Modern Coastal Table Decor

Time to spruce up that table for summer entertaining! I’m joining a fun group of bloggers today to show you some new summer tablescape designs. I am loving a good modern coastal decor this year and have been incorporating it into my home this season. I     put together a brand new table design for you guys today using some traditional navy and white ticking paired with some fun modern vases and flatware.

Modern Coastal Table Decor

Lifestyle and Design Blogger Taryn Whiteaker takes you through her new modern coastal summer table design!

This little fluff bug has been quite the assistant over the past few weeks. I have learned to not put any decor on the floor that I don’t want chewed on and taken outside! But he sure is cute and cuddly at my feet :)

Modern Coastal Summer Table Decor mixing navy and white ticking and modern elements.

I love navy and white so it is such a go-to for me during the summer months. I love the traditional coastal look but I also want to give it a little modern twist. For this table I started with a roll of brown paper wrap for a causal texture and then started to layer. First the navy and white runner (I got this at HomeGoods but linked to a similar one for you!) and then added more coastal textures.

Simple and casual summer table decor featuring navy and white with pops of modern black accessories.

I picked up this drift wood garland on Amazon a few years ago and pull it out every year! I painted it a little white to give it more of a distressed look, super easy and inexpensive. Especially when it’s something I use time and time again. I even think it would be cute for a coastal Christmas look!

Coastal Place Setting

Beautiful summer place settings with organic look and feel. Love this gold flatware paired with navy placemats.

The place settings are all about mixing patterns and textures. One of my favorite things to do is check out the clearance section at home decor stores, especially when they are doing holiday closeout sales. I found these blue wicker placemats on clearance for just $1.50 each at the end of last summer. I snagged them up and have been waiting for the perfect time to use them. The navy blends great with the ticking runner and pulls the whole coastal look together.

I used my favorite World Market ceramic plates and then these beautiful modern gold flatware from Anko. And sometimes just a sprig of greenery is all you need to finish it off.

To bring in the modern elements, I stuck with clean lines of the flatware, black and white mat vases and more modern floral arrangements.

This look is relatively simple to recreate and brings a feeling of summer into your home.

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
