Beach-Style Decorating Ideas

Can’t find time to make it to the beach? From color to accessories, add some of these coastal twists to your home to create an ocean feel. A traditional white and blue color palette is an easy way to make any room in your home feel coastal, especially when there’s plenty of natural light.

If you prefer to decorate your home with dark wood tones, balance these pieces with airy colors and decor elements that nod to seaside origins. For all practical purposes, a screened-in porch or spacious patio serve as ideal spaces for a beach-style decor. Whether you’re simply styling a few Adirondack chairs on your patio or going all out with an outdoor seating area fit for a crab cookout, there are so many ways to decorate any outdoor living space with beach-inspired touches.

Take inspiration from the natural, sturdy fibers often used to decorate beachfront homes by pairing wicker chairs with a fluffy upholstered sofa for a still formal yet relaxed feel. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite coast clad homes that we’ve featured to give you just a little inspiration for your vision of the sea.
