The Tommy Bahama Home Living Room Golden Isle Sofa 1604-33 has colors and patterns that are perfect for your beach-inspired home.
Would you like to learn some tips that could help you set up a beach-themed home? Here they are –
Open and Breezy
You would need tons of light to make the look appear legit. To let in more sunlight, use sheer curtains only and pair these with a white slipcover.
You can add to the breeziness of the room by hanging a wood-framed mirror. This should be a commanding object that would also reflect the light outside.
Surround these elements with other items in varying scale but in the same style.
Pair Colors
What could be more coastal than an all-white room? Just add a few bursts of color and you’d achieve a sunny look that’s hard to equal.
Use Pearly Shells
Find some items made with shells like a chandelier, a lampshade, or any piece of furniture. The shells offer a more elegant and sophisticated beach appeal.
Be Minimalist
No coastal home is complex. It is often understated with subtle colors such as blue and white. Pair this color palette with any coral-inspired accessory to complete the uncluttered look that’s perfect for your chosen theme.
Search for Eccentric Colors
Beach-inspired homes can also appear interesting if you add a little quirkiness to them. Tropical elements that may seem simple could offer the eccentricity needed for your home to still stand out. Consider having pineapple wallpaper, some basket pendant lighting fixtures, and some beach balls by the entryway.
Wanna bring in some sand? Don’t hesitate.
Being eccentric does not mean that the peaceful feeling would vanish. You can still have a soothing coastal theme by incorporating beach glass bottles, white shells and furnishings.
Rattan and Wicker Are Your Best Buddies
Rattan chairs look natural in a coastal environment. Add it to a casual dining room or put it in your patio to make the most of the picturesque views outdoors.
Use Water-Worthy Blues
Any adorable beach home has a shade of blue somewhere. So go ahead and make those white walls stand out by blending them with varying shades of blue. Doing so will give you a calming effect, one that’s common in coastal areas. Finalize the look by adding nautical pillows and some wicker baskets as storage units.
Use Assorted Textures
A wide array of fabrics could provide a relaxed atmosphere that is equal to beach living. A small painting with hints of blue will evoke visions of the skies and the grand ocean. Have this framed and placed atop the coffee table. Add balled twine and some distressed accessories for a weathered look.
Set Up a Gallery Wall
Create a wall that would serve as your gallery for those simple black frames. Switch the artworks that you would use in these frames as the seasons change. You can also frame simple works such as starfish and shells.
The Winners Only Bedroom Panel King Bed BAC2001KN will sit beautifully in any rustic or ocean-inspired bedroom.
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Why not take your theme and go all the way? While having painted the walls with white and adding blue accessories, create a boathouse of sorts by hanging an oar right above your bed.
The Marine Dining and Living Areas
Buy some chairs which you could paint with semi-gloss white. White is a color that would make these pieces disappear right to the walls. The space would then look less busy and could even help open it. White furniture on white walls as backdrop also is a super cool pairing which has a huge impact on your design.
Use this same mixture on your living room. To offset the monochrome look, use flowers and accents that come in vibrant colors. Limit their use, though, in order to stick to your marine theme.
