5 ways to create a breezy beach-inspired home
Create that relaxed beach holiday feeling at home with these simple decorating tips.
1. Ocean tones
Create an instant sense of calm by incorporating colours or tones that reflect a holiday vibe. Choose light-bouncing whites contrasted with ocean blue hues.
2. Material mix
Opt for simple surfaces underfoot, such as hardwood floorboards, durable concrete and sisal rugs that are easy-to-maintain to suit a carefree lifestyle. Quality bedding is essential, so invest in comfort, which ensures you’ll rise well-rested in the morning.
3. Beach-inspired decor
Bring a bit of the beach indoors with small objects inspired by a beachcomber’s scavenging finds. Incorporate lightweight materials such as relaxed loose linen sofa covers and sheer curtains to create a light and airy feel in the room.
4. Invigorate your senses
Create a calming space with small fragrant items scattered around your home. Choose candles, room sprays, hand washes and hand creams in summer fragrances that will instantly transport you to a tropical location.
5. Relax to the max
No beach-inspired home is complete without a relaxing outdoor area for afternoon naps and enjoying some downtime reading a book. A hammock or daybed covered in cushions will quickly turn into your favourite spot in summer.
