You don’t need to be beside the seaside to embrace coastal style. Coastal-inspired home design is a popular way to create a fresh, relaxed appearance,
whether you live beside the sea or miles from the coast.
Front doors play an important role in helping to establish this look. Soft colours, natural tones, decorative glazing and carefully selected hardware are
helping homeowners create a welcoming coastal-inspired entrance.
With a wide choice of Endurance door colours, glazing and hardware available, you can create your own interpretation of coastal style and give your home a fresh new look.
The Coastal Look
There are some key features which tend to define the coastal-inspired home exterior. Soft blue colours, muted greens, neutral shades and natural textures
often play a part. Endurance colours like Duck Egg Blue, Chartwell Green, Sage and White can lend themselves to different interpretations of the coastal aesthetic. Ultimately, the right coastal look comes down to your property and personal preferences.
We recommend that homeowners first consider their property’s architecture. The door styles in our Country Collection can create a cottage-inspired coastal look, while Classic Collection designs offer something more traditional.
Your choice of glazing can help complete the look while introducing natural light into your entrance. Coastal design doesn’t need to be overly themed –
subtle colours and stylistic choices can achieve a beautiful result.
Salt & Air Protection
For homeowners living in coastal areas, salt-laden air can place additional demands on external door hardware. This emphasises the importance of suitable, durable hardware and maintaining it correctly.
We recommend homeowners clean their handles, letterplates and knockers regularly with warm water and mild detergent. Simple, regular maintenance can help keep your door hardware looking its best, particularly in coastal environments.
