It is remarkable that summer has arrived and with it, the holidays. Obviously there is no better place to enjoy this season of the year than the sea and the sand. We are fortunate to live near the Mediterranean but we can all give a new look to our home and decorate it in a summery way. Today we want to give you 3 essential tips to turn our beach house into a true paradise to relax.
Colors and lighting are key
It enhances the marine environment, one of the main objectives when decorating it. When it comes to colors and lighting, this should be our greatest inspiration. The favorite colors for this are blue and white tones, those that remind us of the sea. We can add a touch of orange to give it that lighting and reflection of the sun. Another option is also to paint the walls with thick vertical stripes, making the summer atmosphere stand out more and turning that area into the focus of attention, giving a different, fun and nautical style.
Sunlight is great for that summer feeling in the home, so it’s important to make sure you have an open space that has plenty of natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrors can be our ally in this section. In addition, it is a good alternative to complement the environment with decorative lamps in the form of lighthouses to make us feel like a real boat at night. A recommendation is to try to create an open space in the house as it allows light and ventilation to flow better, giving tranquility and serenity to the environment.
Wood: the basis of every boat
Wood is one of the best materials for decoration, with wood we achieve that true nautical look. It is resistant and offers a cozy, natural and vintage style, but at the same time homely and elegant. Therefore, it is suitable for use on the floor as a floating platform and on furniture, using totally white furniture provides luminosity and we will have that contrast throughout the composition of the room.
Another ideal complement are decorative decorations such as fishing nets, starfish, anchors,… But remember not to abuse these elements and not to exaggerate with the decorations, otherwise the atmosphere will be heavy and unsophisticated, something we want to avoid in a space intended for relaxing. Remember our motto: less is more.
The landscape is the main protagonist
The best part about owning a beach home is the spectacular scenery and view. The best thing is to be able to wake up in the morning to the sound of the waves of the sea and that characteristic smell. Resorting to the elements of nature that surrounds us is the best way to complement the decoration of the house. For this reason, you can also use all the decorative elements that remind us of the sea and the beach. Nowadays, we can set all this without having to be on the beachfront. Images from Pinterest.
