Have you ever seen the advertisements for the tropical or coastal resorts? \u00a0Each room has the perfect coastal bedroom decor ideas combined with luxurious comforts to make you feel right at home…or even better than home! \u00a0Creating a coastal feel in your bedroom can help you turn an ordinary bedroom into a space that feels like your own coastal retreat. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The best difference, though, is that you’re already at home. \u00a0It’s not a vacation where you have to leave! \u00a0Does that sound good to you? \u00a0I am working on some coastal bedroom decor ideas to create a cozy and luxurious retreat right at home. \u00a0So, I’m inviting you to come along!<\/em><\/p>\n There is still so much more I want to do, but I’ll share all of the coastal bedroom decor ideas I have and you can see where I am in the process. \u00a0Fair warning: it’s a slow process and I’m trying to mostly work with what I already have. \u00a0However, it’s coming along and I am already enjoying this cozy space at the end of the day, especially now that we are into the relaxing, somewhat “care-free” days of summer! \u00a0<\/p>\n Well, as care-free as a mom can ever get, right?! \u00a0Haha!<\/em><\/p>\n Let’s chat about 7 main elements of the coastal bedroom decor ideas that you will want to consider as you use coastal decorating ideas to turn your space into a beautiful coastal bedroom!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”How do I make my bedroom look coastal?” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are 7 main elements that you need to create a coastal master bedroom. \u00a0We will break these down with examples of each element and tips for mixing the coastal bedroom decor ideas into your own space too!<\/p>\n The coastal look is so fun for a bedroom space because within each of these 7 coastal bedroom decor ideas, there are seemingly limitless options to create your coastal retreat! \u00a0In that case, how do you decide what you should do first in your new coastal themed bedroom?<\/p>\n We are going to chat about that too!<\/em><\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n

is the modern coastal design style?” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First, though, it can be helpful to at least somewhat define the style we are going for. \u00a0I almost never have a room that just completely fits one certain design style. \u00a0However, figuring out what you love and giving yourself some perimeters can be helpful as you get started with your coastal bedroom ideas!<\/p>\n Essentially, the modern coastal design style emphasizes a light color palette with soft shades of sea-inspired colors. \u00a0At the same time, the modern coastal style combines soft furnishings made from linen and cotton with textural furniture and decor, such as\u00a0natural sisal rugs, sea glass, jute, slipcovers, and simple prints and patterns.<\/strong><\/p>\n The modern coastal style is simple with clean lines and emphasizes cozy bedroom designs with an airy feel.<\/strong>\u00a0 Often a neutral color palette sets the stage for a calm and relaxing environment in the beautiful bedroom.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Coastal Bedroom Decor: Bedroom Color Scheme” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The ultimate goal of a coastal retreat is to have a space where you feel like you can completely relax. \u00a0At the end of the day, you want to come home to a peaceful space. \u00a0Your coastal bedroom decor can create the perfect place to unwind and rest.<\/p>\n Doesn’t that sound so nice?!<\/em><\/p>\n Okay, back to coastal bedroom decor ideas!<\/strong> \u00a0One of the first things to consider is a bedroom color scheme. \u00a0Most often, coastal-style bedrooms stray away from bright colors. \u00a0Instead, they feature colors that remind us of the sea! \u00a0Blue colors of the ocean, white sand, and soft shades of neutral tones of natural elements combine for a refreshing color palette and coastal vibe.<\/strong><\/p>\n Using soft shades of paint colors, bedding, and decorative accents are a great way to create a coastal themed bedroom. \u00a0While blue bedrooms are very common for coastal design, you can also incorporate soft earth tones, going to the warmer side of the color wheel. \u00a0At the same time, mixing a soft blue with a mostly white palette and touches of warm earth-tones can create a very warm and inviting space!<\/p>\n To make my coastal bedroom decor refresh budget-friendly, I opted to mix and match bedding and decor that I already have. \u00a0The light earth-tones mixed with cream and white remind me of the colors of the sea shells we most commonly see here on our South Florida beaches, making this soft color palette of neutral colors a subtle nod to the coastal feel.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Summer-bedroom-bedding-close-up-scaled.webp” title_text=”Summer bedroom bedding close up” admin_label=”IMG summer bedroom bedding close up” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Coastal Bedroom Decor: Bedding” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Choosing the right bedding is absolutely essential for any decor style. \u00a0Whether you have a spacious spaces or small bedrooms to work with, the bedding is the focal point and sets the tone for the entire style. \u00a0One way I am able to refresh my master bedroom for the seasons is by investing in white bedding and other bedding with neutral colors and patterns. \u00a0This allows me to mix and match pieces to create a unique look while still feeling like a “new” space!<\/p>\n Pro Design Tip: \u00a0Invest in a high-quality set of neutral colored bed linens and white bedding (quilt, duvet, or comforter). \u00a0These become pieces that can be layered with any other bedding and used for any season.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, you can swap around decorative pillows in euro or standard sham sizes, throw blankets, throw pillows, and even different colored and patterned quilts.<\/p>\n Pro Design Tip: \u00a0One of my favorite tips to save money on a bedroom refresh is to buy a quilt or coverlet to lay at the foot of the bed. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Even though I have a king-sized bed in my own room, I sometimes purchase a queen-sized quilt or coverlet to lay at the foot of the bed!<\/p>\n It is usually a little less expensive than a king-size and takes less space to store, especially if it is something that I’m not leaving out all year.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

_builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image

Furniture Ideas” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In general, furniture for coastal bedroom decor will be somewhat “mix and match” to create a curated look. \u00a0Also, painted pieces are common. \u00a0If you have a lot of bedroom furniture with dark wood tones, this is a great time to pull out the paint brush and use some light paint colors, such as white or a pale blue. \u00a0Thirdly, rattan and cane furniture<\/strong><\/a> are great accents and give a subtle nod to the coastal cottage look.<\/p>\n If possible, even in small bedrooms, work toward a furniture layout that is extremely functional and meets all of your practical needs. \u00a0At the same time, it allows for an open, airy feeling.<\/p>\n My bedroom is very small and the bedroom layout is honestly pretty tight. \u00a0However, using mostly white painted furniture and lots of light colors and accents helps it feel a lot more open than it actually is!<\/p>\n Soft furnishings are another really important way that you can add a coastal vibe to your personal spaces. \u00a0For example, a comfy ottoman to put your feet up in a cozy corner chair<\/strong><\/a> is a great opportunity for a pretty stripe fabric pattern or fun jute texture (like my jute ottomans<\/strong><\/a> that we use in the family room!).<\/p>\n A cushioned bench at the foot of the bed<\/strong><\/a> or even an upholstered head board<\/strong><\/a> are places where soft furnishings not only make sense, but look so beautiful and luxurious too!<\/p>\n While we are talking about finishes, make sure that your coastal spaces have some touches of light wood tones. \u00a0It can be anything from a lamp<\/strong><\/a> to a chair to a headboard or bookshelf. \u00a0Even small decorative items<\/strong><\/a> can give that light wood tones that are important in a coastal home.<\/p>\n Light wood is commonly found in the picturesque coastal cottages, so, if you’re looking for that coastal feel, incorporate a touch of lighter wood tones into your space too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Summer-bedroom-side-angle-1–scaled.webp” title_text=”Summer bedroom side angle 1″ admin_label=”IMG summer bedroom side angle 1″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Coastal Bedroom Decor: Light Fixtures” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Light fixtures are a great addition to a coastal themed bedroom space. \u00a0As I mentioned, I am working with what I have for this little coastal bedroom decor refresh. \u00a0I love this vintage chandelier that I got many years ago at a yard sale! \u00a0The white color ties in perfectly with my earth-toned coastal design. \u00a0White is always a great option for any coastal bedroom \u00a0accessories, furniture, or accents.<\/p>\n Rattan light fixtures are also a perfect choice for a beach-themed bedroom or coastal design. \u00a0You can use rattan lights in any room where you want to add a subtle nod to the coastal design. \u00a0We recently added two rattan pendants over the kitchen island and they look so pretty! \u00a0There are so many gorgeous options, and here are a few of my favorites:<\/p>\n Natural light is really important in coastal design, so uncover those windows or at least open the blinds and let the light in! \u00a0Even though we cannot keep open windows with our heat here, I do open up the curtains every morning to let the sunshine and natural light flood in!<\/p>\n For a cozy space, ambient light is also a great addition to your coastal bedroom decor. \u00a0In my bedroom, I love having two beautiful DIY lamps we made with old wooden corbels. \u00a0You can find that tutorial HERE!<\/p>\n Secondly, we added THESE brass sconces<\/strong><\/a> over our bed and they are PERFECT!<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0They are battery-operated so there is no hardwiring required and they are super easy to hang. \u00a0Also, they work with a remote so you can dim or brighten them without ever getting up out of bed. \u00a0Talk about a relaxing retreat, right?! \u00a0Finally, they are very budget-friendly and honestly, are a gorgeous addition to any room. \u00a0The gold ties in perfectly with the coastal grandmother decor style (yes, that’s an actual decor style! \u00a0Find out more about it HERE!) that I enjoy through the rest of our home too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

Bedroom Wall Decor” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you want to refresh your bedroom, a fresh coat of wall paint will always make a big transformation! \u00a0I really enjoy simple white walls throughout most of our home. \u00a0However, in coastal-style bedrooms, a pale blue would also be so soothing and beautiful! \u00a0You can even paint just one wall as an accent wall!<\/p>\n If you have a little more budget, consider some kind of special feature installation or accent wall. \u00a0For example, we have some rooms with shiplap walls in our home so it was pretty easy to go ahead and add one shiplap wall as an accent wall behind our headboard. \u00a0White shiplap, bead board, or planks are a beautiful way to add a coastal style to your walls!<\/p>\n For wall decorations, there are so many options out there! \u00a0One year, I hung a bunch of flat and shallow thrifted baskets in a collection over the bed. \u00a0For even more of a beach house vibe, I added all of these thrifted straw hats over the bed. \u00a0Anything grouped in a collection can make for a really interesting and pretty wall art installation!<\/p>\n In a smaller space, I love THIS set of gorgeous vintage-style coastal art. \u00a0This art is incredibly budget-friendly and there are a lot of styles available. \u00a0THIS is my favorite for beach style bedrooms though!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Summer-bedroom-straw-hats.webp” title_text=”Summer

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Once all of the big pieces are in place and you have a great furniture layout, it is time to add the details. \u00a0In a coastal master bedroom, you don’t need a lot of decorative accents. \u00a0The coastal look, overall, is more simple. \u00a0However, bringing in some natural elements is essential for coastal interior design.<\/p>\n Rather than adding a lot of beach-themed decor and specific nautical styles, try a subtle nod toward the coastal vibe with simple accessories, strategically placed.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

Natural Materials” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Natural materials are also really important to pull off a classy coastal master bedroom. \u00a0We mentioned wall treatments but one of my dream additions to our bedroom is to add a pecky cypress ceiling! \u00a0This is not a budget-friendly project but it’s on the list for “someday”!<\/p>\n Even if you can’t add a stunning pecky cypress ceiling right now either, try adding some light wood tones with furniture (antique European pine is perfect!) or even a small driftwood accent styled on a tray with a vase of flowers! \u00a0THIS driftwood piece<\/strong><\/a> is perfect for vignettes.<\/p>\n Most people enjoy adding a rug in the bedroom. \u00a0So, if you’re going to have a rug anyway, go ahead and add a jute rug for the perfect, beautiful coastal bedroom look!<\/strong> <\/a>\u00a0Other jute accents such as pillow covers, ottomans, and poufs<\/strong><\/a> tie into the coastal themed bedroom.<\/p>\n Other natural textures, such as rattan, marble, wood, and glass can help create the coastal feel. \u00a0Remember, \u00a0you don’t need a lot so invest in the pieces you really love!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rattan-candle-on-books-scaled.webp” title_text=”Rattan candle on books”

_builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As you can see, I love coastal bedroom decor and enjoy adding it to our coastal master bedroom each summer. \u00a0Since we can’t be on vacation all summer, it’s fun to think of it as bringing the vacation to us!<\/p>\n The coastal look is truly a timeless style that you can enjoy for many years. \u00a0With a primarily neutral base and foundation for your bedroom furniture, colors, and decor, it is a style that can easily transition through the year with seasonal decorative touches.<\/p>\n You can browse more of my favorite coastal summer decor, curated HERE<\/strong><\/a> on my storefront. \u00a0Separately, I have curated a special list of pieces that you can use to create the coastal grandmother style<\/strong><\/a> too. \u00a0That cozy, curated list can be found HERE!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n No matter what style you decorate with this summer, I hope it’s an amazing summer for you and your family! \u00a0I hope you can find time to truly rest and refresh, not just your home, but your head and heart too!<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image
