How to Create a Beach Themed Bedroom
The usual interest in creating a beach theme bedroom is because of the reflective feeling that the beach usually invokes. This kind of atmosphere alone is the best reason why you want to try it as a bedroom interior inspiration. Aside from just relying on the accessories there are also a lot of other ways for your bedroom to completely reflect the beach.
Color Palette
The best aspect of choosing a beach interior design for your bedroom is the color palette that you can actually choose from when you decide to repaint your walls. Since the beach is always associated with the sun’s warmth, the cool breeze of wind and the relaxing feel of the sand on one’s feet, you can recreate this environment by using the colors that would invoke the said elements.
Choosing a color palette for your sea themed bedroom needs to reflect the colors that we usually associate it with, that is why you need to work with the cool colors of blue and white as base. If you don’t want to stay with having a monochromatic room, you can always add contrasting colors of brown, green, yellow, orange and other shades that can help you recreate the beach environment. You can also try to be creative with the use of other colors that you want for your beach themed room as long as it will create that harmony that you want to achieve.
Have a Simple Layout
If you are doing a remodel of your own room, you need to decide if you want to keep the old layout of your bedroom. The most important thing that you need to keep in mind is to not overdo it with the accessories and furniture. Some beach themed bedrooms come off as tacky because of too many added unnecessary “beach related decors”. If you don’t want your room to give off that nautical museum vibe you really need to put extra effort in choosing the right pieces.
Do not force the accessories into your room, let the beach decor be natural and not overbearing. Choose a few pieces that go well with the furniture that you have picked for your room. Rather than being too concentrated on decor pieces that scream of the beach, you need to shift your attention into what will work well with your layout and room floor plan. Work with what your layout can actually offer and pick furniture that will show your personality and add the accents that will complete your desired theme.

We’ve been talking about what the beach environment can give us because this theme is not just about what you see. The experience that you personally have with the scenery is what actually made you decide to incorporate it with your bedroom interior. If you have fallen in love with water front property, a setting sun or had a great time while surfing the waves, this will be enough reason to push through with the beach decor for your bedroom.
Beachy bedroom ideas bring out the texture along with the experience that you had. Aside from your bedcover, accessories such as flor rugs, curtains and wall decors can introduce the texture that will help you complete your dream beach interior.

Mixing traditional and modern accents that will go along with the beach colors that you have for your bedroom will complete the contemporary look that you want to dress your room with.
Nowadays, surfboards can be used as accents to your room, especially if you like the sport. It is a great way to give an extra character and personality to your bedroom. Other options for beach themed bedroom decor ideas can be with simple rope rugs and bedspreads with subtle hints of the beach or the ocean.

Additional Tips for Your Themed Room
Declutter Your Room
Before you start putting in any additional accents into your bedroom, make sure that you remove all unnecessary items from your room. Anything that has nothing to do with your planned theme should be thrown out or stored properly. Make room for any furniture or accessories that you might want to add in your room. Create a more comfortable space for your beach themed room to be peaceful and calm.
Maximize the Use of Natural Light
Aside from the sea and the sand, another charm of the beach is its natural lights. For you to recreate the interior design properly, you need to make use of whatever natural light that your room is getting. Keep in mind that the lights will play a big factor in order for you to properly carry out this design. If there’s not enough light, you can make use of a mirror to bounce off the light around the room.
Select a Beachy Lamp
Another thing that can set the ambience of the room is the use of beachy lampshades. Instead of using fluorescent white lights, you can try a bulb that gives off an atmosphere of warmth in the beach during the daytime. Choosing blue, green or turquoise light shades is the easiest way to replicate the warmth of the beach splendor.
Use Scented Candles or Air Fresheners
If the lights are not enough, getting yourself beach scented candles and ocean scent air fresheners will also do the trick. The mood will automatically change once these scents are in action. However, before spraying these scents, make sure that your room doesn’t have any other odors. Ventilate your room properly, open the windows to air out your room. After everything smells fresh you can spray or light that candle at once. Always keep an eye on the candles though to avoid accidents.
Make Use of Murals
Another helpful tip will be to paint a beach themed mural on your walls. Monochrome lovers who don’t want to make use of different shades of paint can also decorate a wall to the theme for it to get along well with the whole design. If you don’t know how to paint, there are wall stickers that can pass off as murals once stuck on the pristine white walls. You can actually buy them from many online stores. One of our featured photos actually made use of the said sticker. Put a little care while working on it so that it will not have obvious creases once stuck.
Embracing The Coastal Style
With shorelines being such a big draw, it’s no surprise that easygoing coastal style is a popular look, and what better place to develop a similar carefree and serene vibe than in a beach-themed bedroom? Cool colors, well-worn natural textures, and coastal patterns can be used to create a fresh, easygoing style that will make every day feel like a summer vacation.
Begin with the correct backdrop, whether it’s stark, whiter-than-white, a cream-based color, or a stormy grey tone, and create the design from there. Other natural colors to consider include whites, greys, misty greens, marine blues, sand, and driftwood browns.
Use white-painted or weathered-wood furnishings to keep the look fresh but relaxed (the more beaten the better). Then, to soften the plain white or grey palette, add texture to the room with paneling, baskets, woven rugs, and knitted throws or cushions.
Finally, enjoy the holiday spirit with plenty of coastal-inspired items, such as nautical-motif pillows and storm lanterns, and add character to your space with driftwood-look wood.
Final Thoughts
You have all the freedom when it comes to decorating your room. It will be possible to carry out all of your design ideas but you cannot simply give it a go. Whatever comes into your mind you need to list it first, gather all of your ideas and see what would work for your room. Always try to make the interior cohesive, create a more harmonious design by sticking to the basic and knowing the right accessories that you can incorporate.
If you feel that you are going overboard with the beach theme it will never hurt to ask someone else’s opinion. Seeing the whole thing from another person’s perspective might just be the way to keep yourself in check. For any theme that you want your bedroom to have, you always need to keep in mind the preferences that the room owner would love. As long as the theme does not limit the room’s function and the accessories do not get in the way of your daily activities, this beach room design idea will be worth the try.
