Do you like the idea of a beach-style bedroom? Me too.
There’s a calming yet intriguing vibe to the white and blue colors of the sea.
But is beachy style only about those two colors?
I don’t think so.
It also includes variations like beachy boho or beachy coastal themes.
Let me guide you through how this charming beach theme offers a variety of choices.

Wooden Furniture
Even without the classic bright white and blue shades of a beach house, this space leans more towards a peaceful and soothing coastal boho bedroom.
I’m talking about the use of neutral colors like gray or tan.
Plus, bringing in natural materials, such as a driftwood nightstand, which feels like you’re bringing a piece of the outdoors into your bedroom.
This bedroom has a modern vibe but cleverly incorporates beachy touches through the blue shades in the pillows, curtains, and rug.
Using a wooden box as a bench not only gives it a bit of a rustic look but also serves a practical purpose.
You can tuck away those rarely used bits and pieces, making it both a stylish and useful addition.
White timber often comes to mind first for me when I think about beach houses.
Perhaps it’s the relaxed and easy breezy vibe I feel from looking at this bedroom that reminds me so much of being near the beach.
Putting in a white timber ceiling really makes the space feel brighter and airier, perfectly capturing that beach-like atmosphere.
Wicker Furniture
Without needing the blue of the sea, using gray and white like the shades of those pebbles can still give your bedroom a coastal vibe.
And for a bohemian touch, I think mixing in different textures and patterns from things like rugs and pillows is a good start.
I suggest adding bits of rattan, like the basket here, it’s a popular choice in boho designs.
Or you can consider a wicker headboard like this one, it could be just what your bedroom needs to create a calm, soothing atmosphere with natural materials.
This headboard looks great with the taupe wall behind it, which reminds me of the sight of beach sand.
I think using a jute rug means that you can easily blend modern or traditional styles in a beachy or coastal-themed bedroom.
Jute brings a natural and authentic feel, being a natural material itself, and it also looks cool and relaxed.
To me, it just looks right for creating that easygoing beachy vibe in a bedroom.
Patterned Throw Pillows
Honestly, throwing in some patterns or beach-inspired colors into your bedding could be the simplest trick to fill your bedroom with that ocean breeze vibe.
We have some aqua-green pillows here which I think it’s pretty popular in some beach-themed bedrooms.
This one has a mix of blue and white on your pillows, a deep blue blanket, and crisp white sheets. It’s like directly flying to the blue skies and deep ocean blues.
I feel like the patterns and those soft, cozy textures on the pillows just naturally bring out a chill vibe that goes hand in hand with that laid-back beachy boho feel.
In this setup, it serves as a backdrop, making the striped bedding stand out even more.
Creative Headboards
If you’re aiming for a complete coastal bedroom vibe, I’d suggest giving your headboard some decorative touches.
Take this white timber headboard, for example.
It perfectly mirrors the look of white timber beach chairs and blends nicely with other decor items.
Turning old windows or doors into a headboard is a great idea for adding a rustic touch to your room.
It creates a chilled-out seaside atmosphere, much like a small beach cottage. Also, it’s an affordable option to give old windows a new life.
Decorative Walls
What I mean by the wall is the one behind your headboard.
If you’re going for a simple look with your headboard, consider adding a unique touch to the wall behind it to craft a beach-themed highlight in your bedroom.
Honestly, I think a baby blue-and-white striped wall like this one can instantly give your room a beachy vibe.
You could even mount some shelves to display your collection of plants or sea creatures.
If you’re aiming for a beachy atmosphere, a white shiplap wall with some pictures like this one could be just what you need.
If you’re concerned about your beachy bedroom looking too plain or dull without patterns, I believe it will be perfectly okay.
I’m all for keeping my room as simple as can be like this one right here.
After all, the main goal of your bedroom is to be a place where you can unwind and relax, right? So, there’s no need for overly busy patterns or distractions.
Macrame (or Macramé)
Using macrame with unique patterns is an excellent method to introduce a bohemian vibe to your beach-themed bedroom.
The custom patterns of the macrame add a personal touch to the decor.
I’d really enjoy having macrame above my bed; it’s the perfect accent for a coastal boho look.
Bringing wood and natural touches into your bedroom, I feel, is like taking a big step towards that soothing beachy boho look.
It kind of wraps the coastal calmness around your space.
And the macrame is like the cherry on top, offering your room those relaxed, laid-back vibes.
Linen Bedding
Linen is one of those fabrics that I found most reminding to add a boho touch to your beachy bedroom.
If you have a nearly all-white bedroom like this one, the beige linen gives that natural look, and relaxed, calming vibe to your room which adds warmth and textures to your room.
For a beachy or coastal vibe, it’s really about creating a light and airy atmosphere, and that’s where linen plays a crucial role.
Its breathable nature reminds me of the laid-back and relaxing lifestyle by the seaside.
Linen is quite durable too, it can stand up to wear and tear, which probably explains its popularity in these decor styles.
Big Windows
I’d say it’s a waste not to have massive glass windows or doors looking straight out of the ocean if you have that stunning beach view.
A white bedroom is timeless, offering a light and airy feel.
And maybe keeping the bedroom simple is best, especially with a stunning ocean view like this one.
Pops of Colors
The vibrant blue walls and the sunny yellow headboard in this room make me think of a bright day at the beach.
And the white timber ceiling?
It’s just like the ones you often find in beach houses.
To me, this room has a bit of a traditional vibe, perhaps due to the canopy bed.
However, if you’re into baby blue, this bedroom would be right up your alley.
To add a more natural feel, there’s a generous use of wood throughout from the beams on the ceiling to the wooden floor.
I think it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and a colorful look.
Different Shades of Blue
You probably notice that the sea doesn’t just come in a perfect blue, so my advice for you is don’t stick to one shade.
Using a range of blue hues in your bedroom is a good idea to mimic different bodies of water.
This one showcases bright blue accents alongside classic nautical stripes, adding a splash of color against the backdrop of white and wood tones.
This is quite a unique layout from the previous bedroom.
Of course, living in an attic doesn’t stop people from seeking coastal inspirations, the nautical blue shades really stand out against the backdrop of white and wood tones.
And of course, you can use wicker furniture, like a basket or nightstand, along with a knitted throw blanket, which introduces a touch of boho style as well.
The Bottom Lines
If you dive deeper into beachy styles, you’ll likely find that they often mix with other themes, such as nautical or coastal styles.
What I’m sharing here isn’t just about pure beachy styles on their own but rather a mix of styles that draw inspiration from seaside elements.
With that, I hope you enjoy discovering and playing with many sea-themed bedroom combinations.
