Everything You Need to Know About the ‘Coastal Cowgirl’ Design Trend

If you've ever been drawn to the relaxed vibes of coastal living, get ready to fall in love with the Coastal Cowgirl trend this season. You could almost envision it as Malibu Barbie swapping her surfboard for a saddle, thanks to the blend of beachy chic with rustic Western charm.

So, what can you expect when it comes to this interior style? Picture soft neutrals shades, reminiscent of sun-kissed sands, adorned with beach-centric motifs like shells and waves – seamlessly creating an oasis that wouldn't look out of place in a quaint beachfront cottage. As for the Western touches? Think electric accessories, wooden furniture and Cowgirl-inspired motifs.

Here's an easy step-by-step guide on how you can re-create the ‘Coastal Cowgirl’ trend in your humble abode with Peony Lane Interiors:

Key accessories that evoke coastal charm

At the heart of the coastal trend is the seamless blend of ocean-inspired hues (such as turquoise, navy and pale blue) situated against light, neutral backdrops. Our exquisite Blue Linen Tassel Cushion effortlessly adds a pop of colour to a fireside accent chair or a bedroom. Add the perfect finishing touch to a side table with our sought-after Relaxed Coastal Style Book – ideal for dipping into on a well-deserved lounge day, or even as captivating as a display piece. Plus, playful shell details such as our Shell Decorative Candle, or White Flora Shell Tea Light Holder will have you reminiscing of finding whimsical seaside treasures as a child. 

Let the aromas of the coast transport you

Engage your senses with our Sences Ocean Room Spray. This captivating fragrance will have you dreaming of the sand and the waves between your toes, thanks to its subtle notes of saltwater and the earthy aroma of driftwood. Alternatively, opt for our Pure Alang Alang Diffuser complete with a set of authentic reed sticks. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let the soothing scent leave you feeling totally refreshed and rejuvenated.

Invest in natural materials

The woven construction of rattan could almost be compared to the rugged beauty of driftwood, while its golden tones echo the sun-kissed tones of sandy shores. In recent years, rattan has become an extremely popular trend throughout many design trends, but it has always been deep-rooted in coastal living.

You can easily and subtly incorporate rattan into every room of your home through accessories such as our Natural Rattan Coasters, Natural Rattan Small Tray (for showcasing your favourite home accessories), or even a simple Tissue Box Holder to add a touch of interest to your hallway console.

Don’t forget eclectic Western accents

Now that we've explored the coastal half of this trend, let's infuse some Tennessee appeal into the mix. Yee-haw!

Unleash your inner cowgirl with our Nashville Ceramic Cowboy Boot Candle, offered in three delightful, speckled shades and scents. Or, treat yourself to a striking statement piece for a side cabinet, like our antique-inspired Distressed Horse. Boasting an authentic antique finish, it’s sure to make a striking focal point of any room.

Also, feel free to experiment with mixing and matching patterns and textures to achieve a truly eclectic aesthetic. Linen is a key fabric of the trend, so pick up a few of our summery Cambridge Pink & Green Cushions combined with our Lime Delicate Ikat Cushions. And, layer our cosy Berry Herringbone Wool Throw over your bed or an armchair for some extra depth and warmth on chillier days.
