Coastal Creation:  How to design a beach inspired room

The first step to designing your interior with a coastal feel is to use the colors of the beach.  By using the calming blues, greens, tans and whites you will easily create a refreshing room that will take you away to your favorite vacation spot.

The crisp and calm light blue shades will transform your space into a cool and light-hearted space that is the color of the endless Carolina blue skies.  The tan, of the sand, will warm up the space and create a cozy, earthy feeling.  The green of the sea grass brings life to the room with a pop of energizing color.  The color of the worn fencing, a greyish-brown is a great neutral that will give a sense of history to the room.  The white of the clouds, breaking waves and sea shells provide a nice neutral backdrop that is crisp and clean.  An extra touch of a seashell peachy color will also add a warm accent to the room.

 

 

For the final touch you can add a few beach-inspired items or accessories to your room.  Do not go over the top or you’ll look like a souvenir store.  Just a well-placed piece of artwork or keepsake is all you need.  Maybe a seashell or two, some oars propped up in a corner or some sea glass in a vase.

 

 

 

With these simple steps you will have the relaxing, coastal inspired room of your dreams!
