Tips on Styling the Perfect Beachside Abode

One thing that we can all agree on is that the beach is an integral part of Australian life. There’s just something about the salty air, the blue water and the feel of sand beneath the toes, that instantly relaxes you. Nestled alongside the crystal clear waters of Yanchep Lagoon, Jindowie is the epitome of coastal living.

If you’re looking for some ways to bring the beach vibes into your new home, check out our styling tips to turn your home into a beachside oasis.

Colour

To bring the essence of the sea into your new home aim for minimalist colours with accents of navy, sky blue or earthy beige. To further enhance this beachy palette, start with a backdrop of soft greys, sandy yellows, bleached whites, pastel greens and dusty blues, all colours that reflect the Australian coastal landscape.

Decor

Create that relaxed coastal vibe with small, subtle nods that will have more impact and are instantly chicer than an abundance of shells or driftwood. Think washed back picture frames, coastal-inspired artworks or photographs, ceramics in ocean-inspired hues and tactile woven wall hangings.

Natural Materials

Why not make use of the abundance of rustic hardwoods we have in Australia? Whether they are weathered, raw, stained or painted white, natural textures are great for reflecting driftwood. Wicker and rattan furniture are also great additions for capturing the natural beauty of the ocean.

Treasures from the Sea

A great way to give your room the authentic beach feel is to use objects directly from nature. By utilising trinkets you have picked up from your beach holiday, you are also keeping the memory alive by displaying them around your home.
