[Decor] Beach House Themed Room

Our summer-inspired decor post is for the beach babe living in the city, who always long for the calming and healing power of the beach. Decorate your bedroom with a beach house theme so you can be transported to the shore every single day no matter how near or far the ocean is!

A beach-inspired room is a casual yet zen-like design that is equal parts airy and comfortable. Using ocean and natural surroundings as inspiration, I've rounded up the essentials on how to turn your urban bedroom into your very own private beach sanctuary.

1. Paint
To start off, pick a fresh color that is reminiscent of the Caribbean Sea such as seafoam green or soft turquoise.

2. White-Washed Furniture
The aim is to incorporate furniture which appears to have aged naturally after being outside in the salty sea air. Consider this for the bedside table, photo frames, door or even your closet.

3. Beddings
Neutral-colored sheets and blankets with beach prints like corals and starfish are perfect.

8. Candle
Scented candles with marine notes of salty sea air combined with a whisper of wild beach grass and sand dunes, with the slightest scent of gentle sea foam as it reaches the shore will evoke the soft summer scent of a morning stroll along the beach.

9. Ocean-Themed Knick-Knacks
Display a miniature lighthouse on a shelf or better yet, hang a ship captain's hat behind your door.

10. Potted Palm Tree

Doesn't matter if you get a real one or a low-maintenance artificial tree, either way this'll give your room an instant tropical feel.
