3 Ways to Transform Your Home into a Coastal Paradise

3 Ways to Transform Your Home into a Coastal Paradise

1. Use Things You Already Have and Love

Take a good look around your house. Do you have any pieces of furniture or decorations that remind you of the beach? Seashells and starfish are perfect for this. While my coffee mugs and old bottles and milk glass aren’t really beachy, they fit when you pair them together. Rearrange what you already have to create a more relaxed and beachy vibe.

2. Use Good Lighting and Calming Colors of the Ocean

Make your space feel light and airy. Blues, greens, and shades of white and nature are all great choices for a coastal theme. Start by pulling out anything too bold (unless that’s your coastal vibe!) and bring in soft lighting and colors for a beachy atmosphere.

3. Add Some Handmade Touches by Yourself or Other Artists

Make your coastal paradise truly special by adding some handmade accents. Paint something that’s the wrong color, craft with your beach finds, or visit small local shops in beach towns to support local artists.

With these three simple strategies, you're off to creating a home where you can relax, unwind, and dream of the ocean, even if you're miles away. I’d love to help you fill your home with the handmade part and hope you’ll follow along for more coastal inspiration!
