Bring the sights and sounds of the beach to your home.You can bring the suggestion of a beach into your home, even though you can't put an entire beach in your house.
Step 1: The right room is chosen.
If you can, choose a place that already has a connection to the outdoors, such as a large patio door.A sun room is a great spot for an indoor beach.
Step 2: Decide how far you want to travel.
Do you want a traditional living room with beach decorations and colors, or do you prefer the whole thing to evoke a beach?Don't forget to keep your budget in mind.Setting up a fountain with patio chairs you already own is not the same thing as installing a sun room.Think about what the beach means to you.Do you like the natural tones of sand and surf or do you prefer bright, tropical colors on the beach?
Step 3: For ideas, look at real beaches, photos of beaches and pictures of seashore rooms and homes.
What elements do you want to recreate?
Step 4: The light can be let in.
All you can do is use skylights and windows.Many people like beaches because of their light and spaciousness.The room should be light at night.Candles and other low mood lighting will fit in this theme.Light the areas if you use the room for reading or other activities at night.
Step 5: You can take advantage of outdoor furnishings.
There is no need to go with the molded plastic type of furniture because there are so many different types to choose from.It is more durable than conventional living room furniture.Go for casual pieces that fit your theme.Don't forget that this is a living room.Even if your seats are not waterproof, you should have some sort of cushion on them.This is a great place for a couple of wooden deck chairs or Adirondack chairs since the wood doesn't have to stand up to the weather.
Step 6: Pick the right plants.
Tropical and tropical-looking plants thrive indoors and in indirect light.Try a large plant as an anchor and build out from there.
Step 7: Natural materials can be used.
Try a bamboo lattice or mat, textiles in an island pattern, and an interesting piece of driftwood as a natural sculpture.Natural looking materials can be used.
Step 8: The element of water should be included.
Water has a sound and texture.It's up to you and your space, but consider an aquarium, a fountain, water feature, or even a small indoor pond.
Step 9: You can plant the space outside of the room.
As your climate allows, make the view through the windows and patio door tropical and beach-like.Choose colors and styles for the hard surfaces outdoors.It's a good idea to cover a patio or wall with tile in warm colors or a tropical theme.You can put your pond, water feature, or sandbox outdoors.
Step 10: Do you want to introduce sand?
Unless you have a separate room with a concrete floor, real sand is not a good idea.You can abrade your other floors if it gets tracked around.If you like sand, you can suggest it.You can make your own Zen garden in any size you want.A sand pendulum is a tray of sand with a long, heavy pendulum hanging just into the surface so that it draws patterns as it swings.You could put colored sand and seashells in a jar.
Step 11: An aged, weathered appearance is what you should use.
Some of the plants could be contained in a pail.It wouldn't matter if the wood was weathered or not.If you can't find something that's already worn, this is a great place to try distressing paint or fabric.
Step 12: Take into account the fireplace part of the décor.
Fireplaces are often found in living rooms.It's well suited to a beach theme because they provide warmth and light on cool nights.
Step 13: The room should be brought together.
Are you looking for an open, airy feel or a cozy beach hut?How will traffic move through the room?Do it consistently, or at least coherently, throughout the room, whatever you do to make it more beach-like.
