are some possibilities in case you love the look:

Coastal Bedroom Design Inspo

Omg, have you seen the selection of classic white bedding at Serena & Lily???? Prepare to be killed directly in the face, and don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Coastal But Not Kitschy Bath

Pine Cone Hill Bedding

The designer chose bedding from Pine Cone Hill, and my experience with this brand is all positive…I have relied on Pine Cone Hill for years now for curtains, bedding, pillows, and fabric. Designer Annie Selke is one of my design heroes!

Cottage Entry’s Beautiful Built-in

One of my favorite design elements in this beautiful main house? The blue painted built-in, conveniently located near the front door. I think I’d rather have a smart and attractive piece like this for storage than a larger closet with awful bifold doors (which is what I’m currently living with).

I also love the timeless style of the bench designer Lisa Furey chose for the entryway. It could go in any number of spaces, and I can imagine designing a bedroom or dining room around the piece!

Into Beachy? Make it Easy on Yourself

If you want to bring a modern coastal cottage feel to your interiors, one of the loveliest starting points is a click away at Serena & Lily. Watch this and see if the style resonates:
