Beach themes decorating tips

When considering a new decor theme for any room, there are 3 things you should think about:
- the colors, the furniture and the accessories. Here are some tips on how to pull together a beach theme in your home using these 3 elements.

Color

Any good beach decorating theme should blend in the colors of the beach. Sky and ocean blues, sandy beiges and sunshine yellows look authentic. However, a white color scheme accented with blue and yellow pillows and accessories can look good too. One fun idea is to paint the ceiling a yellow shade with the walls a light blue and use beige colored rugsIf you are on a budget, go to your local dollar store for beach themed items such as pictures and other little decorative nic nacs. It is cheap plus it makes a huge impact on any room.

Furniture

Got an old kitchen table that doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the decor? Then why not give it a coat of paint and then add some character by sanding it down a little to give it a rustic look. If you have to buy new furniture then check out some of your local second hand shops:
- you can often get nice furniture items for a fraction of the price.

Some wicker couches with slip covers are ideal and don't forget to include a few pillows. If you are decorating a kitchen, whitewashed wooden kitchen tables and chairs fit in perfectly with this theme.

Accessories

Beach themed accessories can be really inexpensive. If you live by the coast, go for a trip to the beach and pick up some shells there.
Beach decorating can be fun and thrifty if you keep an eye out for a good bargain and know where to shop.
You can decorate with seashells from the dollar store. If you have a joining bathroom to your bedroom, you might want to decorate the side of your sink or bathtub with a little basket of shells or beach themed little specialty soaps.
Now go on and be creative!
