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.

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
