It’s been quite some time since I spend time relaxing by the beach. Missing the blue ocean and the sound of the waves crashing in. Smell of sea salt and soft sands tickling your toes. So I guess what’s better to inspire your homes other than the relaxing beachy vibe!

Some ideas to bring some serene coastal ideas to your home (even when it’s located nowhere near the beach!) :

Seashells

Turn the seashells collected from your beach vacation into fun crafts, momentos and  beautiful ways to decorate your home.

Frame your shells - display on your console table or mantle

Display them like House of Turquoise here

A shelf with favourite vacation photos and mementos in a jar

Dump the shells in a jar - a perfect centerpiece

Paint the Sea

Bring in the hues of blue, drift woods and nautical stripes for the calming beach effect.

Bring in the blues

Nautical stripes and serene washed-out white walls

Seagrass rugs, carpet or furniture will add a nice tropical touch to any room

Just a few accessories like the wind chime, fishing lantern and pictures of sea birds creates a perfect nautical theme

Sail Away

Think miniature boats, life floats and what you can find on white sandy beaches

Add in some nautical affair with boats and buoys
