Coastal bedrooms are the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of work or play. They’re also great for couples who want to create their own little private getaway.
A shelf of shells makes a great display piece, especially during the warmer months to remind you of happy times during the summer.
They are beautiful pieces of art that make a statement in any room. They come in many different colors, shapes, sizes.
If you don’t want to collect them directly from the beach then you can find them online at stores like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and others.
2. Add Blue Nets
Blue nets remind you of little fishing boats and putting some hanging above the bed adds some color and style to the bedroom. They look great against the white walls and dark wood furniture.
The following is a very simple DIY project that you can easily do yourself. All you’ll need is a piece of rope, a hook, and some glue.
Start by tying one end of the rope around the middle of the net. Then tie another knot about 2 feet away from the original knot. Repeat this process multiple times.
Once you’ve tied enough knots, cut the excess rope off and use the remaining pieces to hang the net up. Use the leftover rope to make a decorative wall art.
Hang the net over the bed frame and enjoy the beauty of the ocean every night.
3. Blue Anchor
Anchors are without question one of the most iconic symbols that represent the coastal theme.
They are used to mark out the shoreline and define the boundary of where the ocean begins and ends. A piece of art or ornament makes a great addition to the bedroom.
4. Shell Candles
A seashell candle is perfect for holding candles and creating a warm nautical ambience.
It looks great sitting on a mantle or shelf in the bedroom and best of all, they are easy to make. All you’ll need is a seashell and some string.
Step One: Take the shell apart. Start by cutting off the top half of the shell. Then cut along the inside edge of the bottom half. Once you’re done, you’ll end up with 2 halves of a shell that look similar to this.
Step Two: Next, take your string and tie it around the middle of the two halves. Make sure there’s enough length to wrap around both shells.
Step Three: Now just slide the shells together and you’ve got yourself a shell candle holder! You could even add a little something extra. For example, you could put a small piece of driftwood inside the shell. Or maybe a small dried flower. Whatever floats your boat (excuse the pun).
5. Paint Driftwood
The beauty of driftwoods lies in their simplicity. They are easily found in nature, and they come in a variety of colors and sizes.
They’re perfect for adding character to your bedroom space and creating a beach like environment. If you want to add some natural elements into your decor, try painting driftwoods onto plain white walls.
You’ll end up with a unique piece of artwork that won’t cost much money to produce.
You can find driftwood at craft stores like Michael’s Arts & Crafts, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and WalMart.
6. Stair Rail
Cleating up staircases can often prove challenging but it doesn’t have to be that complicated. They are ideal if you have some steps in your bedroom.
With some creativity, you can make simple steps much easier to climb. Boat cleats are one example of how you can do just that. They’re essentially wood planks cut into shapes that look like boats’ hulls.
There are many DIY projects out there that use cleats to help make a staircase a beautiful and interesting part of the room.

If you want to add height to your ceiling, look for palm trees that stand taller than 5 feet tall. These plants usually cost less than those that are shorter.
12. Sisal Rug
Sisal is a plant that grows naturally in tropical climates like Mexico. This hardy plant is used to make ropes, twine, cloth, paper, and even rope mats. But it’s most commonly known for making beautiful rugs.
These rugs are extremely durable because they’re woven from long fibers called phormium rather than shorter ones like cotton.
They’re also very strong, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally pulling one apart. And unlike synthetic fibers, they won’t fade over time.
13. Beachscape Painting

Use black or white rope to make a simple sculpture or paint it to create a colorful work of art.

Hi, my name is Maisie Park and I have recently moved into the home I renovated with my husband. It took an entire year to get it just the way we wanted it, and I learned a thing or two along the way!
We started this project together with no prior experience in renovating houses or home improvements – I think the best I had was that I knew how to change a lightbulb.
Flash forward a year and here I am, creating a website to guide others through these challenges.
Please use my website as a source of inspiration for your own home – does your porch need a fresh lick of paint, by any chance? We all deserve to live in the house of our dreams, so what’s stopping you? Let’s get started!
