New Coastal: Inspiration for a Life by the Sea -- Ingrid Weir, Hardcover

Dreaming of life by the ocean? New Coastal: Where To Find It and How To Create It, takes you on an epic voyage around the USA and Australia.

This beautiful, photo-filled hardback serves as an inspiration and compass for life lived by the sea. Written and photographed by interior designer Ingrid Weir, the pages transport you to coastal towns both near and far, from Big Sur in California and the islands of Hawaii to the Bay of Fires in Australia.

Ship captains, artists, poets and pirates have long been drawn to the life of the sea. In New Coastal, we meet the modern-day incarnations of these renegade spirits, who have crafted original and authentic lives animated by the freedom of the ocean. In candid interviews, they share tips for secret spots and hideaways in their corner of the world - as well as where to find the best cup of coffee. Travelling from a romantic boathouse to a veranda overlooking the water and a bonfire picnic on the beach, Weir also shows how to create the coastal look for yourself, no matter where you live.

Combining rustic charm with warm modernism, New Coastal takes you on an adventure to refresh your soul.
