Instant Beach Style Dining Room

With the North State heat approaching, it’s easy to dream about and be inspired by coastal living. Whether it’s the sound of the surf, the smell of the salty air, there are an endless variety of color and textural beach inspirations. Here are a few design secrets that can revive your dining room and help you to create your own everyday retreat.

-Paint- Small changes can make the biggest difference without costing a fortune. Try painting an accent wall or the back of your built-in cabinets. Here, the look comes from mixing tranquil tones of turquoise moderated by calming creams, golds and dark browns.

-Furniture-To achieve that relaxed beach lifestyle, try using benches instead of chairs. Not only are benches a fun non-traditional alternative but they are a great way to save on space and provide more seating.

-Accessories-Be playful when creating that eclectic look. Don’t’ be afraid to lean or stack plates and cups, the more mix-matched the better. Just keep collections grouped together and you can’t fail. Also, try decorating with a few leaf branches or palms instead of flowers. It helps to bring a look that’s both simple and sophisticated without going overboard with the beach theme.

With any design project remember that the key to a successful look is simplicity….less is always more.
