Do you have a waterfront property listing going on the market? Or maybe it’s been on the market and isn’t selling as fast as you’d like. If it isn’t styled in the right aesthetic, it may not attract the right buyers. We recommend coastal virtual staging for properties that are on or near the water. It’s the perfect style to draw in a buyer looking for their dream coastal property! Think ocean blues, light wood furniture pieces, rattan elements, and seashell decor. It may sound a bit cliché, but when done tastefully, it has a greater impact than a vacant space or mismatched staging.

Here are some examples of recent coastal virtual staging we’ve done for our clients along the waterfront.

Cozy Coastal Living

The living room is where buyers will spend much of their life at home, entertaining guests or relaxing in their free time. Decorating in shades of blue and using coastal elements helps bring that outdoor lifestyle indoors. It’s a reminder of where they are, even if they don’t always have a line of sight to the water.

Waterfront Dining

Woven materials, light wood, and rattan furniture are part of the foundation of coastal style. Their understated elegance actually elevates the coastal style to a luxury level, matching the modernity of this property. Minimal decor works best in this dining room, drawing the eye’s focus to the views of the canal outside.

A Homey Coastal Kitchen

This kitchen already gives off a comfy coastal home aesthetic with its white cabinetry and bench seating. We’ve used coastal virtual staging to embellish that with a blue color palette and light wood kitchen furniture. This also helps show the buyer that the space is large enough for both cooking and dining, if needed.

A Coastal Retreat

This primary bedroom isn’t overdone with the coastal theme. It has understated elements using a blue color palette, light wood furniture, and a few water-themed paintings. The bedroom is the retreat at the end of the day, so the focus here is on relaxing and unwinding.

Outdoor Living

While most waterfront residents spend their outdoor time at the beach or on the water, patios are still a valuable space in the home. This is a great spot to enjoy a coffee in the morning or soak up a few more rays before heading inside after a day at the beach. Virtually staging the patio also shows how much seating space is available to host guests.
