A Nautical Nod: Four Homes That Channel the Coast

  
2 Min Read

You don’t need to own a boat—or even like boats, honestly—to enjoy a little nautical style. A striped pillow, shiplap walls, maybe a model sailboat that looks like it just happened to dock there. It’s not trying too hard. There’s something a little windswept and well-styled about it—the kind of look that makes you want to drop your bag, kick off your shoes, and stay a while.

Nothing overboard here—just four homes with a breezy point of view.

This bedroom has a clear nod to the coast, with blue-and-white bedding reminiscent of changing tides, rope-wrapped lamps, a buoy on display, and surfboard artwork tying it all together. But really—with an address like North Sea Mecox Road, what did you expect?

25 Tokeneke Trail - Darien, Connecticut

This built-in bar could pass for part of a classic sailboat—the woodwork, the brass, the curve of the counter. Even the framed sailboat above plays into the illusion. It’s more than coastal-inspired. It feels custom-crafted for someone who knows port from starboard.

211 Red Dirt Road - Springs, NY

The blue accent wall in this bedroom makes the sailboat feel like it’s already halfway to sea. Add striped seating and white beams, and the whole room’s a shore thing.

231 Gerard Drive - East Hampton, NY

This space doesn’t try to be nautical—it just is. With anchor pillows, shiplap throughout, and a bay view that takes center stage, it feels ready to set sail without ever leaving the couch.
