Coastal Blues: Mrs. Howard's Guide to Decorating with the Colors of the Sea and Sky

Coastal Blues is a decorating book by Phoebe Howard focused on blue color schemes inspired by the sea and sky. The book features photographs of beach houses, seacoast getaways, vacation cottages, and seaside manors, along with interior design and styling advice. Organized into chapters including Sea Glass (brilliant blue schemes), Indigo Bay (true blue schemes), and Ocean Mist (pale blue schemes), the book presents new, previously unpublished design projects. Each demonstrates the ease and casual elegance of shoreline living, showing how to adapt coastal style to be modern, fresh, and personalized. The book combines visual inspiration with practical guidance on incorporating blue and white into spaces like kitchens and dining areas through elements such as cabinetry, curtains, counter stools, backsplash tiles, and accessories.
