Under the Sea: Coastal and Beach Pillows

They say life is better under the sea—and while we might not be trading places with starfish anytime soon, we can borrow their style. Bring the serene charm of coastal living to your home with pillows inspired by oceanic textures, sea life, and sun-washed hues.

When designing with coastal themes, subtlety is key. Think: light-filled spaces, soft tones, and a balanced blend of texture and simplicity. Start with breathable neutrals and pale solids—colors like seafoam, blush, and sand that act as grounding elements in any room.

Take our solid pastel pink Groton Throw Pillow, for instance. Its soft, almost seashell-like tone provides the perfect pairing for the sea star print in pale turquoise. Together, they strike a quiet yet playful contrast—elevating the space without overwhelming it.

Layering pillows of varying sizes and shapes brings visual interest and a sense of softness to any space—whether it's a living room sofa, cozy window seat, or bed. Mix in a few large bolsters, lumbars, or rounded neckrolls to break up square silhouettes and create a more curated, collected feel.

At The Pillow Collection, we make it easy to find your perfect combination, with a wide range of pillow sizes and styles designed to suit any space or aesthetic. With the right mix, even a simple pastel pairing can make a big impact.

For a more dramatic take on coastal, explore bolder graphics—like our Ikia throw pillow with deep navy sea creatures on taupe, paired with our dusty blue solid and radial sea urchin pattern. The mix of organic prints and clean color blocks adds depth, while staying true to the airy sensibility of coastal design.

Each pillow is made to order in the USA—crafted to elevate your sofa, bed, or window seat with a look that’s both fresh and refined. Explore our coastal pillow collection here!
