Avoid tacky coastal decor with these tips from Tom Scheerer

Designer Tom Scheerer shares his tips for creating a relaxed Palm Beach home that's anything but tacky.

It's easy for coastal decor to become tacky quickly. But with a few simple tips, you can create a space that's both stylish and inviting. Here's how:

• Use natural materials. Rattan, bamboo, and jute are all great choices for coastal decor. These materials add a touch of organic warmth to your space.
• Stick to a neutral color palette. White, beige, and gray are all classic coastal colors. These colors create a calming and relaxing atmosphere.
• Add pops of color with accessories. Throw pillows, rugs, and artwork are a great way to add a touch of color to your coastal space. Just be sure to choose colors that are inspired by the ocean, such as blues, greens, and corals.
• Don't overdo it. Coastal decor should be subtle and understated. Too much of anything can quickly become overwhelming.

By following these tips, you can create a coastal decor scheme that's both stylish and inviting.
