Waterfront Palette
Beach style rule of thumb: Keep it light and natural. Choose natural materials (and keep natural elements like this wood pile in view) and white paint as needed. Accent with colors and patterns reminiscent of the coast.
Natural Elements
Cluster and style your beach collections (rocks, driftwood, even beach bags) so they serve as ocean-inspired decoration at home.

Sea Glass
Like a collection of tumbled glass you've accumulated from beach walks, collect blue glasswares (cups, bowls, vases) from vintage shops. In this vignette, the glass net floats were found by the tenant's grandfather in the 1940s near Fort Bragg, CA.
Natural Light
Whether you're home is on the waterfront or not, opening the windows for fresh air and natural light is reminiscent of a sunny seaside locale (and promotes sweet dreams).
Alfresco Lounge
Whether you're beachfront or landlocked, create a bright, comfortable outdoor living space by keeping the palette light, the seating low, and the company casual. Extra sunglasses (and maybe some sunblock) help too.
