Wake up at the beach with these coastal-themed bedroom ideas!
As much as we want to, we can’t always wake up to a stunning ocean view and fall asleep to the sound of waves. For city folks and people who are hours away from the sea, bringing the relaxed and carefree vibe of the beach straight to your bedroom is as close as we can get.
In this article, we will give you five ideas that you can easily do to beachify your bedroom!
1. Stick to a coastal color palette
Beach-themed and coastal decor take their cues from the ocean for their color scheme.
A beach-themed color palette typically has white or beige like the sandy shores, a myriad of blue shades, seafoam green, coral tones from seashells, and even some tones of gray.
Incorporating these colors into your bedroom is a surefire way to give it that coastal feel. Try painting your walls or putting pops of color in your room through accent pillows.
2. Use natural materials
Using natural materials that show a little wear-and-tear is a great way to capture the beach theme. Distressed wood and natural fibers like jute can go a long way.
Aside from shiplap, distressed wood is one defining characteristic of coastal decor for that quaint rustic charm. You can whitewash your furniture to get a distressed effect instantly.
Light wooden furniture goes well with a beach-themed palette. Other materials like natural fiber baskets and jute rugs are also great for coastal bedrooms.
3. Craft some seashell decor
Crafting with seashells is an easy way to create a beachy atmosphere. There’s so many DIY projects you can do with a bag of seashells, from picture frames, to candleholders, wall art, and everything in between. Here are a few easy crafts that you can use as inspiration.
If you’re feeling a little lazy, putting seashells in a glass bowl is an easy-breezy way to display these natural beach souvenirs.
There are affordable seashell lights that you can easily purchase from Amazon to get seashell accents in your room, like this one.
4. Coordinate your beddings
Nautical stripes are popular as bedspreads for beach-themed bedrooms, but even just sticking to plain bedspreads in your color palette would be effective. The important thing is that your bed looks fresh and cozy.
You can incorporate shells, aquatic life, surfboards, and other beachy elements to your bedspreads too.
5. Use breezy curtains
Maximizing natural light is important for a beachy bedroom. Sheer curtains do a good job of letting in light while maintaining privacy. Sheer curtains also give off a breezy vibe that makes a room feel fresh and cheery.
Try using jute or natural fiber rope for curtain cords. You can also add seashells on the cord for some extra seaside charm.
Seashells make great curtain hooks too!
