Beachy Bedroom Makeover - Transform Your Space Using Coastal Elements

This beachy bedroom transformation has subtle coastal elements, dark grey walls, a mix of patterns and bright white accents.

It doesn’t feel that long ago but we bought our little apartment on the Jersey Shore more than 10 years ago now.  Our lives were very different back then and this little getaway has changed as drastically as our lives.  We renovated the bathroom and kitchen and carved a kid’s room out of the living room space.  It was finally time to tackle our bedroom.  It had never been a priority before but a restful place to lay our heads has suddenly taken on new meaning. This is how we found it the day we decided to purchase it.



Let’s just say Better Homes & Gardens wasn’t going to come calling anytime soon.  We did a few patches here and there with some Ikea furniture and paint but it never felt like a truly well put together, restful space.



I’m happy to share it’s finally a totally different room thanks to some help from my friends at Hayneedle. The anchor of the room is the Linen Tufted Wingback Bed which is a beautiful shade of navy. As you can see, I didn’t want to go too crazy with the coastal vibe but I wanted to have just the suggestion of the shore.

 

Since there were already a lot of rectangles in the room I wanted to add some more organic shapes and textures.  I started with the using these round end tables in place of traditional nightstands. The walls were painted a dramatic deep grey (BM Kendall Charcoal) but needed a little artwork to break it up. The abstract artwork stopped me dead in my scroll – the perfect shade, organic shape and nod to the sea without being something too on the nose.

Coastal Elements Give A Beachy Bedroom Vibe

For lots of extra storage as well as a warm infusion of natural wood, we put this long 8 dresser chest of drawers along the long wall.  This thing holds sooo much and looks lovely doing it.

 

Finally, my absolute favorite addition is this modern update on a wingback chair.  Tucked in the corner, it’s the perfect spot to flip through a magazine or put on your sandals before heading out.


I’m so happy with this beachy bedroom now that I catch myself peeking in there every chance I get!
