One of the first things we think about when we say “beach” are palm trees. But if you don’t have the luxury of real palm trees around you, opt for a palm tree printed throw pillow or a framed photo. This way, you can relax under the palm trees without ever having to leave your home.
2. Add Some Paintings

Enjoy the relaxing view of ocean waves from the comfort of your coastal living room. Blue is also a chic color to incorporate into your living room. It even matches well with almost any other color. So chill out with some ocean paintings and photos on your walls.
3. Bring Home Some Seashells

4. Go Nautical

It’s really easy to add a nautical touch to your living room. Anything that comes in navy, sea, or sky blue are subtle ways to bring the beach into your living room. Go for large blue and white stripes as an accent.

Wicker furniture doesn’t usually come across as a trendy or chic. But trust me, with the right styling, they can bring out the luxe in some of the most common beachy living room ideas.
7. Think Coastal

Coastal decor is the star of beachy living room ideas. After all, if you want to make your living room beachy, you have to decorate it as if you’re actually living by the beach. Coastal living rooms usually have big windows decorated with light, bright curtains and drapes, light-toned furniture, and a relaxed atmosphere.
8. Let the Sun In
