Why It Works

Coastal dining rooms evoke seaside restaurants in the best way. A whitewashed wood table, slipcovered chairs in blue-striped linen, and a woven pendant light create a casual, elegant setting. Coral, shells, and driftwood as centerpiece elements tie the theme together without feeling kitschy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a coastal dining room redesign cost?

Costs vary widely based on scope. A cosmetic refresh with paint, textiles, and accessories can start at $500-$2,000. A full renovation with new furniture, lighting, and surfaces typically runs $5,000-$25,000+ depending on room size and material quality. Using Layoutly AI to visualize changes first helps you prioritize spending where it matters most.

Can I achieve a coastal dining room look on a budget?

Absolutely. Focus on the highest-impact, lowest-cost changes first: paint, textiles (throws, cushions, rugs), and lighting can dramatically shift a room's feel. Thrift stores and online marketplaces are great sources for coastal furniture. Layoutly helps you test budget-friendly options before purchasing.
