12 Beach Decor Ideas To Try this Summer, that will take you on a relaxing getaway, even if you don’t leave your own home.
Ah…summer time. The time of year we generally feel the need for a well deserved break and plan for getaways. A time to sit back, relax and be carefree.
I’ve always been drawn to any destination with water. Whether it be a lake, an ocean or river. A summer getaway isn’t complete without some form of water activity.
Even as a child, this was the case, although that usually meant a swimming pool, even if it were in my hometown.
As I’ve grown, the urge to relax near a body of water has only amplified.
For me it’s a time to decompress and invigorate my senses and view the beautiful world around me. I think feeling the warm soft sand between my toes and cooling my body from the heat of the day in the cold refreshing water refreshes my soul.
Listening to the waves crashing against the shore and slowly breathe in the fresh salty air tainted with scents of sunscreen while sipping on an ice cold beverage.
Perhaps this is why I’m drawn to all things coastal.
The whole beach scene in essence almost becomes a sanctuary as my stresses melt away.
Easy & Affordable Beach Decor Ideas
Even though we’re focusing on the calm relaxing vibes that can be created with beach decor, it’s also important for the soul to play and have some fun.
Why not freshen up your front porch with the invitation of excitement and fun using a pool noodle to hang on your front door?
Or drape a beach towel and display squirt guns.

Patriotic Beach Decor
Beach decor can also be easily spruced up with patriotic decor.
With multiple patriotic holidays during the summer months, it’s easy to incorporate this look simply with patriotic colors.
Or by placing small flags into a centerpiece or flower arrangement.
Natural Beach Decor
Displaying shells and coral is a simple way to create this calm coastal look.
If you like to gather mementos from your getaways such as shells or sand, displaying them can often bring back fond memories from these experiences.
