When most of us think of summer, we instantly associate it with the beach.

 Whether you live by the sea or you are just a beach enthusiast, you can easily incorporate beachy decor to transform your home into a summer getaway.

However, to keep your home looking like cheesy summer cottage stick to the following decor tips.

Stick with Neutral Tones with Pops of Colors For a home to feel genuinely coastal, it starts with the color palette. You will find that most beachy decors are pretty neutral but have pops of color. Large furniture pieces like couches or dining room tables are white, while pillow, placemats, or other decor pieces add color.

Utilize Nautical Stripes

Nothing is more beachy than navy blue nautical stripes. Since nautical stripes can be a statement piece, depending on your preference, you can decide to emphasize or de-emphasize stripe.

Incorporate Warm Elements Like Rattan and Wicker Rattan and wicker bring warm natural colors into your space.

You can incorporate these natural materials in a variety of ways, whether it through furniture or baskets. In coastal decor, you will find that your color palette will often contain blues and greens.

Add Coastal Accessories

Adding decor pieces to display on your shelves and coffee table is a must, but be cautious that your knickknacks don’t get too corny.Look for more natural accessories such as driftwood, sea glass, or coral.
