A beach house isn`t just real estate. It’s a state of mind.

Having a beach house or cottage is fabulous. You can enjoy the view, listen to the sound of waves. If you don’t have a beach house, bring summer inside! With details and beach decor, following summer house trends, you can make summer and beach vibes at home. 

What colors to use?

To bring a coastal look inside, the best way is to choose natural colors. Use the golden 60:30:10 rule for choosing colors in the room. Let the major color be 60 percent of the room and this color is usually for the walls, 30 percent goes to the secondary color and 10 percent is for the accent color.

Blue. We all know that blue is the color of the sea and sky, so this one is the perfect choice for the room. The blue color is relaxing for our eyes and mind, just like water has the same effect. Combine blue with white decor or pieces of furniture. Paint the focal wall in blue and put a white shelf there. It will be a nice contrast.

When it’s time to choose the flooring, choose the resistant one. You will bring water, sand, salt into the house, so choose the material that is resistant and easy to maintain.  Hardwood flooring is an excellent choice for a beach house. Another great solution is to buy tiles. They are durable and you can clean them easily. You can even choose wood look tiles for the living room.
