Carolina Coastal Decor in the City

It's time to wake up the room a little from the serene feeling of the living room. So I've introduced some art here in bold colors. The artwork is rounded to mimic the round features in the cart and the colors continue the look from room to room in blue, beige, gold and orange. And of course, we need some mood lighting here on the cart as well. Notice how I've incorporated the round feature throughout the space, which keeps the feeling more feminine than hard edges. That's often the difference between a more masculine "nautical" feel to a room versus a more feminine "coastal" feel. Look back at the rooms and you'll see the round compass pillow, the round sand dollar art, the round handles on the tray on the coffee table, the round circles in the artwork and the round shape in the bar cart. It's subtle but adds to the overall effect. It's these subtle touches in design that make all the difference in creating mood and energy flow.
