How does a week at the beach house or at the lake house sound to you? I wouldn’t need anything this fancy to get my fix, but it is beautiful.

A beach house should be bright, open, and airy. To better integrate it into the beach setting, opt for natural materials like sisal and jute. White and blue is a fresh clean palette the makes a not to the ocean.

Even in the bedroom we find natural elements in the form of a sisal rug. The decorative pillows remind me of the colors of shells.

Daybeds are a great idea for beach house decorating. I love the freedom to nap or read whenever I want on vacation.

This kitchen is amazing. I like that the island is a different color than the cabinets, it really warms up the space. The pale blue subway tile backsplash is amazing too!
