I am a bit of a cliche when it comes to decorating a beach house - I love decorating with anything nautical and beachy ...not very for original for a designer, I know, but I can never seem to get past seashells, books on coastal living and architecture, coral, buoys, anchors, replica boats, miniature lighthouses, oars, etc, etc. I always work with a base of whites or neutrals then accents in navy, any shade of blue and red. Occasionally I'll throw a splash of yellow or aqua into the mix. Anyway I think when you're holidaying or living near the beach it's always nice to have a coastal feel to the architecture and the decor. These are a just few decorating ideas to inspire you.

Hi Melissah - Cliche or not - they're beautiful and the epitome of beach, casual, elegant, lovely. I want to slip inside the photos and stay there!
Thanks for sharing!
PS-the seafood ideas look delish,too!

It's all about getting the "feel" and those items are perfect for the beach life.

You have inspired me to go white on the porch. Watch this space.
