The Basics of a Beach Themed Bedroom

Before you start buying anything for your bedroom, you need to decide on what type of style you want for the room. A beach theme is very wide open when it comes to decorating.

For one person, a beach theme may mean seashells, sand and water. While for another person, it may involve more of a luau or Hawaiian theme with surfboards, waves, and fish. What type of direction you take in decorating for the beach theme all depends on your own personal style and what you picture your perfect beach theme looking like.

Colors for a Beach Themed Bedroom

No matter what type of style you are going for in your beach theme, the color blue has to be somewhere in the room. You don't have to necessarily paint your walls blue, but be sure to incorporate blues into your color scheme.

For a nautical theme, concentrate on the colors of red, white, and blue while adding other neutrals like tan and brown into the mix. For a tropical bedroom, you can choose more vibrant colors like yellow, pink, bright blue, and purple. If you want the ultimate beach resort getaway bedroom, choose neutral tones like white, tan, light blue, and light pink or coral.

Furniture for a Beach Themed Bedroom

Lighter furniture works better with most beach themes. You want to be sure to keep things light. When you think of the ocean, you usually think of the light colored sand and blue skies. Incorporate such woods as wicker, driftwood, and bamboo into your furniture if possible. Accessorize your furniture with such things as white or sheer fabric draped over the poles of the bed to add that beach feeling to the room.

Accessories for a Beach Themed Bedroom
