Decorating Seaside Style
The great thing about Seaside Style is that it's easy to achieve the look without spending a fortune. There are several key elements to follow:
Keep walls pale and paint with either cool blues, greens or whites.
Furniture should be simple in design and reflect the natural materials used in boatbuilding - wood, calico, cotton and linen. Similarly pattern and colour should be used as an accent rather than a key feature. Introduce typical seaside style designs such as stripes and flag motifs by including pillows, throws and bed-linen to add a subtle dash of variety.
Finally, finish the look with a few carefully chosen accessories which will ideally look as if you've had them in the family for years. Display a handpainted model yacht and hang vintage photos on the the walls.

Oh, you're talking to the heart of me with this lens (and not just because you're showing me how to do it less expensively!). Thanks for your work with this! Posted August 15, 2007 |
