About this collection
Coastal Fire Feature Ideas, explained.
Coastal fire & spa are relaxed by design: cedar shingle and white-painted timber, wide decks and porches, rope and cable railings, dune grasses, hydrangeas and salt-tolerant planting. Whether the house sits on the water or a suburban lot, the mood is breezy and low-key.
Notice how the strongest fire feature designs keep colours pale and materials matte so the light does the work. Save the schemes whose planting and timber tones suit your climate and your house.
Coastal design lets the light do the work. Look for weathered cedar shingle and white trim, bleached or grey decking, cable or rope railings, and a palette of sand, driftwood and sea-glass. Planting is grasses, hydrangeas, beach roses and anything that tolerates salt and wind; furniture is teak or wicker with white cushions. Keep surfaces matte and colours pale, and the mood stays breezy even miles from the shore.
