My in-laws purchased a home in Florida a few years ago and have been steadily working to revamp the inside. My mother-in-law asked me to put together a few ideas for her living room. She likes cool, traditionally beachy colors: turquoise, navy, green. The walls are an off-white and the basics will be neutral, which provides the perfect opportunity to accessorize in color. The best thing about that is that accessories that feel tired after a few years can be switched out without disrupting the room too much.
While I think that a blue couch might be outside of her comfort zone, I like the immediate beach feel that this blue brings to the room. The accents are all neutral in this scheme, and the textures and materials feel beach inspired.
Accessorize and add color with pillows. How great is this umbrella pillow! So perfect for the beach.
And make a vacation statement with art. Trey Speegle is the artist, and these two prints together in a room would not only add more color, but would make a great statement. Put them on different walls, and see if guests notice!
Or remind everyone to enjoy the beach with photographs.
Or how about a flamingo? Flamingos remind me of being in Florida when I was little.
Now shake it up, pour yourself a gin and tonic, and relax by the beach!
