4. To personalise your beach home nothing better than displaying pictures of your family, and there are many different ways to do this. To keep the beach style you can display your pictures in blue photo frames or go with natural wood photo frames if you prefer. You can separate your blue photo frames or wood ones in a larger square on the wall or place different sizes of photo frames in a more disorganised pattern on the wall. Complete the look with glass vases with colourful flowers, candle lanterns and sea shells.

5. When it comes to furniture, many interior designers prefer to use wicker pieces which insinuate an image of beach rest house. Ottomans are essential pieces to have. In addition to providing extra seating, when they match the colour of the other pieces, they can offer the feeling of vacation house.

6. Window treatments are a must in a beach style house. Soft curtains or gauzy are a good option to complement wide windows as they reflect the ocean breeze. Slat blinds make a good choice for small windows.

7. Do not forget the outdoor area of your home. Your patio, deck or porch should also match the interior décor. To bring the beach feeling to your outdoor space install rocking chairs.
