It’s the beginning of May. I’m dreaming of a beach vacation. It’s not in the cards for another month, so I am dreaming of the interior decorating style that embraces beach chic.

A colleague of mine, Wendy Patrick, who lives in Florida and helps clients decorate their second homes or rental properties has a great handle on beach chic. Without being too kitschy, you know what I mean?

I love the neutral walls in the above photo, punctuated with turquoise and a green taken right out of nature.

I love the giant clam shell above. This is definitely an idea anybody can infuse into their home for that little bit of beachy vibe.

The bedroom above was designed by my friend and uber talented designer, Rejoy Interiors, for a beach inspired bedroom for her client in Orange County, California. The front pillow looks just like water to me, don’t you agree? This is another take on beach chic that would work in any state!

And finally, above is a bathroom we designed years ago. The mosaic tile had a blue-green-mother-of-pearl color, so we added some silver coral to complement it and the fixtures. It has a bit of a beach-chic-spa-style, without trying too hard, don’t you think?

If you would like help designing or decorating your space, beach-chic style or otherwise, please give us a call to get on the calendar! 972-248-4733

XOXO,
