Coastal Primary Bedroom with Sand-Toned Linen Bedding

Coastal bedding is about relaxed layers in the colors of sand and driftwood, not anchors and stripes. Start with sand-colored linen sheets, add a crisp white duvet and finish with a waffle-knit throw across the bottom, so three textures sit on top of one another. For a king, use three Euro shams against the headboard, two standard shams, and one lumbar pillow in front. Washed linen is ideal because it breathes well in humid Midwest summers and softens with every wash. Natural woven pieces, the headboard, lamps and rug, bring in coastal texture while the palette stays soft.
