Bring the Beach Lifestyle Home
Kadence Buchanan
Most of us who come home from work and have a million things to
do upon our return there is considerable evidence that you have
forgotten how it feels to be able to relax. But as another
summer is slipping away, you should grab the opportunity to let
yourself loose in a scenery that can be feast for your eyes and
sole. If you have not yet visited the beach this year but wish
you had but no time is available for you to travel to the
closest beach, then bring the beach home and enjoy the feeling
of having a personal recreational spot at your own premises. You
should consider creating a seaside feel in your outdoor space
and enjoy memories of the shore at home.
- Choose the right color: Your choice of color will be the
biggest stress-reliever in your personal home "beach" scene.
Select some of the numerous relaxing hues of the beach that can
be sun-bleached or sand- and water-washed. Look at your favorite
beach vacations pictures and imagine the cool and inviting water
colors, the lapping of the sea waves on the shore, the pale sand
under your feet as you walk across the beach, the tall pale
green beach grasses, the pale pink and coral of shells, or the
white clouds in a the blue sky to find the palette of your
choice. In case you prefer looking at brighter colors, you
should better use bright blue, pink or orange. Place them on
striped fabric or small accessories such candles and add some
sunny feeling in your personal beach shore.
- Add the right furniture: Casual wooden seating and folding
chairs decorated with colorful stripped canvas slings, under a
bright white or colored canvas big sun umbrella, which you can
secure inside a large sand bucket, will add to your beach
atmosphere.
- Select fabrics and motifs: The motifs you have on your beach
towels, bags, or even flip-flops can be a great inspiration for
your final selection of fabrics. Canvas and soft cotton fabrics
are also the best choices for your outdoor beach surroundings.
- Decorate your space: You can install decorative hooks on the
outdoor walls and hang beach accessories, candles, shells,
rocks, glass, fishing nets, or just fabrics, as your personally
added "art." All these can have a great effect in your outdoor
space and bring the look and feel closer to the one you admired
last time you visited the actual beach. You can also display
your shells and pebbles in clear glass dishes, jars or flat
plates. In case you have large shells in your beach treasures
and collections, then consider transforming them into candles by
pouring candle wax around a wick in the shell cavity itself.
- Do not forget to experiment: Whatever kind of shore you
prefer, you can always change the scenery and add another feel
to the home beach you are creating. Changing the colors, the
fabrics, the accessories or even the furniture can be your
annual "thing" and you will always enjoy having people over and
relax while drinking a cold margarita cocktail at the
convenience of your own back yard.
