3. Sea shells and corals

Your best coastal home décor would not complete if you do not have several sea shells and corals in the room. That is why you should try to find decoration that has sea shells or coral shape and put it all around the house. If you want something useful then you can always find a chandelier that made from sea shells. But if you want something simple, you can just create small shelf in the wall and put all of those sea creatures on the wall to decorate your room. (via etsy homebnc)

4. Weathered and rustic finish

For your furniture and hardware, do not use anything that look too modern and metallic. Instead having weathered furniture and rustic hardware will really make your coastal home décor become more authentic. That is why when choosing the finishing for your furniture and other kinds of metal material in your room you must try to have them weathered and rustic finished. This finishing will make them appear old as if it used to be used inside an old ship a long time ago. This will also make the furniture look unique thus will add dramatic effect on the end result of your design. (via homebunch)

Tips in Using Coastal Decoration in Your House

When you using coastal theme in your house, you must think about how you can balance everything. Most of the time people go overboard with the small items that they place in the room. Sure, nautical themed items are all very unique and beautiful that is why you all want to use them in every room. However having all of those items at once will make the room feel overcrowded thus will eliminate the free and refreshing feeling that coastal theme should have. That is why be very careful and divide the items that you found evenly on all room or make a good and nice display for them so it will be more organized.

Lighting is another important thing in using coastal home décor since the decoration would not appear beautiful with the right kind of lighting. That is why you must make sure that your room is well lidded. It is better when you can open the area so natural light can come to lid the room. However for closed room you can also use light bulb, and arrange it for maximum lighting to make the room bright.
