A particular kind of magic arrives with fall on Amelia Island. The ocean air carries a softness it lacks in August. The light turns golden and warm earlier each day. And for so many of our customers, that shift in season sparks something irresistible: a deep, beautiful desire to come home to a space that actually feels like you.
If you have been meaning to refresh your living room, or putting off finding that perfect dining table, or staring at the same lighting fixture for three years knowing it is not right, fall is your moment.
At Coastal Cottage of Amelia, we offer everything you need to transform your home this season: interior design, furniture, lighting, rugs, accessories, custom framing, unique gifts, and local art, all under one roof at our award-winning showroom at 1439 Sadler Road in Fernandina Beach. Visit our showroom page to explore what is waiting for you this fall.
| “Fall is the season when people finally permit themselves to invest in the home they have always wanted. Our job is to make that vision real.” — Yvonne Fenn, Lead Designer |
Expert Interior Design: Your Vision, Brought to Life
The most common thing we hear from customers who finally book a design consultation with us is this: I wish I had done this sooner. And we understand why people wait. Design consultations can feel intimidating, or like something reserved for people with enormous budgets.
The truth is, our design services are built around you. Whether you are redecorating a single room or undertaking a full home remodel, our lead designer Yvonne Fenn works with your vision, your budget, and your lifestyle. This fall, our design consultations are focused on the themes that are shaping beautiful homes across Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island:
- Warm Coastal Neutral Palettes: Moving away from pure white toward soft creams, warm taupes, dusty sages, and sandy tones that feel effortlessly coastal while capturing autumn warmth.
- Layered Textures: Mixing linen, velvet, natural wood, woven rattan, and coastal-inspired accents to create rooms that feel rich and intentional.
- Open-Plan Flow: Many Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach homes have beautiful open living and dining spaces. Our designers help you create a cohesive design story that flows seamlessly from one area to the next.
- The Tablescape Moment: Inspired by our new fall social post featuring a beautifully styled coastal dining table with white pumpkins, cotton stems, blue goblets, and soft linens, we are passionate about helping clients create dining rooms they genuinely want to gather in.
According to Better Homes and Gardens, fall is consistently the season when homeowners are most motivated to invest in their interiors, driven by the natural desire to create warm, inviting spaces as temperatures drop and gatherings increase. Our team is ready to help you channel that energy into a home you will love every day of the season.
Ready to start? Book your fall design consultation with our team today. We are open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, and our showroom at 1439 Sadler Road, Fernandina Beach, is the perfect place to begin the conversation.
Furniture That Tells Your Story
We carry some of the most beautiful, highest-quality furniture brands available, including Canadel, Norwalk, Caracole, A.R.T. Furniture, Jonathan Charles, Made Goods, and more. But what sets Coastal Cottage of Amelia apart from any other furniture destination is the way we work with you to find pieces that are genuinely right for your space and your life.
Dining Tables: The Heart of Fall Gatherings
Fall brings people back together around the table. The dining room becomes the most important room in the house. We carry custom dining tables from solid wood farmhouse styles to contemporary coastal designs. One customer wrote recently: “We have ordered a custom dining table and the owner took her time and explained all the details.” We find or build the table your family will gather around for decades.
Sofas and Seating: Comfort Meets Coastal Style
Our Norwalk custom sofas are consistently among our most-loved purchases. With hundreds of fabric options, including performance fabrics perfect for coastal living, we help you create seating that is as beautiful as it is livable. This fall, deep-seated velvet sofas, linen-covered armchairs, and accent chairs in warm autumnal tones are moving quickly through our showroom.
Custom Furniture: Built for You
Many of our pieces are fully customisable in size, finish, fabric, and configuration. If you have a specific vision or a challenging space, bring your measurements and your inspiration, and we will find or build something that fits perfectly. Explore our furniture collection here.
Lighting: The Most Transformative Element in Any Room
Lighting is the single design element that homeowners most consistently underestimate, and when they finally get it right, it changes everything. The right light does not just illuminate a room. It makes you feel something when you walk in.
This fall, as the evenings draw in earlier and the golden-hour light shifts, how your home is lit in the evening matters more than ever. Our lighting collection includes spectacular pieces from Currey and Company, Uttermost, and Crestview Collection, spanning every style and space:
- Statement Chandeliers: A chandelier above a dining table, over a bed, or in an entryway immediately elevates every gathering that happens beneath it. Our showroom currently features a breathtaking chandelier that embodies exactly what we mean by transformative.
- Table Lamps and Accent Lighting: Fall is the season for warm, layered light rather than a single overhead fixture. We curate table lamps and accent lights in coastal-inspired forms with natural materials, warm metal finishes, and sculptural bases.
- Floor Lamps: A thoughtfully placed floor lamp in a reading corner, beside a sofa, or in a hallway adds warmth and dimension in a way that overhead fixtures simply cannot replicate.
| “Lighting is not a finishing touch. It is the foundation of atmosphere, and fall is the season when that atmosphere matters most.” |
Rugs: Grounding Your Space This Fall
Colorful rugs have emerged as one of the most powerful tools for transforming a room. A rug is not just a floor covering. It is the foundation that grounds every piece of furniture around it, brings warmth underfoot, and anchors the design story of an entire space.
For fall, we are seeing particular demand for:
- Warm-toned statement rugs in terracotta, amber, sage, and soft navy that echo the palette of the season without being overtly autumnal.
- Natural fiber and woven textures: Jute, sisal, and textured weaves that bring organic warmth without competing with coastal-inspired furniture and decor.
- Layered rug styling: Placing a smaller printed or patterned rug over a larger natural fiber base to create depth and visual interest.
Our rug collection is updated regularly and our team is here to help you choose the right piece for your specific space, light, and furniture. Browse our rugs online or visit us in store to see and feel the full selection.
Fall Decor and Accessories: The Details That Make a Home
A home does not feel like a home because of its furniture. It feels like a home because of its details. The candle on the side table. The unexpected vase on the shelf. The framed piece of local art that catches the light in the morning. The coastal accent that makes you smile every time you walk past it.
At Coastal Cottage of Amelia, our home decor and gift shop sections are restocked weekly with new arrivals that reflect the season, the community, and the coastal lifestyle that makes Amelia Island so special. This fall, our showroom features:
Fall Tablescaping
Inspired by our new fall social post, which features a stunning coastal autumn table with white pumpkins, soft cotton stems, blue glass goblets, linen runners, and gold accents, we have everything you need to create a fall tablescape that will be the centrepiece of your Thanksgiving or holiday gathering. Decorative pumpkins, seasonal botanicals, candleholders, charger plates, and unique glassware are all available in our showroom.
Seasonal Botanicals and Natural Elements
Cotton stems, dried grasses, and sculptural branch arrangements bring the outside in and celebrate the natural beauty of the season. We carry a constantly changing selection of high-quality botanicals that pair beautifully with coastal interiors without feeling overly themed or trendy.
Candles and Atmospheric Accents
Fall is the season for candlelight. Our selection of candles, candleholders, hurricane lanterns, and atmospheric accents is at its best right now. Whether you prefer clean white candles in sculptural holders, fragrant seasonal wax, or dramatic tall tapers in a statement candelabra, our showroom has options that work with every style.
Pillows, Throws, and Soft Furnishings
The single fastest way to refresh a sofa, bed, or reading chair for fall is with new pillows and a throw. We carry a beautifully curated selection of accent pillows in velvet, linen, embroidered cotton, and coastal-inspired prints, alongside luxurious throws that make any space feel instantly more inviting.
Custom Framing and Local Art: Your Home, Your Story
Art is the most personal element in any home, and one of the most powerful. A piece of art that genuinely moves you transforms a wall from a surface into a statement. At Coastal Cottage of Amelia, we support local artists whose work reflects the beauty of Amelia Island and the Florida coast, and we offer custom framing services that present your chosen pieces in exactly the way they deserve to be seen.
This fall is a beautiful time to invest in art. Whether you purchase a piece from one of our featured local artists, bring in a family photograph or travel print for custom framing, or commission a piece that tells your family’s story, our team can guide you through the entire process. Custom framing is also a uniquely thoughtful gift for a new homeowner, a family milestone, or a special occasion.
The Gift Shop: Something Beautiful for Everyone
The holiday season begins its approach in fall, and Coastal Cottage of Amelia’s gift shop is one of Fernandina Beach’s most beloved destinations for finding gifts that feel genuinely special. Our selection includes handcrafted pieces from local artisans, unique home accents, seasonal decor, greeting cards, candles, glass pieces, and accessories you simply will not find anywhere else on Amelia Island.
As one of our customers beautifully put it: “Every time I come to visit my best friend, we shop here. It is just so adorable and the variety of items they have is amazing!” Whether you are looking for a host gift, a housewarming present, a unique birthday find, or something beautiful for yourself, the gift shop is waiting.
Award-Winning Design: All Under One Roof in Fernandina Beach
What makes Coastal Cottage of Amelia genuinely different from any other home decor destination on Amelia Island is the completeness of the experience. You do not need to visit a furniture store, then a lighting boutique, then a rug warehouse, then a frame shop, and then try to pull it all together yourself.
We have done that work for you. Every piece in our showroom has been curated to work beautifully with everything else. Our design team, led by award-winning designer Yvonne Fenn, featured in the Amelia Islander Magazine and recognised across multiple awards, brings a coherent design vision to every consultation, every purchase, and every room.
This fall, we invite you to come in, walk the showroom, have a conversation, and let us show you what is possible. No pressure. No script. Just beautiful things and people who genuinely love helping you find them.
