Seaside Design

Seaside design pays heavy tribute to something that we all love, palm trees, soft sand, and deep blue seas. The ocean, with its stirring beauty, unique and gorgeous variety of colors and sea life, helps make Seaside themes some of the most sought after out of the entire array, even if your home is not necessarily located on that sweet piece of beach front property.

Life on the ocean, even if only for a few days at a time, puts us in a tranquil state of mind, with stress literally melting away with each outgoing tide.

As pictured above, the beachside palette consists of a distinct range, with shades of green, brown, blue, gray and white, representing palm trees, the ocean and sand, and make up the universal undercurrents in beach coastal decor worldwide.

Seaside decor is somewhat more difficult to isolate and confine into text as compared to their counterparts on this site, where those themes can be tied back to specific origins and traditions from around the world. As the name implies, “seaside” is a broad term that spans the planet, making the number of architectural and design styles almost infinite.

Seaside Themes ...

With that said, the Seaside design beach decor themes on this site focus on coastal U.S. living, as well as the more exotic tropical locations found around Polynesia and the Caribbean islands.

Whether you live right on the coast, or a thousand miles inland, bringing a seaside theme into your home is a fun and inexpensive way for you to have the sense that the ocean is always just a few feet away.

The term "coastal" has many connotations in the U.S., with variations from New England, to Florida, to the west coast. Architecture, motif, and overall style can swing widely from region to region.

The tropics, whether around the islands of Hawaii, or closer to the continental U.S. in the Caribbean, have a primitive, exotic and tribal sense to them.

With similarities and intertwining characteristics from the safari and Asian themes, the tropical decorating style typically blends complex woven patterns against earthy textures and color tones. Looking no farther than the beach for inspiration, with its abundant supply of treasures, is a great place to begin your tropical design theme.
