Furnishing a seaside flat in a modern style

A seaside flat can be a perfect place to get away from hectic city life for a while. Here are some tips, ideas and photos for inspiration.

In recent years, opting for a modern and stylish décor for the seaside flat is an increasingly common solution. Here are some tips and ideas not to be missed.

Colours and materials for a stylish seaside flat

Before choosing the furnishings for a seaside flat, it is good to pay attention to the choice of colours and materials. As far as colour palettes are concerned, the best solution certainly falls on shades such as white or light blue. The former is capable of giving a sense of great brightness and freshness to the environment, the latter perfect for recalling the colour of the sea. Alternatively, other shades that can be adapted to these environments are pastel colours and neutral tones, primarily wood and sand. With reference to these two, as far as materials are concerned, the most common choice is furniture made of wood, possibly in a light shade.

Designer fabrics and accessories for the home

Accessories and design details are fundamental elements, perfect for decorating the home and giving the room the final face you want. For example, a beach house can be decorated with photographs with frames, paintings or, perhaps, some marine accessories such as shells, corals and sea stones, special vases and anything that can give a touch of personality to the environment. The choice of fabrics is also very important. The best idea is to choose heavy fabrics such as cotton, avoiding lighter models. Fabrics, be it through curtains, carpets or upholstery, are excellent decorative allies to give the room a touch of personality.

Among the most interesting products on the Arredare Moderno website is the Cattelan Italia Chennai rug. It is a model made of cotton and chenille characterised by a particular striking design.

Modern furniture and furnishing accessories: tips and ideas

The choice of furniture and furnishing accessories is fundamental in defining the style of a seaside flat. Generally speaking, to create a functional and modern environment, the ideal is to opt for furniture in natural materials that are easy to handle, versatile and of great aesthetic appeal. In this case, wood, in all its types, presents itself as the best solution. Alternatively, one could also opt for modern and innovative materials such as porcelain stoneware. The latter boasts an excellent performance from a technical point of view, accompanied by excellent aesthetic values thanks to the various effects it can produce. Furniture that cannot be missed is certainly the sofa, armchair and wall unit for a relaxation area, as well as tables, chairs and sideboards for the living area.

Among the products available on the Arredare Moderno site, the Cattelan Italia Focus sideboard boasts all the characteristics to furnish a seaside home with style. It is a model made of wood, with steel shelves and available in different finishes and colours. Distinguished by a linear and clean design, the Focus sideboard is perfect to give a touch of modernity to the environment.

Outdoor dining area for a modern and cosy ambience

In general, the kitchen area of a beach house does not have to be large. The ideal, in fact, is to devote a small space to the kitchen with everything you need, i.e. respective hob, oven and countertop. Instead, more attention must be paid to the choice of dining table. In relation to this, actually, an excellent solution could be to opt for an open-air dining room, so as to be able to enjoy the dishes in company and looking at the splendid panorama that the sea offers. As far as the table is concerned, it is a good idea to choose models that are versatile and easy to adjust, such as extendable tables.

For example, available on the Arredare Moderno site, the Duke Bontempi Casa Extendable Rectangular Table is an excellent furnishing solution for seaside homes. It is a table characterised by an aluminium structure with a top available in ceramic, marble or crystal, perfect for adding elegance and class to your living environment.
