From simple and airy materials like rattan, to accessories inspired by marine elements such as shells and seaweed, it’s impossible not to feel good when entering a coastal home: the beach house decor we present clears the mind of all worries.

Beach House Decor

Thanks to a wall with sliding doors, all eyes are on the “prize” in this dream living room. To add softness and a casual look to the room, elements in rattan, wicker, and dried flowers were chosen; the sofa with cushions in soft blue tones adds a current motif to the wicker mix.

Effortless Mix of Old and New

As with other types of decor, choosing a path that uses layering, with the right mix of antique furniture or a collection of vintage art, can equally embrace the practicality of vintage and the accessibility of mass-market products.

Here, in this dining room of a coastal retreat, the scene is “set” by covering the floor with a simple jute rug and a striking customized display cabinet. For comfortable seating arrangements, a repainted reclaimed table is paired with a variety of chairs in blue, white, and beige colors. A large mirror, framed with driftwood, adds further depth to the scene.

Relaxed Beach House Decor

With the beach practically at the doorstep, this charming little terrace can withstand wet swimsuits and sandy feet. No problem thanks to a furniture arrangement in a mix of durable materials: a beautiful floor like this easily handles the typical seaside traffic; the wooden coffee table welcomes feet and drinks without coasters; finally, both the pouf with its washable cushion cover and the lovely upholstered sofa offer seating suitable for summer living.

Beach House Bathroom

Emulate the maritime charm of this master bathroom with tiles in various water colors, from darkest to lightest: all with the dominant white background and rattan seating.

White Wins

White paint is great for a beach atmosphere, but how do you make a white space feel welcoming? In a word…texture! Take for example the photo above with its lived-in atmosphere with exposed beams left intact: the walls have hints of blue that prevent the location from being sterile, the same shade of blue is also found on the door.

The sense of peace is undeniable.

The Importance of Wood

White is the ideal color for beach houses as we mentioned before: create visual interest in an all-white room by adding natural wood details for contrast, as in the photo above, where all the house decor is in constant dialogue with the room through many different elements, all in line with the environment and capable of adding further interest…if needed!
