For years, the classic coastal aesthetic has captured hearts with its effortless combination of crisp whites, breezy blues, and sun-bleached neutrals. It’s a look that feels light, serene, and timeless — evoking peaceful mornings by the water and slow, sun-soaked afternoons.
But like all great styles, coastal interiors are evolving. In 2025, the design world is embracing a warmer, more layered interpretation of coastal living, trading cool, icy tones for soft, earthy hues that feel rooted in nature and rich in character.
At Marisol Gullo Interiors, we’ve always believed that a well-designed home should feel as inviting as it is beautiful. This new wave of color trends offers the perfect opportunity to infuse your favorite coastal look with added depth, warmth, and sophisticated charm.
Today, we’re sharing a deeper look at what’s ahead for color in 2025 — and how you can use it to refresh your spaces in a way that feels natural, timeless, and uniquely yours.
While the heart of coastal design remains its connection to nature — the sky, the sand, the sea — we’re seeing a beautiful shift toward colors that mirror the more grounded, earthy elements of the landscape. Picture soft clay pinks, warm ochres, and sagey greens balanced against creamy off-whites and classic ocean blues.
“It’s about moving away from sterile, overdone ‘beach house’ looks,” says Marisol Gullo, owner and lead designer at Marisol Gullo Interiors. “Instead, we’re creating spaces that feel layered and lived-in — where warmth, texture, and personality are just as important as light and openness.”
This blending of cool coastal tones with rich, natural colors allows for spaces that are calm yet cozy, sophisticated yet approachable.
Warm colors have an innate ability to make a room feel welcoming and grounded. When layered into a coastal-inspired home, they soften stark contrasts and bring a sense of depth that makes a space feel complete, not cookie-cutter.
It’s also a palette that’s incredibly versatile. These earthier shades pair effortlessly with natural textures like linen, rattan, reclaimed wood, stone, and hand-thrown pottery — key elements in the elevated coastal-luxe look Marisol Gullo Interiors is known for.
If you’re ready to embrace this year’s color trends, but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve gathered a few of Marisol’s favorite ways to subtly and stylishly introduce these hues into your home:
Consider updating your walls from bright white to a softer, warmer neutral. Shades like warm ivory, pale sand, or light taupe provide the perfect canvas for both classic coastal elements and this year’s earthy accents.
Wallpaper is another fantastic option, especially with today’s textural, nature-inspired designs. Look for grasscloth or linen-look wallpapers in soft, organic tones to instantly elevate a space.
While blue and white remain staples, introducing accents in terracotta, olive green, clay pink, or sun-washed mustard can add surprising warmth. Think throw pillows, pottery, area rugs, and woven baskets.
Small touches like an earthy-hued vase or a textured throw blanket can completely change the mood of a room,” Marisol notes.
A big part of this trend is about texture as much as color. Mix natural materials like jute, rattan, reclaimed wood, linen, and stone to create a tactile, inviting space. The combination of warm hues and organic textures makes for a look that’s both casual and refined.
The key to sophistication is balance. Rather than overwhelming a room with bold color, use these warmer tones sparingly but intentionally. A natural stone lamp base here, a woven chair, pillow there — it’s about curating moments of warmth against a serene backdrop.
When you introduce these colors in small, thoughtful ways, it feels effortless and timeless says Marisol.
Alongside color, 2025 is seeing a revival of organic, nature-inspired patterns. Soft botanical prints, painterly stripes, and block-printed textiles are perfect for adding subtle interest without overpowering the calming feel of a coastal space.
At Marisol Gullo Interiors, you’ll find a curated selection of textiles and décor items that reflect this trend — from breezy, earth-toned drapery panels to hand-loomed throws in soft, sunbaked hues.
