Interior Design Articles — Coastal & Hamptons Styling for Australian Homes
Interior design for coastal Australian homes sits at an unusual crossroads. We borrow from American Hamptons (white panelling, navy accents, rope and rattan), from Mediterranean coastal (lime-washed walls, terracotta, olive), and from the relaxed surf-house tradition that grew up along the east coast in the 70s and 80s. Wall art is often the piece that pulls all three influences into one room without it feeling confused.
The articles in this guide cover the practical end of styling decisions: how to scale art to a wall, what to hang above a sofa or bed, how renovation sequencing affects when you choose your prints, and the soft colour palettes that actually work in our particular sun. Salt & Sol produces every piece locally in Noosaville and Booragoon, so we get a fair number of customer photos back — the styling tips below are drawn from real homes across Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, not just Pinterest mood boards.
