Long Island Beach Bungalow

Today I’m sharing this très chic beach house located on Long Island, NY.  It’s a 70’s bungalow located right on the water and I love how the owners used a navy and white color theme throughout!  Also did I mention the super cute Adirondack chairs??  Check it out:

Amalfi Coast Beach House Tour

This little beach house on the Amalfi Coast hits all the right spots in a big way!  The interior design of the beach house is kept light and open, punctuated with wicker vases and sea creatures.  Oh yeah, and did I mention the views?!!  Get ready to fall in love, as this beach house is chiseled into a cliff overlooking the sea.

How to Beach-Up Your Home

Today I’m going to walk you through step-by-step how to beach-up your home.  Even if you don’t live by the sea, it’s super easy to get that breezy beach vibe flowing through your house.  Chances are, if you’re anything like me, you already have a lot of the elements needed for a coastal design.  It’s just all about how you put the look together and finish everything off!

How to Beach-Up Your Home

Let’s start with fabrics. Using more natural fibers like linen and wicker around your home can make it feel more connected to nature i.e. the sea

How to Beach-Up Your Home

Incorporate sea shells as trinket dishes on coffee tables or in bookcases.

How to Beach-Up Your Home

Bring in the scent of the sea through coastal soaps, candles and essential oil diffusers.

Weathered wood fits perfectly into a beach home and it’s super easy to distress a piece you already have with some white wash and sand-paper.

The bedroom is another great place to add more natural fabrics, a linen throw and simple striped pillows add just the right touch.

If your beach home doesn’t have beach views, consider adding beach prints instead!

Soft blue hues on cabinets offer reminders of the sea

Now let’s take a look at the outside of your home. If you’ve got room for outdoor seating make sure you take advantage of it!

How to Beach-Up Your Home

A cozy spot in the shade, surrounded by plants and still maintaining that breezy-beach vibe through striped pillows and wicker seating.

Dutch doors and weathered stoops feel super coastal. If you rent or are afraid to saw your door in half, don’t worry! Just add a beachy doormat and some plants to beach-up your entrance.

Bohemian Beachside Home Tour

I love the eclectic bohemian feel of this mostly white beachside home!  With some small pops of black and beautiful unique pieces of artwork, this beachside home isn’t lacking a thing.  I’m pretty much obsessed with everything in this space.  Let me show you:

 

Bohemian Beachside Home Tour

Is it mostly white? Does it have straw/basket lighting? Is there a big beautiful plant on a rustic wood table? Check, check and check! ❤

Renovated Beach House

The owners of this renovated beach house, literally took  what once was a hodgepodge from the 70’s and 80’s and turned it into an airy light-filled beach house!  I love all the white (of course!) and the plantation style glass shutters, not to mention all the amazing views of the ocean.  Take the tour:

Summer Island Home Tour in Mexico

Get ready to swoon over this Summer island home in Mexico, located on the small island of Holbox or rather Isla Holbox!  I’m sure by now you’ve realized how much I love all things white, especially when it comes to interior design BUT did you also know that I’m a sucker for built in furniture?  Yup, true story!  Built in bookcases and little spots to simple put a vase or family heirloom send me into a heart-eyed stupor.  Not only does this beautiful island home have all of that but it’s available to rent out on Airbnb!!  And aren’t we all just sooo ready to plan that next vacation??  I know I am!
