Seaside Decor Ideas

The sea , white sand , and water lapping at the ship hull… those are images and sensations we would like to have at home all year long. So , if you like this atmosphere , here are some tips and ideas which might help you to add a holiday touch to your interior decoration.

Seaside spirit

You wish to create a seaside atmosphere? Use natural colours and materials. Find some shades of blue from navy blue and blue-grey to blue-green. To adorn those blues , you can use tints of beige as well as sand , linen and whites.

For the materials , we use sea rush and natural fibres , string , wicker , driftwood or aged wood.

Striped patterns might also adorn your décor. However , be careful not to overload your room.

Seaside Inspiration

Fishing Hut bedroom (here) 

We fall for:

• The yard lamps used as bedside lamps
• The straw hat collection becoming decorative items

We like:

• The  blue-grey colours of the shelf matching the head-board;
• The wicker basket used as ceiling lamps.

A Ship Cabin Bedroom

We like:

• The ultra-simplified style of this bedroom where you really feel like you are in a ship cabin. Once again we can find the aged wood , the straw hat , the stripped patterns and the white colour. 

The Wooden Room

To keep in mind:

• The wooden head-board with a high shelf to save place: aesthetic and practical.
