21 Beach House Colors Trends 2018

Beach front property is expensive or you may live in Montana far away from the water. A stable job might prevent a commute from a beach house. Instead use beach house colors to turn the house you want into the beach house front property of your dreams.

White is a common color used in beach house design. Make every room in your home into a casual sunroom feel. This works well if you have paneled walls because when you paint them white or cream it will have more of the appearance of worn siding and will be an architectural asset instead of a 1970’s throw back. You may need to paint the walls a bright white so the color looks intentional instead of like builder’s beige.

A luxury beach house still has a casual air to it with durable materials. You need to be able to walk right in from the ocean no matter how much money you have. This style is great for kids and dogs because it can withstand abuse. Look for weathered wood that resembles docks. This wood can be placed on the floor or the ceiling. Look for a coffee table where you can put up your feet. Wood tones should be gray, white, pickled wood, or the color of sand. The wood tones shouldn’t stand out in the room. Add in natural elements with wood blinds. For more of a Caribbean beach feel try sheer white curtains that are one of the most paint treatments out there.

The most dominate beach color is probably sand which creates a neutral room that all genders can enjoy. Spend more money on a decorative ceiling fan that simulates palm fronds or has a vintage style to become the accent piece in the room.

An ocean color can inspire the room and doesn’t mean that you have to use bright blue although you can. Fabrics should be solid or striped to keep the room from being too fussy. You can either use blue furniture with wood accents that you can probably find on sale or go with a cream or sand color. Keep the fabrics easy to clean like a cotton or canvas for a California casual look. A wicker rocker can be spruced up with white or sand paint. Look closely at the ocean. When we are kids we are taught that the ocean is blue. Maybe back in the day it was. Now it contains gray, brown and green tones that can be used for a moody room.

Beach room decor doesn’t have to look like your grandma’s Florida condo. Focus on the view. Draw attention to the windows by gathering a white curtain panel between each window so it looks like one large picture window instead of several smaller ones. If you don’t have beach views fake one with a triptych painting. This style uses the same scene across three canvases. Keep it a modern interpretation of the beach with a loose flow of white, turquoise and teal.
