Lighting Reminiscient of the Beach

The lighting at the beach, a boardwalk, or the lakeside is made up of hurricane lamps, twinkling lights and boat or boardwalk inspired fixtures.  Here are some examples to bring the beach home through lighting:

Decorating Tip to Bring the Beach Home

If you want to bring the beach home, you can use wood accent pieces to create a natural, textured pattern in your room. This can be done with coffee tables, baskets or lamps.  The following are some examples.

Live at the Beach All Year Long

The following are some of our favorite beach decorating elements to remind us of one of our favorite locations.

1.  The use of natural beach items. 

Sand, starfish and seashells make a centerpiece extra special.

A picture frame with starfish and sandollars capture beach memories.

2.  Lighting

A simple hurricane candle holder as a centerpiece on a dining table or as an accent in a room.

Light fixtures reminiscent of a waterfront boardwalk, like this Wire Cage Pendant light.


3.  Letting the outdoors come in.

Operable shutters to open the space to outside.

A rug with tropical plant leaves

4.  The color white.

Fresh, clean, comfortable.

White furniture with accents that provide pops of color in a room.


5.  The use of rattan, wicker and other woods.

A rattan bed completed with beach inspired sheets.

A simple lamp with minimal decoration.

Baskets for storage on a shelf or under a coffee table.

You can add a few of these elements to your room or incorporate all of them to have the feeling of living at the beach all year long.
