How to Go Coastal Without Being Tacky

As springtime lingers and summer vibes kick into full gear, the desire to embrace a little beach-theme décor might be all the inspiration and motivation you need for your decorating. Not only that, but research shows that spending time at the sea has added health benefits as well.

Perhaps you’d like to try making the ocean air last a bit longer — so how does one add a “coastal vibe” without looking tacky, or becoming too costly? Channel your inner “Vitamin Sea” with some of our favorite tips and tricks here:

1.    Incorporate beach art.

Think sunset photos, sand-swept horizon shots, or cool paintings that commemorate time away at the sea.

2.    Creative curtains.

Adding some free-flowing fabric in ocean-themed colors and patterns can be a lovely addition to your theme. Blues, pastels, or cloud-colored whites all come to mind.

3.    Surround a mirror with ropes and planks.

Purchase a few yards of decorative rope at your favorite fabric shop or even a dollar store. Next, pile it on with your hot glue bun, and don’t hold back!                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

4.    Add a splash of color to your furniture.

From a whimsical sea-foam green to nautical stripes to a distressed wooden feel, incorporate beach-theme colors by adding just the right coastal paints to your furniture.

5.    Make it scent-sational.

Try to incorporate some beautiful ocean-inspired candles, essential oils, or with your choice cleaning products to put you into a better mood and help calm your spirit.
