Characteristics of a Coastal Style Home 

Typically an airy, open house plan with large panoramic windows and outdoor living spaces oriented to take advantage of spectacular beach views. Some coastal homes may be elevated above the ground on concrete or wood posts as protection from flooding. Exterior materials are selected to withstand the elements, particularly salt air and high winds.

Concrete Design Ideas

Concrete floors and countertops are ideally suited for coastal lifestyles, with their simple elegance, low maintenance requirements and excellent durability.

· Use colors that complement a beach setting, such as ocean blue and sandy beige.

· Personal touches might include countertops embedded with seashells and other beachcombing treasures.

· On the exterior, embellish outdoor living spaces with concrete rockscapes, stamped concrete flatwork in patterns such as slate or flagstone, and a concrete fire pit.
