Embrace the Coastal Vibe
The coastal theme is all about creating a relaxing and airy atmosphere that evokes the feeling of being by the ocean. Here are some tips to help you bring this serene style into your home:
Color Palette: Opt for soft, muted colors like sandy beige, ocean blues, and seafoam greens. These colors create a sense of calm and mimic the natural hues of the beach.
Natural Materials: Incorporate natural materials such as driftwood, jute, and rattan to add texture and an organic feel to your decor.
Nautical Accents: Use nautical accents like rope, shells, and glass floats to enhance the seaside vibe. Consider weaving these rope string lights from Michael's between objects on a mantel, shelf or table centerpiece for an easy and fun nautical touch.
Light and Airy Fabrics: Choose light and airy fabrics like linen and cotton for your cushions, throws, and curtains to keep your space feeling fresh and breezy.
Adding Beach-Inspired Decor
Integrating specific beach-inspired decor items can help solidify the coastal theme in your home. Here are some recommendations:
Handcrafted Recycled Glass Vases from India These vases add a touch of eco-friendly sophistication to your home. The soft hues of the recycled glass are reminiscent of the tranquil ocean waters, and they look stunning filled with fresh summer flowers or as standalone pieces.
Stunning Hammered Trays Versatile and elegant, hammered trays are perfect for serving or displaying summer items. The metallic finish and hammered texture add a handcrafted feel. Use them to showcase seashells, candles, or a collection of small potted plants.
Seashell Garland: Draping a garland of seashells across your mantel or along a shelf adds an instant beachy touch. Beach Grass Cottage has a variety of garlands to choose from for beautiful texture and flow.
Candle Holders: Light materials such as sea glass or driftwood bring a beautiful coastal vibe to any mantel or table. Consider incorporating unique candleholders to elevate your beach-inspired décor like those at Bella Coastal Décor.
Our natural wood candleholders are a versatile option that can complement various seasonal looks. These holders create a cozy, seaside ambiance, and the natural wood adds warmth and rustic charm to your space.

Beach-Themed Artwork: Hanging artwork featuring beach scenes, ocean waves, or coastal landscapes can bring the beauty of the shore indoors.
