A Coastal State of Mind

In New England, summer is more than simply a season. It’s a way of life. As winter’s seemingly endless reign concludes, the earth comes to life in a way unlike any other place in the world. With its quaint harbors, rolling shorelines, flourishing flora, wind-swept dunes, sun-flecked coves, and charming classic shingled retreats, coastal New England is the epitome of summer glory. Summer’s annual return unlocks a sense of nostalgia that never waivers.

For these precious few months, everything softens: our days slow, our routines loosen—and the way we design our homes reflects the breezy, warm, salty atmosphere that captivates us all year after year. Like an anchor grounding summertime in place, flooring sets the tone for the perfect coastal vibe in any room. That’s where Williston Weaves comes in.

“In the mood for cabin chic, lakeside languor, or seaside serenity?  We get it, and as form follows function, every summer scheme has a design language all its own,” says Andrew Neave of Williston Weaves. 

Without question, every variation of blue celebrates the sea and sky, but a true coastal palette is more expansive: think misty grays of early morning fog, driftwood browns, crisp whites, and windswept neutrals. Add in the lively greens of dune grass, the blush of hydrangeas in bloom, and a joyful punctuation of floral hues—and suddenly, the design possibilities are as endless as the tide.

“Coastal style embraces your dreams, memories and hopes. It’s all about what summer means to you,” shares Neave. “It’s personal…and that is the beauty of it.”
