Warm Coastal Home with a Tropical Nautical Theme

This coastal retreat by Florida based designer Karen Benson is a creative mix of nautical and tropical.

Coastal living room with wall shelf focal point
The living room is warm and cozy with a terrific wall shelf as the focal point that is populated with all kinds of sea treasures.

Porthole window in kitchen
On the other side of the living room you find a traditional kitchen with a twist. A large porthole window is set into one of the walls.

Tropical dining room
The dining room area is defined by an Accent Wall that featured two large Palm Prints and decorative plates.

Fish wall sculptures
The wood work throughout the house is gorgeous. The walls upstairs feature more Fish Wall Sculptures.

Tropical bedroom
Tropical colors and a beautiful Palm Tree Print above the headboard set the mood in this Cozy Bedroom.

Tranquil tropical bedroom
Another soothing palmy bedroom retreat.

Blue and white stripe coastal bedroom
In a third coastal bedroom, Bold Blue Navy & White Striped Bedding (Wayfair) and Shorebird Art create a more beachy ambiance. Same wall sconces and desk chairs are used in all of the bedrooms.



Coastal entryway foyer
The entryway foyer area shows off the theme of the house with a mix of coastal, Tropical and Nautical. It features a ceiling Compass Rose, Life Saver Ring, Palm Leaf, Giant Clam, Seashell Mirror, and a antique table with a beachcomber vignette that includes a Shell Collection and Driftwood Decor.
