Make your dream beach house using these summer home trends 

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.

Sand. Sand comes with the sea, so this tone will be also perfect for the house. Sand tone or beige color will make the room warm. The range of sand tones differs from pale cream to caramel.

Green. Another relaxing and natural color that can be excellent for the home. Besides the blue, green color is also very popular among beach houses. You can combine green and sand tones in the room and get the ideal combination. 

Other colors that can match the beach look are light or dark gray, lavender, yellow, or peachy color. White color is perfect choice for the walls outside. They are resistant to the Sun. Popular islands and homes in Greece are made of white stone, and that is one of the reasons. To save the home from heat.

Choose furniture

One thing we need to mention before buying furniture for the beach house is that you need to think about climate changes. Some climate changes affect indoor furniture too. Choose furniture that is resistant and durable. The best material for furniture is rattan, hardwood, or natural materials from the surroundings. Great hardwood choices are maple, oak, teak. etc.

Colored, white wood looks very nice in the room. You can find beautiful ideas here. 

Let’s fix the floor

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. 

Beach vibe decor

With decoration, you can bring the beach vibe completely into the house. Choose natural materials for pillows and blankets, in natural colors. Turquoise pillows in combination with white furniture look beautiful. Don´t put a lot of decoration inside, be minimalistic. Shells are a must-have in the beach house. There are various decorations made of shells. You can use them in the bedroom, too. Jewelry boxes made of shells are so cute. 

Make the house perfect for your taste, to feel relaxed, like you are on a vacation.
