For a lot of people, especially in this wide brown land down under, enjoying the wonder and beauty of the seaside is synonymous with many fond Christmas and holiday memories.
Our Coastal Chic Christmas collection encourages you to embrace everything that you love about the beach, and then invite that joy into your home, this festive season.
This indulgently refined decorating style challenges what you thought you knew about coastal themed Christmas décor. There’s not a speck of sand or seashell in sight.
An absolutely stunning base colour palette of white, silver, champagne and touches of gold is highlighted with various shades of blue including duck egg, navy and aqua – paying subtle homage to the gorgeous natural hues of the ocean.
Shimmer and sparkle from naturally inspired coral sprays and florals mimic the sunshine glistening on the water while elegant elves, beautiful butterflies and glittered birds add a sense of movement and whimsy to this refreshing take on a beachside Christmas decorating theme.
Coastal Chic Christmas decorating is a great, not-so-traditional, way to decorate for Christmas in a subtly refined and sophisticatedly simple way. We can’t wait to show you how we created this stunning collection.

Coastal Chic Christmas Consoles
Beautiful blue and white décor pieces evoke a nod to Hamptons inspired home decorating.
While they don’t usually get to enjoy a warm, sunny Christmas by the beach in that part of the world, Hamptons is definitely an iconic beach decorating style that is a perfect reference to inspire your Coastal Chic Christmas decorating.
Vases and urns are a gorgeous decorating feature at any time of the year. A gorgeous faux floral display arranged in a vase looks amazing and can easily remain as part of your home decorating after the Christmas season is done for another year.
Add tabletop trees and Christmas elf ornaments for a hint of Christmas on the sideboard or drinks cart.
Finish the look with a framed Christmas print in coordinating colours. Our Coastal Chic Christmas FREE Printable Download is a great way to share a heartfelt Christmas message and also add another element to your decorating.
For a more rustic aesthetic featuring an antique brushed gold finish, instead of blue and white, our Antique Gold Metal Decorative Birdcage ornaments in a range of sizes have an opening hinge that allows you to place other ornaments or décor pieces inside to create a truly delightful vignette.
Add warmth and softness with flameless candles and ivory leaf Christmas garlands.
Extend touches of brushed gold highlights throughout the space by placing birdcages under the mantle or oversized bells around the base of the tree or under the sideboard.
