Bring in Plants and Great Lighting:

Big indoor plants instantly work to blur the lines between the inside and outside, creating an instant coastal vibe. Oversized plants with wide and glossy leaves create that island-paradise tropical effect, while the greens sit very well with neutrals, whites, blues, and washed grays. Colorful and tropical flowers in big pots add a vibrant, lush look and feel while giving that extra drama to the room. Perhaps the easiest ways to create a coastal vibe is to open up your windows and just let the natural light in. Remove those heavy winter curtains and replace them with light and soft sheers, which moves with the breeze.
