Breakwater Bay brings the beauty of coastal living to homes across America. Inspired by breezy beaches and tranquil seaside towns, our furniture captures the easygoing spirit of the shore.

Our Story

It all started in 2012 with a simple idea – to create affordable, coastal-inspired furniture. Our founders had grown up visiting the beaches of the East Coast and hoped to bottle that relaxed, seaside feeling. They wanted to bring the sights and sounds of the shore – salty air, gentle waves, warm sand between your toes – to homes everywhere.

That first year, we launched with just fifteen furniture collections. Mostly bedroom and dining sets evoking casual, cottage charm. Unfussy silhouettes. Weathered finishes. A fresh take on nautical stripes and anchor motifs. Next came living room seating and outdoor patio sets with UV-resistant fibers and rust-proof frames.

We hit a chord with customers looking for casual coastal furniture at accessible prices.

Word spread about our growing lineup of patio, bedroom and living room furnishings. Our easy-breezy aesthetic and focus on value struck a chord with homeowners nationwide. Before we knew it, Breakwater Bay was being shipped coast-to-coast.

Today, we offer over 1,500 furniture collections and décor items for indoor and outdoor living. Our expanded catalog features everything from bedroom sets and sofas to dining tables, office desks, and accent chairs. Recently, we’ve added decorative mirrors, wall art, area rugs, curtains, and pillows to fully outfit homes in breezy coastal style.

Yet even as we’ve grown over the past decade, Breakwater Bay remains focused on our original mission – delivering casual, coastal-inspired furniture at prices reachable for most households. We’re proud to make seaside living accessible to all.

Design Philosophy

Light, relaxed, and livable – that’s the coastal vibe we aim for. Our furniture balances casual comfort with enduring good looks. Timeless silhouettes built from weather-tough materials to withstand years of family life.

We take inspiration from classic East Coast and Gulf Coast architecture – crisp cottages, airy bungalows, breezy beach houses. Then we reimagine those coastal classics for 21st-century lifestyles. The result is furniture with an easygoing spirit and laidback charm.

Effortless design is our goal. Unfussy. Unpretentious. Never overthought or overtly decorated. We favor natural textures like rattans, abacá, jute, and woods in driftwood finishes. Our no-fuss fabrics like canvas, linen, and cotton evoke sunwashed days by the shore.

For indoor living spaces, think relaxed and welcoming…

• Living rooms with slipcovered sofas and easy chairs for curling up with a book
• Dining spaces centered around farmhouse tables where families gather for meals
• Bedrooms with whitewashed beds piled high with quilts and pillows

For outdoor living, it’s all about maximizing time spent enjoying sunshine and fresh air…

• Decks and patios set with deep seating groups around a fire pit
• Poolside lounges and dining sets ready for swimsuit days and cookouts
• Front porches primed for sunset views in cozy rockers and swings

We design our furniture to be just as easygoing as coastal living. Because your home should help you relax and unwind, not cause stress and headaches.

Our Values

Quality Craftsmanship

Every piece of Breakwater Bay furniture is built to last for years of coastal living. We partner exclusively with factories upholding rigorous quality control standards for materials, construction, and finishings. Though prices are reasonable, we never cut corners. Our customers deserve furniture able to withstand their daily lives – and hold up in beachy environments.

Affordable Pricing

Delivering coastal style at attainable price points has been our commitment from day one. We pride ourselves on offering furnishings with high-end looks at costs working households can manage. Our direct-to-consumer online model helps us reduce markups and pass significant savings on to customers.

Sustainable Production

Environmental stewardship is important to us. Our partner workshops utilize recycled and responsibly sourced raw materials whenever possible. We avoid woods harvested from old-growth forests. Selected furniture collections also meet health-conscious standards like formaldehyde-free manufacturing.

Lasting Value

Built to endure years of use, our furniture represents an investment – not just another expense. We take care to design pieces balancing style and function. Our collections work beautifully on their own yet also mix and match seamlessly. Timeless silhouettes stay fresh for years so you can build out your coastal look gradually.

Easy Living

Life by the water evokes easygoing days filled with family, friends, and fun. We design our furniture to match that breezy sensibility. Unfussy finishes. Relaxed fabrics. Classic but casual silhouettes. Pieces exuding warmth and welcome – and built to withstand busy homes with kids and pets. Our furniture aims to make coastal living easy, so you can kick back and enjoy it.

Manufacturing Process

Breakwater Bay partners with dedicated workshops and artisans across Asia specializing in furniture manufacturing. We work exclusively with factories upholding rigorous quality control and production standards.

Several key factors guide our selection process:

• Experience crafting well-made furnishings from quality materials
• Consistent commitment to fine construction and detailing
• Capacity to scale production up and down responsive to demand
• Willingness to customize finishes, fabrics, and dimensions
• Attention to sustainable materials and manufacturing practices

We inspect partner workshops regularly through on-site quality audits and product reviews. By developing long-term partnerships built on trust, we’re able to offer customers furniture that’s well-made yet affordable.

Sourcing premium materials

Skilled artisans handcraft our furnishings using premium materials – hardwoods, premium fibers, top-grain leathers – sourced from vendors dedicated to environmental stewardship and ethical practices. We avoid endangered rainforest woods, instead using renewable sources.

Conscientious construction

Our artisan partners employ time-honored techniques perfected over generations of woodworking and craftsmanship. Mortise and tenon joinery. Dovetail and tongue-and-groove construction. Multi-step finishing processes for rich, weathered patinas. Upholstery benches focused on fine details like tufting, topstitching, and trimwork.

We’re hands-on throughout production, reviewing prototypes and providing feedback. Our local teams coach workshops on Breakwater Bay’s exacting standards to ensure each piece lives up to our brand promise.

Rigorous quality control

Each finished item undergoes examinations to verify quality benchmarks are met:

• Frame joinery and weight-bearing structure
• Drawer glides and door alignments
• Finish edges and absence of blemishes
• Upholstery seams and tailored details

Only pieces passing our QC inspections ship out to customers. If any quality issues arise once sold, our responsive support teams quickly make every situation right for our valued customers.
