The Allure of Coastal Paint Colours
The concept of coastal design spurs on thoughts of seashells and sandy-hued neutrals combined with happy colour accents like cerulean blues, coral pinks and bright yellows.Coastal, however, doesn’t have to mean rustic. Modern style elements in this coastal cottage bedroom include a sleek lamp on the nightstand and a chevron-printed chair that adds contemporary playfulness against blush walls in Pristine OC-75. And with its slight pink undertone, White Opulence OC-69 on both ceiling and trim adds both continuity and contrast. Other soft, coastal paint colours to consider for your interiors include Rainforest Dew 2146-50 and Yarmouth Blue HC-150.

Exterior Colours: Cool Neutrals
Outdoor spaces in this region are every bit as important as interior ones…if not more so! A rich gray exterior backdrop, as seen here in Storm AF-700, is neutral enough for swapping cushions, pillows and curtains for an easy design update, while still making a meaningful colour statement on your home’s siding. White Dove OC-17 and Nimbus Gray 2131-50 are also much-loved Southeastern exterior paint choices.Enliven neutral exteriors with saturated colours on shutters, doors and trim. Deep chocolate Night Horizon 2134-10, vibrant red Caliente AF-290, and one of our favourite classic coastal blue paints, Turquoise Powder 2057-50 are all eye-catching choices.
