Creating a beach-themed kids' room is a fun way to bring the seaside indoors! Here are a few updates to try a seaside style:
Colour Palette: Use shades of sea blues and greens, sandy beige, and white to subtly mimic the ocean and shore.
Wall Decor: Consider ocean-themed wallpaper, murals, or decals featuring sea creatures, waves, or sailboats. For a more subtle wall treatment for older children, choose tongue and groove or shiplap style wall panelling. Add a shelf for ‘washed up’ trinkets and accessories.
Furniture & Textures: Opt for driftwood-style furniture, rope accents, and woven baskets to add a coastal touch. Alternatively, beds and furniture with tongue and groove detailing can help add a coastal feel.
Bedding & Fabrics: Choose light linens with nautical stripes, seashell patterns, or even tropical prints. Open weave, textured blankets help to create a relaxed, beachy look and striped curtains give a classic deck chair style.
Lighting: Soft, warm lighting with rattan or wicker can help achieve a relaxed, coastal look, or a fisherman’s style lamp is a great addition to a boys’ bedroom for a subtle nod to sailing.
Accessories: Add seashells, starfish, and beach toys as decorative elements. Vintage oars make fabulous room décor too, especially when used as curtain poles.
Interactive Elements: For younger children, a reading nook with ocean-themed books can make the space more engaging.
Happy styling! x
