If you have a house where you reside during the year and you have another residence on the beach, surely you do not choose to decorate both homes with the same style. After all, the beach house is conceived as a vacation destination, where you can enjoy the summer and the days off where you escape from routine and obligations.
Therefore, we feel much more like giving them a relaxed air, which evokes the essence of the summer season and with a marine aesthetic, in keeping with its location. In this regard, the best way to decorate a small beach house is to opt for minimalism, leaving the rooms as less saturated as possible. This way the space will not be overloaded and we prevent the excess of things from generating stress. The fewer unnecessary objects there are, the neater the space will look, infecting us with that feeling of calm.
Colors are another point to consider. If what you want is for them to combine with the maritime landscape, blue should be the leading tone in all its varieties. Likewise, other colors of nature such as earth or green tones will look great. You can give it a more original touch with more striking color points but, in general, the best thing is for the colors to be soft to bring more peace to the house. To give it the final touch, incorporate small elements into the decoration of your beach house that, without taking up too much space, will give a point of personality and originality to each room.
Any accessory that you use to go to the beach is likely to become a decorative element. For example, hang or support the surfboard, bodyboard or paddle surfboard on a wall. It will also be ideal to leave the beach carrycot in a corner of the living room or the entrance, thus contributing to that feeling of being on vacation and escaping to see the sea at any time. Even other items such as diving goggles, fins or children's toys such as buckets and rakes to play in the sand are now in very aesthetic designs so that they do not clash with the decoration.
Just as in autumn we put pumpkins and dry leaves, in winter we take out the thickest woolen blankets and in spring we fill the house with vases of flowers, why not flood the spaces with maritime elements in summer? They can be shells that you pick up on the shore or buy decorative elements with shapes such as starfish, corals, fish, anchors, floats...
Natural fabrics such as bamboo, wicker, jute, esparto grass or raffia are at their peak in the summer. You can introduce them in chairs or armchairs, pots, lamps, mirrors, rugs or storage baskets. On the other hand, textiles such as linen in curtains or bedding will look much better than heavier ones.
