The Perfect Beach House: 16 Tips for a Laid Back Beach Style

If you're lucky enough to have a beach house, it's nice to decorate it in a laid back beachy style. We have 16 ways you can infuse some casual beach style into your beach house. Check it out…

1. Outdoor Shower

Rather than traipsing sand through the house, build beautiful outdoor shower that makes it a pleasure to wash off when you get back from a long day at the surf.

2. Beach Country Style

Combine the country style with a beach theme for a beautiful and warm beach hideaway.

3. Day Bed

You go to the beach to relax and there's nothing more relaxing that laying on a daybed and reading a good novel. Make sure you have a day be at your beach house for maximum laid-back appeal.

4. Hanging Day Bed

Multiply the goodness of a day bed by infinity by suspending it from ropes. It's like a permanent, more comfortable hammock.

5. Fresh White and Cooling Blue

It's a classic beach house colour scheme for a reason. Cooling and inspired by the ocean, fresh white and cooling blue never fail to please.

6. Rope Balustrade

Nothing says nautical like ropes, especially when they're tied in this way to create a beautiful balustrade.

7. Rode Handrail

Combine the rope balustrade with a rope handrail for maximum effect.

8. Fresh Outdoor Bathroom

If you're lucky enough to have a beach house, why not enjoy that sea breeze as often as possible by creating an outdoor bathroom like this beauty.

9. Swing Rope Shelf

A cute little swing rope shelf is perfect for displaying your star fish ornaments.

10. Surfboard as Decoration

You can't go wrong with a surfboard on display. Especially if it's a cool vintage surfboard (or replica) like this one.

11. Branches as Shading and Dividers

Create a cool but uber attractive lounge space by using branches like this as shading and room dividers.

12. Teal and Random Beach Finds

Teal is a classic beach house colour. Combine with all your favorite beach walk finds to create a fun bathroom.

13. Crab Sculptures

Cute crab sculptures add a bit of fun to this beach house.

14. Lots of Linen (and Coir)

You can't go wrong with linen and coir as part of your beach house decoration scheme.

15. A Conversation/Fire Pit

The perfect way to relax and enjoy a sunset over the beach is in your own conversation pit which doubles as a fire pit for the cooler evenings.

16. Nautical Maps

Everyone loves a nice looking map. Incorporate local nautical maps at your beach house to 'team with the theme'.
