The beach inspires color for me. I am drawn to deep-hued pastels saturated with color. I love my new white louvre doors and my dark hardwood floors. Sitting on the beach, you see a display of colors . . . beach chairs and umbrellas against the natural colors of the sand, surf and sun.
When we renovated our beach house we kept the ocean blue and white theme in our family room and our bedroom, but decided to go for some bold coastal statements in the other rooms. Lowe's made it easy. They have a seaside retreat collection of paints in amazing colors. We chose an aqua marine tone for the open areas of our home and accented this with taupe furniture and rugs. All of the bedrooms were given make-overs and each room has its own great beach color on the walls. All of these truly coastal paint colors are highlighted now by the white louvre doors and the dark hardwood floors.
What I love about decorating at the beach is the "less is more" theme. Less clutter. The simplification of life. Cutting out distractions.
Our family room with our "faded blue sofa" still is home to a traditional blue and white coastal theme with pops of color. There really is nothing like calming blue to bring us oceanside.
