Color: Like we stated before the beach is calming,
serene, peaceful and breezy. Using
creams, beiges, light greens and blues help to achieve a calm, cool feeling to your
beach home. Based on the psychology of
color, blues and greens cause the body to produce chemicals that cause a
calming sensation. Many of your windows may have incredible water views, so
having the right colors and style of window treatments will preserve the view,
while enhancing the warmth and feel of the space.
·
Texture: The sand, the shells and the boardwalk all
have a specific feeling and texture to them.
Touch is an important sense to focus on when decorating your home. You want to engage your visitors with
touchable fabrics and finishes, especially with your custom window treatments. Textured furniture and accessories add visual
interest to a space. Adding wide planked
wood floors bring the boardwalk into the home in a tasteful approach.
·
Light: Once
again windows become the hero of the story, so taking in the beautiful view of
the ocean and letting in light can be your motivation. However, sometimes the afternoon sun can be a
bit too much. Adding the right custom window
treatments will help to add some privacy and keep the sun at bay during the
hottest time of the day, while allowing the light to brighten your space when
you want. Roll up shades of rattan or
wicker adds texture to a room, but also provides a sufficient amount of shade
to cool your home down at high noon.
Floor to ceiling grommet drapes on rods also provide shade, but can give
a light airy feeling to a room when opened.
Custom cornices in a bold print will draw attention to your windows, while
maintaining the open view.
· Natural elements: Soothing colors and wood-grain ceramic and
porcelain tiles can make any bathroom feel warm and cozy. Finishes in champagne bronze and oil-rubbed
bronze bring richness to your bath.
Along with stone countertops and weathered wood vanities in grey tones
like driftwood can make your home feel like a seashore getaway, no matter where
it’s located. Consider custom wood
blinds to accent the textures of the counters or floors with motorized options
to make opening and closing easy!

Don’t
forget to finish it off: All
natural décor make the perfect finishing touches to your new oasis of
relaxation. Check out the readily
available cotton linens for furniture and accent pillows and try some beeswax
candles to set the mood. Glass
countertops and bamboo accessories are perfect for creating a luxurious
atmosphere.
