Wish you could bring the style and simple pleasures of a beach house vacation home, year-round? Creating a coastal vibe in your bedroom is a wonderful way to embrace the spirit of the beach, no matter where you live. But before you start shopping, take a moment to consider what it is you love most about staying by the shore. Is it the simplicity of living out of a suitcase? If so, you’ll want to start by decluttering. Is it the pure freshness of an all-white room? If that’s the case, you know what your color scheme will be! Or perhaps it’s something a bit less tangible, like having extra time to savor that first cup of coffee while reading a few pages of a great novel or flipping through a magazine before your day officially begins. Getting up a bit earlier in summer can be a satisfying way to feel like you have a bit of “vacation” time, even on weekday mornings.
When you’re ready to begin your beachy bedroom makeover, consider giving the space a fresh coat of white paint to kick things off. You can’t go wrong with white! Even if you would normally shy away from white floors, in the bedroom (with less foot traffic) it can be easier to keep this look clean. Top it with a simple, breezy natural fiber rug, and layer the bed with linens in shades of blue and driftwood gray. Woven accents, a collection of seashells, and vintage seaside art are perfect complements to this look.
Swap out heavy drapes or cumbersome shades for a light-as-air white curtains made from cotton voile, and your bedroom will feel instantly breezier. And if you’re short on curtain rods, no problem! A bamboo pole from the garden store, or even a long branch trimmed from outdoors can stand in, as shown above.
Do you have dark, heavy wood bedside tables? If so, consider swapping them out for something lighter, like the distressed white bookcase shown above. Fill it with sea-inspired coffee table books, beach reads, seashells, and driftwood, and top it with a mason jar filled with beach roses. Cover up dark flooring with a fresh, light rug in a beachy blue stripe, or a classic natural fiber rug, and toss a cute pillow on the bed.
Now it’s your turn: Are you a fan of beach style? How do you bring the beach home? Share your thoughts in the Comments!
