Create A stylish, Easy to Maintain Coastal Home with Melonwoods

In our South African coastal climate, our homes often embrace a design that effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. Living close to the coast means that salty air can impact the durability and appearance of your furniture and lighting. To help maintain their longevity and aesthetic appeal, here are some tips from  Melonwoods that you might find useful.

1. Pick Tough Materials:

Choose furniture and lights made of strong materials like wood, aluminum, or synthetic wicker that can handle salty air and moisture without falling apart. Seal your wooden furniture well and prevent these from being exposed to direct rain and sunlight (unless specifically made for being fully outdoors).

2. Look for Durability:

Make sure your furniture and lights are tough enough to withstand coastal weather. They should resist fading, rust, and corrosion. Lighting has a coastal quality rating – so look out for this when shopping.

3. Easy to Clean:

Choose pieces that are easy to clean with just a wipe down, so you don’t have to spend too much time maintaining them.

4. Match Your Style:

To ensure a cohesive look in your home, pick items that fit the look you want for your coastal home for both your indoor and outdoor furniture – whether it’s a laid-back beach vibe or a more modern coastal style.
