Take a break from the cold and think about sinking your toes into warm sand, relaxing to the sound of waves and feeling the fresh salty air. Ahhhh…..are you there? Now envision this as you discover how to get a chic beach look in your home. The rooms pictured here embody beach style and will inspire your own look.

Soothing colors, natural wood surfaces and comfortable furnishings all contribute to the casual beach vibe. White walls and ceilings serve the perfect backdrop for fresh and chic beach style.

Accents of aqua blue hint of warm tropical waters and shades of true blue echo the ocean and the sky.


Pops of sunshine yellow in this beach home bring a burst of color, melding with white slipcovers and natural wood finishes.

Beautiful natural wood beams complement the light wood paneling and wicker furnishings in this beach home.

A neutral palette and coffered ceiling give this dining area a classic look. Combine that with weathered woods, coral prints on the walls and beach finds for a look that is fresh and welcoming.

White walls, cabinets, sheer panels and off-white slipcovers give this beach home a fresh and airy vibe. Imagine summer breezes blowing through the curtains as family and friends gather for a weekend stay.

White cotton slipcovers, a blue and gray striped rug and a stone fireplace play supporting roles to the breathtaking ocean views. No ocean view? Hang seascape artwork in your home.


Warm woods and natural accents blend well with neutral furnishings, offering a fresh look. Subtle pops of green, blue and brown infuse a touch of beach.

Grasscloth wallpaper and sisal rugs enhance the beach style home.

A relaxed and casual atmosphere is the epitome of beach style. To achieve this, use white slipcovers. Accent sofas and chairs with pillows and throws. Display a large shell or a collection of shells on the coffee table. Anchor the seating area with a sisal rug.

Perk up a painted or lightly stained hardwood floor with a colorful rug.


Add touches of coral or orange to pick up a beach-inspired palette and to infuse your own personality to the overall look.

Fresh greens, browns and blues give a room a beach chic style that stands out against white walls and trim. Use artwork, decorative accessories, pillows and window treatments in these colors.



Beach chic style is classic and timeless. Even if you don’t live on the beach, this style can be achieved in any home. Fresh colors, white slipcovers, natural wood finishes, and well-chosen accessories can give you the beach chic room that takes you back to the real thing time and again….from the comfort of your own home.
