Neutral Coastal Living Room Designs

These three cozy living room designs feature a calming neutral base with soft wood tones and simple decor, but each one plays with a different accent color—powder blue, sea glass green, or deep navy—to give it a fresh, pulled-together look. The styling feels laid-back but intentional, making each space feel calm, clean, and easy to live in.

A few of my favorite parts about these living room designs are the colorful accent pillows, the floral coral wall art, and the coastal pendant light fixture.

If you love soft neutral tones but still want a little color in your living room, these mood boards are full of cozy ideas.

In this post, I’ve included links to all the elements in the designs so that you can recreate the look in your own home. The paint colors in the image are from Benjamin Moore.

Design #1

This living room mixes warm neutrals with soft blue and blush accents for a fresh, breezy vibe that feels calm and welcoming.

Sectional Sofa

This neutral sofa is the kind that works with anything, which is why I love it. It has a relaxed, clean-lined shape that keeps the room feeling cozy but uncluttered.

Coffee Table

The coffee table has a simple design that makes the whole room feel grounded. I like how the light wood blends in instead of standing out too much.

Area Rug

This rug brings in a soft pattern that adds some interest without taking over the space. It helps everything feel pulled together and adds a bit of warmth underfoot.

Throw Pillows

The pillows add a little color and texture without going overboard. I love mixing the soft blue, muted blush, and warm taupe—it keeps things feeling light and cozy.

End Tables

These side tables are simple but functional, and they match the coffee table so everything flows. I like that they don’t draw too much attention but still feel intentional.

Pendant Light

The pendant light adds a casual, breezy vibe to the space. It ties in really well with the natural tones in the furniture.

Blue Table Lamps

I love these lamps for their soft color; it’s just enough to add interest without clashing with the rest of the room. They also give off a really warm, cozy glow in the evening.

Candles on the Coffee Table

A tray of candles always makes a space feel more inviting. It’s a simple touch that adds warmth without cluttering things up.

Console Table

The console has clean lines and matches the rest of the wood tones in the room. It’s perfect for adding a bit of extra storage without making the space feel heavy.

Floor Lamp

This floor lamp adds just the right amount of extra lighting for reading or relaxing. The warm brass tone works so nicely with the rest of the natural palette.

Accent Chair

This accent chair adds a little extra comfy seating to the room.

Dark Vase

I like to include a vase in every room so that I have a spot to put flowers or branches.

Pillar Candle Holders

These pillar candle holders are sophisticated and perfect on the accent cabinet.

Seashell Sculpture

This seashell sculpture adds a subtle coastal aesthetic to the room.

Wall Art

I’m completely obsessed with this wall art. It’s unique and fun, and the floral design is gorgeous.

Glass Candle Holders

These glass candle holders can be used on the side table, coffee table, or cabinet.

Design #2

A blend of earthy neutrals and sea glass green gives this room a subtle coastal feel that’s cozy without being themed.

Making a few changes to a room can significantly transform the space and give it a distinct feel. Here are the elements I changed in Design #2.

Blue Accent Chair

This chair brings in a soft coastal vibe without feeling too themed. It’s a comfy accent piece that adds some personality to the corner.

Round Nesting Coffee Tables

I love how these round tables soften the lines in the room. They’re practical and playful, and the nesting design gives you flexibility with space.

Cream Area Rug

This rug is lighter and more minimal, which makes everything else in the room stand out a bit more. It adds a soft, cozy layer under the furniture.

Round End Tables

The round end tables feel a little more modern, but still go with the relaxed vibe of the room. They’re just the right size to hold a lamp or a little decor.

Light Console Table

The console is simple and light, which helps keep the room open and airy. It’s great for layering in a few accessories without stealing focus.

Design #3

This space keeps things classic with warm wood tones and bold navy accents that add depth while still feeling relaxed.

Here are the elements I added in Design #3. Feel free to mix and match elements from all three designs, or incorporate some of your own unique pieces!

Navy Accent Chair

This navy swivel chair adds some boldness without being overwhelming. It’s a cozy, grounding piece that makes the space feel finished.

Patterned Pillows

These patterned pillows bring in some texture and a little contrast. I love how they play off the navy chair without making the space feel too bold.

Dark Blue Table Lamps

These lamps are simple but do the job perfectly. Their soft glow adds warmth in the evenings without competing with the bolder navy accents.

Paint Color Matches

Conclusion

It’s amazing how just a few accent pieces and color shifts can give the whole room a new feel. I always find it helpful to see how small swaps can make a big difference, especially when I want to refresh my space without starting from scratch.
