Beach Cottage Decor Ideas
1. Create A Coastal Entry Way Table

We are obsessed with this beachy entry way table set up. It is modern, neutral, and includes that subtle beach element without being too overwhelming or tacky.Â
If you don't have space for an entry way table, then you could also do this same set up on an empty wall down a hall or in a sitting area.

2. Create A Sea Green Kitchen Theme
Recreate a similar beach cottage kitchen:
How freaking cute is this beach cottage kitchen?! The sea green accents with the white counter tops and cabinets blend so well together. I would have never thought that a pop of color could look this good.
I would copy this beach cottage kitchen in a heart beat, especially if I had a smaller kitchen.
3. Add A Beach Centerpiece
Recreate this beach cottage decor idea:
A beachy centerpiece is such an easy way to add some detail to your beach cottage. Whether you have an empty dinner table or kitchen island, a shell shaped bowl filled with some decorative balls can make a great addition.
Personally, I chose to place one of my decorative bowls on my small coffee table, so it just depends on where you have an empty space that needs to be filled.
4. Create A Beachy Book Shelf

If you have a book shelf or built in shelves in your home, then this is such an adorable decorating idea to copy. If you already have books on your book shelf, then simply put a "beach twist" on the entire space by placing a few starfish, coral, and glass bottles within the shelf.
TIP: If you don't have enough books or you want your books to all be a solid, neutral color, then go to your local thrift store to buy a few books with paper covers, then flip the paper covers inside out to be a solid color! Then, you will have all solid color books without any visible titles.Â
5. Add Coastal Lamps

 If you have a small side table next to your couch or a night stand in your bedroom, then I highly recommend adding a beachy lamp to it.Â
Lamps are perfect for decorating, plus they are functional, so that sounds like a win win to me.
6. Use Decorative Oars

We are obsessed with this beach decor idea. Who knew that oars could be such cute wall art pieces?! If you have a mud room or seating area next to your front door, then I would 100% copy this set up.
7. Ladder Of Throw Blankets
Recreate a similar beach cottage decor idea:
The ladder of throw blankets is such a classic decor idea that you can never go wrong with. It so easy to make it "beachy" with the vintage white ladder and sea green throw blankets.Â
Also, whenever guests come over they can easily grab themselves a blanket before hitting the couch.

8. Add A Tropical Plant
Recreate a similar beach cottage decor idea:
I don't know about you, but I cannot keep a plant alive to save my life. It goes well for about a month, then I slowly forget to water it . . . and then I got myself a dead plant. But, if that doesn't sound like you, then by all means go for the real version of this plant!
Plants are such an amazing decor piece (fake or real). They can instantly brighten up a room and make it feel more homey.
9. Add A Coastal Style Mirror
Recreate a similar beach cottage decor idea:
Mirrors are 100% decor pieces in my opinion. They are always such a great way to dress up a room or even make a small room appear larger.Â
This distressed plank frame has the most beautiful, "beachy" colors! I love that it has that beach theme without being tacky. With just the right amount of blues and neutrals, this mirror would make a great addition to your beach cottage.
