Creating A Beachy Vibe at Home
One of my favorite places to vacation is the beach. I’m sure I’m not alone in that! There’s just something peaceful about the ocean breeze. On my last trip, I thought, “Why can’t I feel like this all of the time?” Today’s post is a result of that. How hard would it be to create a beachy vibe at home? I think it’s doable!
I’m not suggesting you make every nook and cranny of your home full of beach-related items. Not unless you live on the coast. But you could use one or two of these in your house to get that beachy feel or do a complete outside porch area, etc.
Let’s start with a great piece of furniture. This nice comfy couch in a soft hue would be perfect! It says “relax”, open the window, and enjoy the day.
Another subtle way to create a beachy vibe is with an accent chair. I love the detail of the spindle legs and linen fabric. A pretty ocean-inspired pillow (see below) would add the perfect touch.
A beachy vibe doesn’t have to mean artwork full of sunsets and lighthouses. (If those are your thing, more power to you, but it doesn’t HAVE to be.) These prints say I love the ocean and all things nature, but in a subtle way. I also love scenes of the ocean or ocean towns printed in black and white.
Poufs are the latest trend! You can put these versatile cushions just about anywhere. Use them for sitting, as ottomans, side tables, etc. They can be leather, rattan, or just about anything else. I’d stick to the soft and cushiony type for a beach vibe.
Don’t you love the smell of the ocean?! A candle is an easy way to create a beachy vibe at home. An easy and inexpensive way – even better!
I LOVE this rug! The blue hues are so peaceful. Can’t you see this in a sunroom with the white accent chair above?! Gorgeous.
Again, beach decor doesn’t just mean lighthouses. A glass orb in blue/green tones placed on a bookshelf or on top of your coffee table book about whales would be lovely and subtle.
Don’t forget an accent pillow! You can go with a solid color in a soft tone of seafoam green or blue, or even white on white.
For a less subtle approach, buy a printed pillow. This would look lovely on the accent chair I posted above.
And of course, lamps are key in defining the look of a room. This is not the time or place for a heavy black floor lamp.
Whether you’re at the actual beach, or in your own beach-inspired room, I hope you’re having a great, relaxed day!
