Beach Cottage Decor Ideas
1. Add A Beach Twist To Your Entry Way Table
Recreate a similar beach cottage decor idea:
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.
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?! It is so aesthetically pleasing. 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 To Your Dining Room Table
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
Recreate a similar beach cottage decor idea:
If you have a book shelve or built in shelves in your living room or bedroom, 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.
5. Add Clear Blue Beach Lamp To Your Living Room

How stunning is this aqua blue lamp?! 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.
Lamps are perfect for decorating, plus they are functional, so that sounds like a win win to me.
6. Hang Beachy Oars On Your Wall
Recreate a similar beach cottage decor idea:
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.
However, if you don't have a space like that, but still want to use the oars as decor, then you could hang them above your bed as opposed to a painting! Personally, I love the way mix matched oars look, but you could always match them for more of a theme look.
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.
We are huge fans of the "ladder idea" because it not only looks super cute, but it is also a great way to organize/store your throw blankets. So, whenever guests come over, they easily grab themselves a blanket before hitting the couch.
8. Add A Tropical Fake 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). I feel that they instantly brighten up a room and make it feel more homey. Plus, with a beach cottage, a tropical plant couldn't be more fitting.
9. Add A Beachy 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.
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's entry way.
