If you are living in a beach cottage or wish to give a sunny coastal look to your home décor, then you must follow the home décor tricks that we are bringing to you. You can incorporate a few of them and mix them with another spacious style of interior decoration to get the best appeal. You can also use them all together to get a very authentic beach style look in your house. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started.

The Shabby-Chic Living Room- this kind of décor is being loved around the globe for its unique appeal. The shabby chic style is a contrast to its own self. However, it is very simple and quite appealing at the same time. You can get floral designs in the house, introduce some lacy curtains and go for very feminine touches in the room. You don’t have to decorate it all in pink color or with red roses. Just keep it simple, sophisticated and feminine. It should have a touch to sensitivity to look perfect. This makes the room quite calming and soothing to stay in. Monogrammed pillows and white sheer curtains can add to the amazing looks of the room within moments.
The Patterned Floor Kitchen- in order to give a totally refreshed feeling to your living room, you must start with a patterned floor. The most popular choice is the checkered floor that has dual toned tiles (one each in light and dark colors). Most people chose two differing shades of brown here. The darker shade is usually a dull brick reddish-brown and the other is a pale khaki color that makes your kitchen come to life. The colors have a very warming effect and they are perfect for your beach cottage designs. You can even go for other patterns of your choice. We would suggest you to stay with bigger and bolder geometric patterns to get the best look.
Beach Colored Bedroom- in order to give your bedroom the perfect beach look, it is best that you stick to blue and white. The combination of these two colors would definitely be great for your bedroom. Remember, you have to go for a blue accent over the white backdrop. Use this theme extensively in your bed sheets, followed by the curtains and more. This is one of the best known themes for getting elegant beach style décor.
Mismatched Nautical Interiors- In order to get the best results with your interior decoration ideas for a beach cottage, it would be great if you could stick to the mismatched nautical theme. All the items in the house would be united by a common color, theme or décor idea but they would themselves be standalone pieces. This also means that you don’t have to buy sets for your house. Instead, you have to focus on common themes in different furniture items and set them all together to get a perfect look.

The Bright And Colorful Beach House Living Room

October 22, 2014 by j03c6930 Leave a Comment

Have you ever thought about giving a brand new look to your beach house? Sure, everyone talks about whites and pale colors when it comes to beach house decoration. However, this doesn’t mean that you only have to stick to the same color scheme. The problem with white is that too much of this color can make your house look really dull. In fact, white is often known to be a color that promotes dullness or emptiness. For the cheerful souls out there, this is definitely not a great choice. What do you do in this case? Nothing, simply follow as bright a beach house décor theme as your own personality and you would be getting some really great décors to boast about.

The first thing that you need to consider here is the wall paint. You don’t have to choose white here. Simply chose a pastel shade that is lighter in color. The intensity of the color is dependent largely on the hue that you wish to see yourself. Therefore, decide the intensity but stick to the pastel shades. Any shades that are darker than this would definitely not be giving the best look to your house. The beaches are large open spaces near the sea that give you a calm feel. Your beach house, therefore, should be as spacious as possible and the color of your walls would be one of the most important factors to consider in this case. If you think that using white is the right choice, then we suggest that you accent your walls along the lines with a very light shade of cucumber green. Keep it as light as possible and keep the lines crisp. This would make the room look greener in sunlight.

The second thing that you need to think about is also the most important. We are talking about the furniture that should be used in your beach style house. The furniture should definitely be made of wicker. It is light, trendy and is also available in many different colors because of which you can get a great look for your house, specially the living room. Chose very simple and straight edges wicker furniture. The color should be a dark chocolate brown so that you can get a great contrast for your wall colors. You can chose another solid and dark color as well. Now, you must adopt a few whites and then chose thickly padded sofas. If you chose a whiter and plainer upholstered and padded sofa that is made with very dark brown colored wicker, your room would already look like heaven.

Bring a splash of color to your house and use yellow, red and ocean blue colored cushion, lamp shades etc. in the room. Make sure that the cushions are specially bright and colorful. Don’t use matching cushions and follow the nautical theme here. Orange is also a great color. Team this up with a neutral colored wicker rounded table and you are ready with one of the most interesting and beautiful beach house designs ever.

Decorating a beach home living room is still an easy job. However, when it comes to decorating the bedroom, people are often puzzled what to do. It is quite obvious as you can’t follow a white single colored theme in your bedroom. Therefore, we are bringing some beautiful beach home bedroom design ideas for you. You would be finding them to be more charming, graceful and quite energetic as compared to the calmer living room. This is your own personal space and you can be more adventurous here. Nonetheless, we are bringing a host of design ideas that would definitely appeal to your tastes. Have a look!

The green breezy bedroom- green, rather pale emerald green is one of the least talked about colors when it comes to beach home decoration. However, it is one of the most effective and calming too. No matter how much we talk about it (or how much we don’t), there are hundreds of beach houses out there that depend on green, instead of blue, for a calming effect. This theme is based on the same principle. Chose a shade of white that is lightly painted with green. Don’t go for a typical green colors, keep the walls as white as possible. There should only be a hint of green here. Now, buy a beautiful metal bed. We are using some nautical elements here so a rounded edge metal bed in deep emerald green would work like magic. Use white bed sheets and duvet covers. Now, team them up with large emerald green cushions. Finally, add some white small cushions that come with a huge starfish print. Any other furniture used in this space would also be green with white accessories or vice versa. Perfect for the calmer personalities.
Beach bunk room- who said it was all about white or bright colors? You can go in the opposite direction and depend solely on the earthen and warm tones of wood to get a beach bunk room. The idea is to paint the walls like wooden pallets and leave the accented edges to white. This should not be an egg white shade. Chose a creamier shade of white so that it doesn’t look out of place with the brownish interiors. Finally, get a bunk bed or an ottoman style bed that comes in a very dark and deep shade of chocolate brown. Use a cream white bed sheet and light brown, dark brown accessories in the room. You can also throw in some orange in this décor as the warm honey shade of the walls would suit with a dull orange quilt or comforter really well.
White but blue bedroom- have you ever thought about a total whitewash of the room that comes with a very pale shade of blue? This is one of the easiest design ideas to follow. You just need white chairs, a white bed and white cabinets. Paint them all in a very light shade of indigo blue and team them up with off white walls in order to get the most oceanic effect in your room.

We can never stop talking about the beach home bedroom designs. There is so much to use and so many elements to incorporate in this design theme that you would love the fact that you are living near the beach, enjoying the sand and the sunshine. Here, we are presenting a few more beach home bedroom design ideas so that you can find the best before you begin with the décor process. Remember, these ideas are simple, interesting and very appealing. So buckle up and get ready for the all new furniture and décor tips that would work well for you.

A bedroom with a chocolaty twist- chocolate brown is one of the most popular colors to be used for home decoration all around the world. The color is deep, dark, warm and comforting, all at the same time. This is also why it is so popular. You can use a very light shade of green or even indigo blue on the walls. Then use a chocolate colored bed and top it off with a white mattress and bed sheet. Finally, go for chocolate colored (and slightly colorful patterned) brown sheets. You can also use patterned sheets on the top that can be mixed well with plain brown bed sheets. Finally, add some light blue and white sea themed cushions to the bed and you are ready for a beautiful bedroom. The rest of the furniture of the room should be a lighter shade of brown.
The shipwrecked bedroom- no, it’s not really shipwrecked or messy but the appeal is very sandy because of which this bedroom theme gets the name. The walls of the room would not be white. Unlike the other design ideas that most of the beach home bedroom designs follow, we are going to keep every kind of upholstery in white and use a sandy, grainy brown or yellow color on the walls. The color should be medium-dark in order to get the best appeal for your bedroom. Remember, you have to be really careful while selecting the hue or the room would appeal unnecessarily dark and gloomy. The bed should be a very dark chocolate brown canopy bed with sheer white curtains. Other furniture of the house should be shades of lighter brown in order to get an authentic appeal. Remember, you only have to use white with fabric and nothing else. This would help the room in looking really calm, soothing and beautiful. Use white sheer curtains to complete the look.
Coast inspired peppy décor- we have mostly used two colors in the beach bedroom décor ideas till date. It is time to go for something more colorful. Start with the walls. Be bold and use teal on the walls. This beautiful deep shade would definitely be providing more personality to the walls. Now, use dark brown colored bamboo, rattan, wicker or cane beds and bed furniture. Team them up with deep lemon green plain curtains, white bed sheets with beautiful floral prints and similar cushions and pillows. The room would definitely look more interesting and inviting than ever.
