In all of my interior decorating my priority is to balance color, pattern, texture and style. Let’s start with….
Color
Coastal interiors embrace watery blues and sandy taupes.
For this room I started with the focal point which is this GORGEOUS area rug in a beautiful eye-catching geometric pattern and watery blue color with a touch of cream . See these Area rug decorating tips!
It’s flat weave design is perfect for use in a home office.

Because this sea blue color is so striking I downplayed the other colors in the space and added soft shades of cream and sandy taupe. I also introduced contrast with a touch of black in these stunning black and cream pouf ottomans.
The design adage of adding a touch of black to every room is timeless advice. A touch of black will add visual weight, contrast (which creates interest to the eye) and a youthful, more modern point of view.
For this mood board design I repeated the watery blue in artwork and accessories.
See this 60-30-10 Color Rule post for more color tips.
Texture
Adding varying textures to a room – smooth and rough – adds life and interest to a space.
The wicker baskets on the built in bookshelves, knitted poufs and end tables along with smooth metal finishes all add texture and interest:
desk:
Pattern:
This room includes various geometric patterns in the rug, inlaid boxes, striped pillows and contemporary Greek Key poufs. All of these patterns are balanced with lots of solid, non patterned surfaces and accessories.
Style
As I mentioned this Mood Board Design has Coastal Glam style. Glam metallic finishes in the desk, chandelier and table lamps add a gorgeous glam touch to this space. The relaxed beachy colors and natural materials of wicker and bark ooze Coastal charm.

My Advice to decorate a room like this is to:
Begin with one eye-catching element as the focal point (here it’s the area rug) and decorate around it bringing in the colors, textures, pattern and style that you love!
