How to Give Your Space Beach House Vibes
Why wait for a house on the beach to design your dream beach house? Whether you live in a 400 square foot studio apartment in New York City or in a home that’s many, many miles from the sea, some beach home decor will make your space feel as if it has an ocean view.
But we’re not suggesting you turn your apartment into a shrine of white wicker and nautical stripes. Instead, focus on ways to add that on-holiday vibe by bringing in beachy elements in a less obvious way. Infuse soft palettes with colorful, tropical pops where necessary. Mixing textures that evoke warmth, like raffia and wood, is also a good start. Then think of bringing the outdoors inside by incorporating an abundance of plants and even some outdoor furniture to give you all the tropical feels for that vacation state of mind at home. Our best advice, though? Nothing should feel too precious; a beach house should instill in you a sense of peace, happiness, and nostalgia. Below is our favorite beach home decor to help you create your dream beach house regardless of your proximity to the sea.
For the Living Room
Your living room is where you spend most of your time; it’s likely where you sip your morning coffee, wind down after a long day to read, and where you entertain friends, so you want this room to feel light, happy, and inviting. Think of incorporating color fused with warm textures like crunchy linen and jute to imbue homey comforts and a cheerful energy.
