If you long for a serene sanctuary inspired by the sea, pull together a beach look for your bedroom. These spaces are calming and cool- perfect for a summer makeover or a way to get rid of winter doldrums. Take a look around your home to repurpose and reuse furnishings that you already have in your redecorated bedroom, and visit online retailers for additional items and accents.
Some ways to pull together a beach look in your bedroom are:
Use Cool Colors
Opt for cool colors to create a serene space, such as cool-white, light-blue, and soft grey. These hues will also make your room seem more open and airy. Make sure to touch-up trim and woodwork for a fresh-face that will be the foundation of your scheme.
Go Natural
Choose natural fibers and unique textures to achieve that beachy-vibe. Nubby cotton rugs, bamboo linens, paper window-shades, and rattan furniture all reflect this theme.
Create a Gorgeous View
If you are fortunate enough to have a room with a view, make the most of it; let the natural light in by lightening-up your window treatments. Use sheer panels or bamboo pull-shades to optimize the natural beauty outside your window.
If You Don't Have a View, Make One
Invest in a large picture, poster, or photograph that makes you think of lying on a sandy beach. Consider buying a mural of the ocean and installing it on an accent-wall.
Highlight Your Trinkets and Treasures
Display cute and clever beach-inspired accents sparingly around the room. Pull-out your beachcombing treasures: a piece of driftwood, colorful sea-glass, or jar of sand and shells for simple and sea-inspired details.
Use these tips to bring a distinctive and beach-inspired look to your bedroom. Visit online retailers to find pieces to incorporate with your own belongings for an affordable and dramatic refurbishment!
