Use the coffee table to set the tone. Below are five designer informed blueprints that translate their signature coastal sensibilities into clear moves and shoppable picks from HTGT. Each section pairs a table choice with a simple styling recipe so you can build the look without guesswork.
Mark D. Sikes
Signature
Blue and white, stripes, woven textures, tailored symmetry, classic American coastal with easy comfort. Check out their work here.
Pick The Table
Go woven or crisp white. Try the natural texture of the Round Coastal Coffee Table for warmth and movement. Prefer a fresh canvas for blue and white textiles. Choose the White Coastal Coffee Table or the traditional form of the Round Cottage Coffee Table.
Style It Like Sikes
Center a travertine tray. Add stacked design books, a pair of coral bookends, and a neat cluster of small white vases. Finish with a single sprig of greenery and a folded coastal stripe throw nearby for balance. For visual references on classic blue and white rooms, scan Architectural Digest.
Victoria Hagan
Signature
Quiet luxury, pale neutrals, sculptural silhouettes, generous negative space, tailored calm.
Pick The Table
Choose light stone or refined white. The White Concrete Coffee Table Round brings serene mass with soft edges. Indoors, the Modern White Coffee Table or the White Wood Coffee Table delivers a calm core that layers well with linen and oak.
Style It Like Hagan
Keep the palette tight. Anchor with a low black stone tray for contrast. Add one sculptural object and a single tall stem in a slim vase such as the large white floor vase placed nearby. Let negative space do the work. For minimalist coastal studies, browse Dwell.
Barclay Butera
Signature
Coastal glamour, navy accents, rattan meets polished metal, island resort energy with polish.
Pick The Table
Blend shine with texture. The luminous Antique Gold Coffee Table adds sparkle to crisp upholstery. For flexibility, use the Rhea Glass Nesting Coffee Tables. To ground the mix with organic weave, choose the Rectangular Rattan Coffee Table.
Style It Like Butera
Set a mirrored gold tray at center for candles like the glass candleholders. Add a white coral moment with the white coral sculptures. Layer a navy linen book and a shell detail for subtle coastal notes.
Jeffrey Alan Marks
Signature
Relaxed California coastal, sun washed woods, organic forms, a lived in mix that feels effortless.
Pick The Table
Lead with texture from nature. The sculptural Driftwood Coffee Table brings shoreline character. For soft edges, try the Organic Modern Coffee Table. For grain forward warmth, use the Round Mango Wood Coffee Table.
Style It Like JAM
Keep it tactile. Drop a hand thrown bowl like the decorative bowl with glass orbs. Add a low stack of surf and design books and a small green branch in a matte vase such as the Florana vase. Let patina show.
Tom Scheerer
Signature
Bahamian ease, cane and rattan, handmade simplicity, breezy rooms with natural order.
Pick The Table
Celebrate weave and gentle curves. The sculptural White Washed Rattan Coffee Table feels airy and practical. For plush gather spots, use the Coastal Ottoman Coffee Table. For a classic rectangle in cane, reach for the Rectangular Rattan Coffee Table.
Style It Like Scheerer
Keep the mix elemental. A woven coastal tray, a small shell accent such as the shell orb sculpture, and a palm frond in a simple vessel like the palm leaf vase. Light fabrics and a rush rug nearby complete the mood.
Victoria Meets Performance Outdoors
Signature
When the living space extends outside, coastal needs materials that take sun and moisture while keeping a refined profile.
Pick The Table
Use the smooth strength of the White Concrete Coffee Table Round or the patterned presence of the Outdoor Marble Coffee Table. For a dark accent that still reads coastal, the Black Rattan Coffee Table adds contrast to pale cushions.
Style It For Sun And Salt
Lean on wipe clean surfaces. Set a black acrylic tray, add a hardy candle pair like the metal candleholders, and a low outdoor friendly bowl. Keep books inside and swap in a linen throw that can handle the breeze.
