A beach bedroom, especially if it has accented throw pillows, is a great choice for teenagers and younger people in general. It also helps to make use of interesting wall art as well. The bedroom wall itself is extremely neutral and sets the right décor in the room. The sea theme bed sheets adorn the bedroom, adding all the right colors you would ever need.

If nothing else works, you can always make use of small and accented throw pillows.

If you want to add a powerful punch of the summer vibes to your bedroom without losing the minimalistic edge, then why not add a few accented hats near the center of your bedroom. In this picture, the artist utilized very few colors but did a fantastic job of creating the beach themed décor they were rooting for. It always helps to hang up some hats for extra design points.

18. Light Accented Throw Pillows

 

It is typical for many beach themed bedrooms to feature elaborate designs and ornate murals all over their walls, but not in this case. In this room, the only thing defining a beach theme is the throw pillow with a caption that says, “BEACH”. This room is highly versatile in terms of design, making it possible to switch over to a completely different design if you feel like it.

Most beach themed bedrooms are full of blue colors, which his to be expected.

Adding more character to the room are ornate pillars on each corner of the bed.

20. Don’t Be Afraid To Go Overboard

 

If you really want to commit to bringing the beach into your room, then it’s time to go on a shopping spree and buy as many throw pillows and beach themed bed comforters you possibly can. Make sure to also buy miscellaneous accessories you would typically use in a beach, such as a surfer, straw hat, and rattan bench. This will go a long way in completing that beach look.

21. Yellow In The Bedroom

 

 

Most days on the beach are bright and sunny, and the resulting vibe is beautiful and colorful. One of the most common hues on the beach is yellow, so even if you’re not using an overpowered combination of blue and teal, it always helps to go with yellow. To further complete the beach theme, you can choose a beach themed frame as is depicted in this picture, where a surfer rides gentle waves behind him.

22. Beachy Bedroom

 

Using worn wooden panels as a visually stunning backdrop is the surefire way of making your room look as ‘beachy’ as possible. In this case, the artist chose to not go overboard with elaborate designs and obvious motifs, preferring instead to stick to a blue and grey color palette. Blue curtains towards the right do a good of letting just the right amount of natural light into the spaces.

23. Beach Side Resort

 

 

It is definitely not hard to recreate the same feeling you get in a beachside resort. In fact, you can pull off the same vibes during the winter too. Notice there is only one beach themed motif, and it’s not even blue! This goes to show that teal colors aren’t the only dominant palettes of the beach. The furniture’s worn finish adds an overall serene vibe in this bedroom.

24. Fish And Seashells

 

Fish seashells and coral are the most common motifs to choose in a beach inspired room. There’s no reason not to do the same here. To further accentuate the beach theme, you can go with more colorful motifs on the wall that adds tons of appeal to the bedroom. As the artist demonstrated here, an above-bed painting is both unusual and fun at the same time.

25. Coastal Themed Bedroom

 

 

This bedroom does a very good job of capturing all the elements that can be found in the beach, these include natural elements such as rattan, wood, seagrass, sea shells, and of course a teal color palette. The room itself is not overwhelmingly blue, which is good if you plan on switching to a different design. There are lots of eclectic throw pillows that add more charm to the beach layout.

26. Exaggerated Beach Theme

 

It is never a bad idea to go completely overboard with the beach layout, especially if you’ve got a large bedroom. This room incorporates all the natural elements you would expect to find in a beach but without making use of any elaborate motifs. The clever use of throw pillows creates one of the most homely feelings possible. Unfortunately, this room is not a simple DIY project and is fairly time-consuming.

27. Extreme Beach-Themed Bedroom

 

 

Flowery pastels, beach motifs, painted frame, teal lava lamp, and a limitless amount of decorative accessories make this room extremely cluttered. There is so much stuff in the way, that it could be a little difficult to snooze off. Safe to say, this room is not going to be easy to pull off, it requires both time and money. But we definitely recommend you to try.

28. Go Gentle With The Blue

 

This room demonstrates that you don’t really need fancy wallpapers or large real estate property to pull off a beach themed design. All you really need are a few frames carrying a beach motif to hang on your wall and call it a day. These days it is incredibly easy to create a beach cottage bedroom with a distressed wood finish, the key is to choose the right bedding to create perfect moods. There aren’t many throw pillows on the bed either, which is fine too.

29. Dream Under Starfish

 

 

Despite sharing very few elements with the beach, this bedroom manages to pull off those classic beach wives. The bedding is white with lots of throw pillows added in to nestle your hide inside. The nautical theme of the bed’s tall frame should add more comfort to your back. It’s the starfishes of varying size that ultimately add those beachy vibes to this room. A neutral colored background makes it easy to change the beach theme at will.

30. Navy Blue Room

 

The bedding is definitely the most visually striking element in this picture. It is surrounded by light blue walls and an above-bed mural that showcases lots of surfers in a row. Wall murals are a great way to show off your interest of the beach without breaking the bank, as shown in this picture. Even the throw pillows match the color theme of the bedding.

31. Sea Horses Under The Deep Blue Sea

 

 

Sea Horses are majestic creates of the deep blue sea. Their design value is often underestimated, but as can be seen in this picture, they do a fairly good job of bringing the beach into the bedroom. The motif on the bedding is fairly varied, incorporating most elements that are commonly found in the depths of the ocean. The wall adds serves as the perfect backdrop that enhances the visual appeal of the room.

32. Adding Textures From The Beach

 

The driftwood tables by the side and the creamy texture of the bedding make this room visually appealing. Even the cute wooden display with an off-white luster manages to add a more beach style to the room. From the green textures on the bed to the eclectic throw pillows, this room perfectly captures the serene and calm of a day spent near the beach.

The rattan box completes this room, although it needlessly takes up space in the room, cluttering it in the process.
