Summer is such a beautiful season, and it also means time to head out to the beach! If you can't afford to go out though, why not bring in the fun and the bright sun into your own home? Here are some tips.
Integrate the colors of the beach in your décor. Go for turquoise, light blue, or maybe a bit of yellow, and then pair it up with neutral hues like beige and white. You can play with these colors with your beddings, curtains, and other accents. If you aren't such a fan of bright colors, going white-on-white is a good idea too. If you have enough time and energy, you can even switch your bathroom tiles to the colors of the water and sand. Learn how to decorate with seaside shades here.
Take your seashell collection out! Turn your treasured shells into functional pieces by using them as holders, planters, and fitting centerpieces at home. These little trinkets will definitely add the sea element to your home and will make you reminisce about lovely times by the beach. Here are easy to do DIY projects using seashells.
If you're ambitious, you can even distress your furniture for a chic-weathered beach house look. Head on to the nearest thrift shop or garage sale and look for pieces that are made of wood or twine that are in good condition. Paint it over with some classic white, and add little accents of color like turquoise. You'll instantly give life to your living room or to your porch!

Mason jar lovers unite! Of course the never-ending trend of using mason jars can apply when it comes to beach-inspired crafts. Use it as planters for your succulents, paint over them and use them as candles in your bathroom, or put a little bit of sand and shells in it and put it in your living room. If you have spare jars lying around, take the time to craft it up! This tutorial for beach memory jars is perfect for the summer.
