Soft, Sun and Wave Washed Colors
Alternatively, a tropical and happy environment is also one that is native to the beach house in hot climes. Those are sharp and sassy, but always light and bright.
Beach homes are not just beside oceans, lakes have beaches too! But sunny, comfortable color schemes are characteristic of them all. and that is what we love about beach house colors.
Are you interested in bringing the beach into your interiors in all seasons? Consider this lens something of an "idea board".

A Turquoise Sea
Neutrals
Blues
The colors of bright white, deep navy accents, along with plenty of neutral sand and seagrass textures are a classic combination of beach colors. They evoke a strongly nautical feel, as well.
Whites
This is the feeling of a beach cottage: lots of white in its many variations. Sailcloth white, bright picket fence whitewash, creamy white, seafoam white, shell white... all layered on one another. Alone or with one beautiful accent color. Matched with neutrals of sand, driftwood gray, or sisal, and it becomes the most relaxing backdrop imaginable.
Pastels
A vacation in the Caribbean will bring out your love for sunny pastels - warm, sweet, and so easy to mix and match.

Light House Poster
Nautical and Lighthouse themes are pure Americana, and they are crisp as an ocean breeze. Navy Blue and soft white sand colors are often accented with red in these motifs. Reminders of summertime fun and relaxation.
I recently bought a glass base lamp that will hold seashells foraged from our trips to the ocean over the years. It had been on the wish list for so many years! There are other ways to keepsake pretty shells, but this is one that will mesh well with a room without lots of dusting or getting in the way. Glue some to candles, mix a few into the potpourri bowl.... use them in crafts; seashells can be attractively integrated into the interiors of your house.
The Shore and Its Art
People never tire of painting seaside pictures, and I love to look at them. The right picture can make a complete difference in the atmosphere of the room.
