A beach home and beach decor don’t always have to go together. I’m from the Midwest where the ocean is over a thousand miles away, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy beach décor. You can too whether you have a quaint cottage by the seashore or live in a big city like Chicago. Below you’ll find tips on how to decorate you’re home to reflect the serenity of the beach and also the best places to find beach décor and beach home accessories.

I really like these candle holders. They would look great on an end table or a dining room table. This set reminds me how important shells are to that authentic beach look. You can display your collections in large glass vases to display around the house or just use a big basket.

This beach wall pocket would look nice in a pair one above the other in a bedroom. You can purchase the tall grass from a craft store.

Wall murals are fantastic for covering a wall that’s less than perfect or if your city view is irritating, install this beach mural and feel your mood change!

I love this nautical wall clock! What a great piece for over a mantel. Nautical decorating is really becoming popular! This gets me to thinking about mantels and fireplaces. If outdated brick or stone is keeping you from the beach look you’ve always dreamed of, paint it!

In my search for the best beach home and beach décor I found a lot of chintzy accessories. The best advice I can give is to stay away from the “theme” look. For instance, don’t buy shell rugs, shell toilet paper holder, shell towels, shell towel bars, shell, light switch holders. You get the idea right? You want the authentic beach look think about what the beach looks like. What colors does it have? Blues, greens, pinks, grays? Aquire a few exceptional pieces that will be the focal points of the room, such as a mirror with a frame of real shells or an unusual piece of driftwood. Think of items that the natives of a tropical island would have acquired as treasures.

I love prints like these. You can have it framed locally to lessen the cost of shipping. These paintings make me feel if even for a second that I’m breathing the salty air and digging my feet in the sand!

Wicker is an absolute must for a beach home and beach décor. You may not choose every piece to be wicker, but a night stand here and a chair there will add just the right touch. Below are a couple of my top choices.
