After a long, cold winter spent wrapped in cozy blankets by the fire, the spring season signals a fresh start. Naturally, this calls for a home refresh. Maybe you want to switch up your décor, incorporate a new color palette, or elevate your home’s aesthetic. If you need some inspiration on the interior design front, look to Jennifer Ebert, the digital editor at Homes & Gardens. She has her finger on the pulse of home and interior design, and she says the coastal-cottage aesthetic is quickly gaining popularity as one of spring 2025’s top interior design trends.
‘A relaxed and calming interior design style, coastal décor is having a well-deserved moment in the spotlight,’ she says. ‘Taking inspiration from tranquil landscapes and seascapes, this subtle, nautical look blends the beauty of New England design with seaside serenity.’ As a native New Englander, I’m thrilled to see the serene, coastal elements of my hometown making an appearance in this season’s interior design trends.
If you’re an apartment dweller or homeowner on a budget, Jennifer knows exactly where you should shop for affordable coastal décor. ‘While you can’t bring the ocean home with you, the coastal décor from Walmart is a great option to bring some ocean-inspired design elements into your home,’ she says. This spring, let Walmart be your go-to spot to affordably outfit your home with all of the nautical accents and oceanic elements you desire. According to our experts, this is a décor theme you’ll want to show off all spring and summer long. From seashell-filled lamps to scalloped accents to a luxurious teal sofa, the décor and furniture we recommend below will transform every corner of your home (and patio) into an oceanic oasis.
