2) Add bright beach type colors through fabrics!
If you don’t want to replace it all, how about the shams and headboard only? For this Winston Salem, NC client, we replaced her dark brown headboard with a beautiful turquoise fabric, and made bright cheerful shams to go with the ready made comforter.

3) Replace dark bedroom furniture with a light gray or distressed wood!
It’s wise not to go overboard on this, (avoid a complete matching set). If you steer away from a “matching bedroom set” and only use a couple of light wood pieces you can achieve a fun unique look. Notice how the bright color lamp, cheerful art, and a live plant to add greenery really make an impact!

4) Bring the outdoors in!
Nothing makes you feel like you’re vacationing outdoors as much as live greenery and trees.
Any room looks better with a live plant, just like any room looks better with a puppy or a kitty cat!
If you want your home to have that cheerful “staying at the beach” feeling without going overboard and having to much of a beach theme. Don’t forget to mix and match, after all, every piece doesn’t have to be a beach theme. Notice in the photo above, there’s a mix of blues, greens, yellows, leather, wood, and metal. It’s the combination of materials that make you appreciate the color tones!
