Here’s how to pull of this rustic-meets-beachy trend
Step aside, coastal grandmother—there’s a new decorating trend in town, and she’s wearing cowboy boots. Perhaps you’ve seen the “coastal cowgirl” aesthetic, with its rugged textures and country accents worthy of a Texas ranch, circulating on TikTok. There’s no need to boast a southern accent to take part in this interiors trend though; coastal cowgirl can be applied to homes of all kinds, no matter your zip code.
So what is coastal cowgirl, exactly? We asked Dayna Isom Johnson, a trend expert at Etsy, to break it down for us.
Coastal cowgirl combines the laid-back, beachy essence of last year’s ever-popular ‘coastal grandma’ aesthetic with a western spin, Isom Johnson tells us. Pairing beach-like pale neutrals with materials such as leather and natural wood feels oh-so cowgirl-worthy. When in doubt, just think: what would Kacey Musgraves do?
“This year is all about embracing duality, and this new trend allows shoppers to take two recently popular aesthetics and merge them to get the best of both worlds in a way that feels both familiar and fresh,” she says.
To dip your cowboy boot-outfitted toe in the trend, Isom Johnson suggests starting with smaller accents, like rattan coasters or western-inspired art. Those who are ready to dive in can make a statement with larger pieces like leather furniture or breezy linen curtains or bedding, she says.
