When your soul longs to be a starfish
Somehow, the seaside makes us wild—in the best way. One moment you are a grown-up with bills to pay, and the next, you are online learning to make art from sea wood, sipping coconut drink, and thinking of buying a hammock you will never use.
Welcome to the world of seaside vibes—a place where salt and soul meet, under the faint smell of sunscreen and untamed dreams.
Why love the coast so much?
Truth be told, most of us aren't near a beach. We live in cities; the nearest wave is the fall of a Wi-Fi signal. Still, we make our homes look like a sea god’s guest place.
Why?
Because the seaside look is more about feelings than place. It’s about the vibe. It’s about dreaming your life is a happy movie with ukulele songs.
What it really gives:
- Escape: From due dates, fuss, and the rule of pants.
- Simplicity: A shell, a breeze, a soft shirt. That’s all. That’s the story.
- Romance: Not just love kisses. The type where you love your life anew.
Key Seaside Style Bits
Let’s tear apart this style, like a crab making a quick exit.
1. Color Mix That Whispers
Think calm blues, sandy beiges, sea greens, and sharp whites. These colors don’t yell—they whisper. They say, “I’m chill, I’m cool, I might own a boat.”
Skip the bright colors. Unless you want “Late Night Miami Beach” vibes; that’s all glitter, regret, and maybe a guy named Chad.
2. Touches That Feel Like Nature’s Hug
- Linen: Yes to wrinkles, but it's also classy. It's like a slow, chill Sunday.
- Wicker and Rattan: Like chairs made by mermaids relaxing.
- Driftwood: Art from the sea. Also, good to have if someone hates on your ocean-themed bathroom.
3. Decor That’s Not Trying Too Hard
If your decor looks like it’s trying to win a prize, you missed the mark.
Try:
- Bowls of shells (extra if you found them yourself, not bought at a shiny store).
- Adult snow globes, which are bottles with sand.
- Art showing waves, boats, or words like “Let the sea set you free”—may sound corny but feels right when you're done with everything.
Seaside Style in Each Space
Let’s spread this style at home. Yes, even the bathroom. Mainly the bathroom.
Living Room: Chill Starts Here
Your easy haven by the sea. Think soft curtains that move as if in a love movie. Add a rough rug, sea pillows, and a coffee table from old wood.
Pro tip: A bowl of sea glass makes it look like you’ve got everything sorted, even if dinner was just cereal.
Bedroom: Coastal Wrap
Your room should be as comfy as a nap in the breeze. Soft covers in whites and blues, maybe a lamp shaped like a shell if you’re into that. Put up a sea picture above your bed to gaze at when you think over life.
And, fairy lights. Because twinkle lights around a mirror mean you've got it all figured out.
Bathroom: Like a Mermaid's Space
This is where the beach look shines. Think simple white tiles, ocean-scent candles, and a shower curtain from a sea hotel.
Try a basket of neat towels (striped for bonus points), and maybe a fun sign like “Get naked. Just kidding. This is a family place.”
Kitchen: Coastal but Useful
Skip turning your kitchen into a fish hut. Add little things—blue pots, a bowl of lemons, maybe a cutting board shaped like a fish if you dare.
And if you're all in: sea salt in a neat jar. It’s just salt, but feels like so much more.
Seaside Style: Dress Like You Run a Lighthouse
Don't forget how you dress. What’s it all for if your clothes don’t say, "I might be barefoot on a yacht?"
Must-Haves
- Linen tops that whisper “I enjoy poetry and daytime wine.”
- Flowy dresses that catch the wind and have you starring in a scent ad.
- Straw hats, 70% style, 30% shade, 100% boldness.
Shoes
- Espadrilles: Perfect when you want to look.
