Life's a Beach – Fabulous Finds for Coastal Themes
It wasn't until I started researching for this post that I realised the phrase ' life's a beach' had 2 completely different meanings! I thought it a great title for the post as coastal finds and themes for rooms are so much fun as well as taking us back to nature, the beauty of the sea, shore and marine animals – then it was pointed out that the other meaning wasn't so nice....lest I offend anyone my intention is to bring you the best of the beach themes and ideas, along with fabulous finds (colours, textures, shells, boats etc.) for coastal themes to inspire you to adopt this on-trend theme in your home.
Bright, breezy and full of furnishings inspire by the coast is a great way to bring new colour and style to your living room. Classical blue and white are the basis for the theme, after which you can add as many soft furnishings and coastal themed accessories to bring the room together.

Surfer girl bedroom is a fabulous theme for a tween or teen. Oceanic blues and greens pave the way for a trendy room with the opportunity to add your own personal touches.

Classical white with fine blue pinstripes epitomises a coastal theme. This look is mature and sophisticated but also allows for touches of whimsy and light-heartedness via soft furnishings. With a nod towards masculinity it's easy to give a living room a mature look for men. With a creamy white background wooden elements of oars, driftwood and other natural materials offer a chic style which sits comfortably within the coastal genre.
