Defining the Coastal Cowgirl Aesthetic

Coastal cowgirl style grew out of the hugely popular farmhouse aesthetic. Farmhouse decor with its rugged woods, galvanised metal, and vintage finds has been dominating the design world for years. As people looked for ways to freshen up and update the farmhouse look and feel, designers began incorporating breezy coastal elements. The coastal cowgirl style was born from this hybrid.

Key elements of the coastal cowgirl vibe include:

• Light and airy colours like white, sea glass greens, and sandy tans

• Weathered wood finishes mixed with white-washed looks

• Vintage-style coastal artwork featuring anchors, shells, and oars

• Woven textures like rattan, jute, and driftwood

• Comfortable furniture like slipcovered sofas and wicker chairs

• Accent pieces featuring rope, shells, and reclaimed wood

In a nutshell, the coastal cowgirl look combines the laidback feel of a beach house with rustic flair.

Designing a Coastal Cowgirl Home

When designing a coastal cowgirl space, start by choosing light wall colours like cloud white or soft linen. Then bring in wood furnishings and vintage-look rugs to establish the farmhouse base. Next, weave in coastal accents through artwork, pillows, curtains, and ceramic decor. A dried starfish chandelier and reclaimed driftwood coffee table can take the look to the next level.

Don't be afraid to mix old and new - this style is all about blending classic farmhouse with breezy nautical elements. Display collected seashells next to galvanised elements. Create layers that are casual, comfortable, and chic.

The coastal cowgirl trend beautifully breathes new life into the beloved farmhouse aesthetic. It's the perfect interior style for anyone who loves casual coastal living but still craves (vintage, or even modern) farmhouse charm. Decorating with a blend of weathered woods, white-washed pieces, and coastal accents results in a space that feels fresh, inviting, and full of character.
