Your entryway isn't just a place to take off your shoes—it’s the first impression, the welcome note, the handshake of your home. And when you’re inspired by the elegance of the California coast, it becomes something more: a modern sanctuary that greets guests with both elevated design and unforgettable scent.
At GOUDNES.com , we believe in designing experiences that evoke place and memory. Here's how to bring that modern coastal chic vibe into your entryway—starting with scent, and finishing with style.

- CREATE CONTRAST
- INCORPORATE ORGANIC TEXTURE
- ELEVATE WITH ACCESSORIES
- FINISH WITH LIGHT THAT GLOWS
- FINISH PRODUCT IS YOURS
PERFECT PLACE TO START...
1. Lead with Scent—It’s the First Thing They’ll Notice
Before the aesthetic, people notice how your space smells. Create an olfactory moment the second someone steps through the door. Our 100% Soy Wax Candle (that is part of our Limited Spot Luxury Scent Subscription) , subtly displayed in a matte black or matte white vessel, add a sculptural, modern element while infusing the air with California coast-inspired fragrance.
Not sure where to start? Try COSTA DORADA for fresh sea air and sun-bleached wood, or NARANJAL for notes of citrus and salty air.
Every scent in our collection is hand-crafted in-house, non-toxic, and infused with 24K gold—because luxury should be intentional and clean.
CREATING YOUR GOLDEN HOUR
2. Create Contrast with a Modern Black & White Palette
Modern coastal chic isn't all beige and blue. Embrace your sophisticated side with a striking black and white base—clean lines, crisp finishes, and minimal clutter. white marble table base, matte ceramic accents instantly elevate your entry.
Add a signature GOUDNES candle in sleek matte black glass for a pop of elegance and warm glow.
3. Incorporate Organic Texture—Inspired by the Coast
California coastal design is rooted in nature. Think driftwood, stone, and woven textures—but reimagined in a modern context. Links of marble, branches from trees, and unique stone displays mixed with metals create a modern chic concept that will make you feel like you're surrounded by the coast.
4. Elevate with Purposeful Accessories
Choose pieces that do more than decorate—they tell a story. Layer a few design books, bring in metals like brass, and a GOUDNES Soy Wax Candle - for an effortless touch of scent and style. The aroma will great your guest with freshness and a sense that they have arrived at your home.
5. Finish with Light That Glows, Not Glares
Coastal lighting should be soft, golden, and welcoming. Use rattan made chandeliers with warm toned lights.
Then, light a GOUDNES soy candle —our 100% soy wax blend burns cleanly and evenly, while real 24K gold flakes dance in the glow.
Create a Signature Entry That’s Unmistakably Yours
A modern coastal entry isn’t just beautiful—it’s intentional. It’s the signature scent that lingers. The subtle sparkle of gold. The perfect pairing of bold contrast and soft textures. It’s the embodiment of a lifestyle that values clean beauty, quiet luxury, and laid-back sophistication.
