Maritime Living – Amalfi Coast Inspired Interior Décor

There’s something timeless and soul-soothing about the Mediterranean. The warm sun, gentle sea breeze, and crisp coastal hues of Italy’s Amalfi Coast have long inspired interior designers and travellers alike. Whether you're dreaming of Positano's pastel buildings or the deep blues of the Tyrrhenian Sea, it’s easier than ever to bring a slice of the Amalfi lifestyle into your home with our Maritime Living edit.

Inspired by seaside serenity and effortless summer style, this look combines nautical touches with natural textures, soft fabrics, and tranquil blue tones. Here’s how to achieve this look using statement pieces from the BHS home and lighting collection.

Coastal Calm with Cushions

Soft furnishings are one of the easiest ways to refresh your home for a seasonal update, and our Riviera inspired cushions are the perfect place to start. The Loft Diamond Cushion features a subtle geometric pattern in a rich blue hue, adding depth and texture to your seating area. Complementing this, our Block Print Cushion showcases a delicate, artisanal design that brings a touch of handcrafted charm to your space. Together, these cushions evoke the relaxed elegance of a Mediterranean retreat, inviting you to sink in and unwind.

Layered Textures with Throws

To enhance the cosy, layered feel, drape the Juna Throw in Navy over your sofa or armchair. Its deep navy tone mirrors the expanse of the Amalfi Sea, while the soft, woven texture adds warmth and comfort. This throw not only provides an extra layer for cooler evenings but also contributes to the overall aesthetic, tying together the various blue accents in your décor.

Natural Light and Organic Materials

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood, and incorporating organic materials can bring an earthy, grounded feel to your interior. The Terri Tiered Floor Lamp in Natural combines a sleek, modern silhouette with a natural wood finish, creating a harmonious balance between contemporary design and rustic charm. Its tiered structure adds visual interest, making it a standout piece that complements the coastal theme.

Accentuating your space with glass accessories helps keep things feeling light and open. A piece like the Glass and Opal Ribbon Vase adds a delicate, transparent layer that reflects light beautifully. Style it with fresh blooms or coastal-inspired foliage to bring a hint of nature indoors.

Capturing the Nautical Essence

To really embrace the maritime feel, the Lucy Buoy Style Glass Table Lamp in Blue is an inspired addition. Its buoy-inspired silhouette and soft blue hue are a direct nod to life by the sea, offering a playful yet elegant way to bring a coastal motif into your space. The glass base catches and reflects the light, adding a subtle shimmer that mimics sunlight dancing on the water. Whether styled on a side table, console, or bedside, it’s a charming piece that ties the whole look together while reinforcing the relaxed, oceanic theme.

Breezy Finishing touches

No Amalfi-inspired room is complete without natural textures — and rattan is one of the most effective ways to introduce that laid-back, beachy feel. The Lauren Rattan Easyfit Shade in Natural brings an element of effortless charm to your ceiling lighting. Its woven design casts beautiful patterns across the room and adds a tactile, textural layer that grounds the space in nature.

Perfect for kitchens, bedrooms or living areas, this easy-to-fit shade can instantly transform your lighting with minimal effort. It pairs beautifully with both neutral and blue-toned colour schemes, making it a versatile piece that will work throughout your home.
