How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your bedroom in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Sea Salt White (#F8F7F2) for walls, ceilings, slipcovers.
- 3Choose a rug that extends 45-60 cm beyond the bed on both sides so your feet land on softness.
- 4Bring in white linen slipcovers and curtains and rattan, wicker and seagrass weaving — the two signature materials of Coastal design.
- 5Add one statement piece: slipcovered sofa in white or oatmeal linen.
- 6Finish with warm sand (#DCCBA8) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- White linen slipcovers and curtains
- Rattan, wicker and seagrass weaving
- Jute and sisal rugs
- Whitewashed and weathered wood
- Sea-glass-toned glass and ceramic
Furniture to look for
- Slipcovered sofa in white or oatmeal linen
- Rattan armchairs with loose cushions
- Whitewashed wooden coffee table
- Sheer gauzy curtains on simple rods
- A large jute rug over the seating area
Mistakes to avoid
- Pushing the bed into a corner to save space, which makes it hard to make and unbalanced to look at.
- Relying on a single overhead light with no bedside lighting for reading or winding down.
- Choosing a rug that stops at the bed edges, so it looks like a bathmat instead of an anchor.
Budget tips
- Swap the bedding set first - new duvet cover and pillows change the entire room for the cost of one dinner out.
- Paint only the wall behind the bed as an accent; one wall uses about a quarter of the paint of the full room.
- Buy second-hand solid wood dressers and refinish them instead of buying flat-pack new.
