Colors for a beach décor should make you think of the
beach. Light and breezy with lots of blues and maybe even some
yellows. If you prefer neutral tones think of the beige of
beach sand and the color of shells.
Incorporate sea shells, ocean prints, and other seaside accents
that will help bring out the beach in your bedroom. You should
group your accessories in odd numbers. It always looks nice if
your groupings consists of tall and short accessories mixed
together. An interesting group of accents might consists of
some shells aside a nice beach theme frame and a taller
lamp.
Use beach theme prints and photos on your walls to establish
the theme throughout your bedroom. Many people do not know how
to correctly hang a piece of art and this makes a big
difference to the visual appeal. Whether you are hanging a
large oil painting or a small print, the middle of the piece
should be at eye level. If you have a large piece of artwork
you can try using it as a headboard. When hanging prints or
photos behind a table, always place them 7 to 10 inches above
the table. Hang pictures in circular, triangular, or
rectangular geometric groupings to add interest.
When accessorizing your bedroom don’t forget about the
lighting. When purchasing lamps make sure to buy ones that go
with the beach theme you want to create. For beach style
lighting try using clear glass lamps filled with shells or
figural light house shaped lamps.
Area rugs can define a space and pull your bedroom together.
Rest furniture completely on the rug for a warmer effect. Only
use rugs that go with your beach accessories.
Using pillows can add interest as well. Use several at the top
of the bed and vary the texture colors and patterns while still
keeping the color and theme within your overall bedroom
design.
Don’t think you have to buy everything for your bedroom at
once. Shop around to find the perfect accessories to match the
beach theme in your bedroom. You can find bargains at
consignment stores flea markets and yard sales.
