Coastal Organic, the new sustainable design trend
Coastal organic is a new design trend that incorporates sustainable, wellness-based elements, focusing on interiors that feel open, clean and relaxed while complementing lifestyle, weather and architecture. Taking over San Diego, Calif., the look is inspired by naturalism, breathable spaces and the beach.
This look highlights San Diego’s signature indoor-outdoor living by using materials and layouts that flow smoothly between patios, decks and indoor spaces. Natural color palettes and fabrics create a calm atmosphere, while wood accents and sculptural furniture add warmth and texture.
This new design trend integrates design choices that support sustainability, lower environmental impact and promote healthier living spaces. Such design choices include using furniture and decor made from renewable, recycled, or responsibly sourced materials such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, organic cotton, hemp and cork. More healthier design options include selecting paints, stains and sealants that are low VOC to help improve indoor air quality, as well as incorporating LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances and natural light to reduce electricity use.
