I love the latest looks from beach decor. Beach cottage is a beautiful blend of farmhouse using aqua, white, and sand colors while keeping trinkets and accessories to a minimum for a clean look.

Farmhouse decor blends so perfectly with beach decor that your room will be immediately transformed into your very own relaxing beach cottage. If you are looking to add even more charm try your hand at one of these farmhouse DIYs.

DIY furniture can add a unique charm to your home because no two pieces are exactly the same. Each piece will have it’s own unique features, stains, or paints. That uniqueness is a fantastic quality to add into your beach cottage room.

10 Tips To Achieving Beach Cottage Decor

To get a simple beach cottage look in your home it’s all about using the right types of accents and displaying them so they stand out in the room. Below are my personal 10 tips to getting the look of beach cottage decor down.

  1. Use sea glass to add small touches of color to your room.
  2. Use rope balls to add a more coastal vibe.
  3. Don’t go overboard on small knick knacks, statement pieces work better.
  4. Add a few gold tones for some richness.
  5. Add a shiplap accent wall.
  6. Use weathered wood to add some farmhouse charm.
  7. Use shiplap to cover an old textured ceiling.
  8. Add wicker furniture as accent pieces.
  9. Keep larger pieces of furniture white or a light neutral tone.
  10. Add brightness to dark wood floors with a light sand colored rug.

The examples below utilize most in not all of these tips.

Final Thoughts

Beach cottage decor is pretty easy to pull off, especially if you want your home to feel like a dream beach getaway.

If you need more functionality in your home remember to use old refinished trunks, wicker baskets, and creative shelving options. These can hide away kids toys and books, your tv remotes, and other regularly used items while still giving you that beach cottage feel.

I hope you loved looking through all these amazing casual coastal decor living spaces as much as I did. Follow me on Pinterest and pin this to your favorite Home Decor boards.

    1. So sorry this happened to you. I had a glitch with the site. It should be fixed now so you can see all the pictures now. If in the future you ever have this issue try reloading the page. Sometimes the behind the scenes stuff just doesn’t work right.

  1. I Love Everything you did with this house!! Could you please tell me the name of the paint used on the kitchen cabinets!! Thank you!

  2. I WANT this house. So gorgeous. So many wonderful ideas. But any ideas I can do with a large beautiful dark green Ethan Allen china cabinet in my living room. Do you think I should paint it a white or possibly same color as the very light tan walls or repaint walls and cabinet a very light turquoise?

    1. If you absolutely want to paint it make sure you sand and prime it first. Then I would stick with white. Depending on the space you can make the wall behind it an accent wall that’s painted a really pretty turquoise and paint the other walls a very light sand color. This will make the room seem longer or wider depending on the location of the wall. It will also make the white cabinet stand out and become a focal point of the room. Painting the cabinet white also means it’s likely to continue to work well even if you change us your decor again in a few years.

  3. We have a small house here in Greenville, SC that we’ve been dying to decorate as a beach house to get it some hits on AirBNB. We just did a cabinet refacing to shake up the look of the kitchen and now we can’t wait to get to work following your tips to get the right decor. Thanks for sharing.

  4. We’re looking to transform the look of one of our condos into more of a beach cottage vibe, so I’m glad I found your article. Seriously can’t wait to get started with the decoration!
