Coastal Dining Rooms that Inspire 

If you need to refresh or update your dining room, we are sharing some ideas for a coastal-styled dining room. Ideas that we hope you’ll find informative and helpful. Take a look at our inspirational coastal dining room tips.  

1. Blend Textures of Similar Colors – Coastal Dining Rooms

Blend textures of similar colors within the same room. The white sheer curtains not only provide privacy but still allow light inside the home during the day. The best of both worlds. Add a set of white ceramic vases to hold greenery. The smaller vase has faux lavender which has silver-gray foliage. For dining room seating, a set of white wicker chairs give this space its modern coastal vibe. An area rug has a blend of gray and white square patterns. A beautifully blended mix of white textures.

2. Add Warm Natural Tones

Add warm natural tones for a contrast with the white table, walls, and molding. Install a tongue and groove ceiling, woven window shades, and a wooden floor for warm natural earth tones. The contrast really makes this room stand out. 

3. Paint the Blues

Paint the ceiling and walls above the wainscoting blue. The ceiling is a lighter shade of blue than the wall color. Warm earth tones in the bench, table, chandelier, and surfboard provide a great balance of colors. The blues, whites, and warm natural tones blend so well together. 

4. Decorate with Coastal Blues and Rustic Woods

coastaldwelling_designbuild

Decorate the dining room with coastal blues, rustic washed wooden floors, with crisp white molding and walls. Hang a light fixture that resembles seashells in shape and color such as this chandelier. 

5. Mix in Woven Textures – Coastal Dining Rooms 

Coastal Dining Rooms Inspo 5 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Mix in woven textures from rattan wicker and seagrass. In this dining room, the end chairs are made from rattan wicker. Use seagrass placemats for additional woven texture. 

6. Combine the Old with the New     

Inspo 6 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Combine the old with the new. Bamboo furniture has been used traditionally as coastal furniture for many years. Mix lucite furniture, a durable acrylic material, with bamboo furniture for an updated coastal look. The mix of bamboo and lucite dining room chairs gives the room a very modern coastal decor.  

7. Light Up Your Room with a Pendant 

Coastal Dining Room Inspo 7 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories
blossominginteriors

Install a rattan pendant in your dining room. Nothing says coastal more than rattan does. Again in this dining room space, the warm wood chairs, table, and rattan pendant blend well with surrounding white colors.  

8. Use Parisian Bistro Chairs  

Inspo 8 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories
simplysingharath

A classic, the Parisian bistro or cafe chairs have always been big with coastal decor. The chairs are traditional bentwood chairs wrapped in rattan. They tend to be lightweight, sturdy, timeless, and durable. Select from a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes of bistro chairs. The contrast of crisp white with warm earth tones in the dining chair is a quintessential Parisian bistro chair.   

9. Add Rattan Furnishings – Coastal Dining Rooms   

Inspo 9 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Another classic coastal look is the use of rattan furniture and furnishings. Dining room chairs are made from woven rattan. 

10. Bring Oceanic Elements and Wall Art to the Room

Grace Hill Design believes design is in the details. As you can see, they are meticulous when it comes to the details. Install an oceanic element such as a white coral lighting fixture to make a statement.

Since Grace Hill Design says it best – “Artwork adds style and a personal connection to your space.” There are many sources of coastal wall art to select from. All in various price points.  

11. Roll Out the Jute or Sisal 

Coastal Dining Rooms Inspo 11 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Roll out the area rug made from Jute or Sisal. A Jute or Sisal Rug is a durable rug that lends itself to a coastal style. This rug is finished in a fabric wrap at each end of the rug. 

12. Mix a Timber Bench with Rattan Chairs 

Inspo 12 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Rather than using rattan chairs around the table, the designer mixed it up a bit. The dinner table has rattan chairs on one side and an informal bench on the other. Reflective of many seaside homes. 

13. Go Tropical with a Bromeliad 

Inspo 13 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Bring the tropics to the dining room with a Bromeliad plant. The bromeliad plant along with the rattan chairs adds a contrast to the white round monochromatic table.

14. Give Your Walls and Ceiling the VJ Treatment 

Coastal Dining Rooms Inspo 14 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Give your ceiling and walls the VJ treatment. Install VJ or vertical join paneling. Also known as tongue and groove paneling or wood planks. This vertical or horizontal look gives your home a more finished traditional beach house look. 

15. Maximize your Seating Options – Coastal Dining Rooms  

Inspo 15 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Get the most out of seating with a banquette seat. In years past, banquettes were typically seen in diners or restaurants. Now, more and more banquettes are found in furniture stores for residential homes. A banquette can accommodate more people at the dinner table. Which is great when you have a hungry crowd to feed. 

16. Brighten the Dining Room 

Coastal Dining Rooms Inspo 16 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Keep the windows uncovered. Sunlight brightens the entire house with a lot of windows. The white-washed ceilings add even more of a brightening effect. Enjoy the gorgeous view of the ocean. 

17. Cover the Room with Coastal Wallpaper  

Inspo 17 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Use wallpaper to cover the room for a dramatic look. Navy and white bistro chairs with a rattan bar cart look amazing. Finishing off with a rattan pendant light and beach wall art.   

18. Hang a Beaded Chandelier

Surprise your dinner guests with this masterpiece of a chandelier. A true contrast between the elegant chandelier and the table centerpiece of sea urchins, driftwood, with a Monstera leaf. 

19. Create Drama with Black Malawi Chairs

Expect the unexpected with dramatic black Malawi chairs. Bold and beautiful black pendant fixtures against a warm wood timber table. The white shutters in the background make this dining table set stand out. 

20. Add Nautical Theme – Coastal Dining Rooms  

Inspo 20 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Display your love of the ocean with a sailboat as a focal point. All eyes are immediately drawn to the sailboat when your guests enter the dining room.   

21. Add a Little Glam 

Coastal Dining Rooms Inspo 21 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Show off a Capiz-covered light pendant over the dinner table. Capiz has a sheen to the surface which provides a bit of glam to the room. 

22. Go Danish

Go Danish with Wishbone chairs. Although Wishbone chairs were designed for a mid Century modern decor, they are well suited to a modern coastal decor style. First manufactured in 1950 by a Danish cabinet maker, the chair is sleek with an ergonomically-minded wooden frame and woven seat. Because of this design, they remain popular to this day. 

23. Build an Attached Banquette  

Inspo 23 #Coastal #DiningRoom #CoastalDiningRoom #CoastalDecor #CoastalHomeDecor #BeachHouse #SeasideStyle #LakeHouse #SummerHouse #DiningRoomAccessories

Add a built-in banquette to a kitchen area. Cushions are covered in a wide striped pattern for a nautical look.
