The legs and upholstery add just the right amount of mid-century modern to this room.

The large pieces in the corner look like they are dancing, don't they?

Hints of teal in the accent pieces add to the groovy casual coastal vibe going on in this Amy Lau room.

Driftwood accents add a modern retro cottage shack vibe.

Here it is with a light blue gray.

I love this room so much I just had to show it from another angle. It's also a good view of the matching ottoman that goes with the Papa Bear Chair.

Keep inspiration from the coast, but tone it down.This cottage has kept a color palette and textures inspired by the coast, but mixed in mid-century modern furnishings. The result is a fresh contemporary look that is still comfortable, with plenty of room for gathering.

Here the coffee table plays off the large pieces of wood in the corner. These elements work very well with the mid-century pieces in this room. Also, the designer has created a coastal color palette that is unexpected and fresh. Do you have driftwood or other sticks in your décor? Please share it with us in the comments section!

A similar color palette was used here; mid-century modern furnishings recall groovy beach houses from the '60s and '70s, yet it's all put together in a very polished and sophisticated way. The driftwood coffee table, big sticks in the corner and wavy pillows reference the Hamptons setting in a subtle way.

The twisting shapes of Lianas vines are beautiful in this mass grouping ....

Freeform sculptures give a living room the feel of a natural wonderland. I would love to see the shadows they would make on the walls when used with uplighting.

Sculptural tree branches anchor the back wall and add to this living room's beach theme.

Imagine this room without the chartreuse rug and chair. A little boring, right?

Ground a sculpture. These wonderful driftwood logs enliven this beach house corner.
