Design notes

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.

What to look for

  • Depth — eight feet for chairs, ten or more for a table or a swing
  • How the steps and railings meet the walk and the yard
  • Ceiling: height, material and whether a fan or lights are built in
