30 Modern Coastal Bedroom Ideas

Coastal bedrooms can be created by blending different shades of blue, green, and sand colors in a room. Create your own coastal haven with these design ideas.

Having a coastal themed bedroom is a great way to relax away the stresses of the day. Different shades of blue can elicit a feeling of relaxation and calm in your mind. With a coastal bedroom, you will be blending different shades of blues to help create the overall look.

After selecting your color palette, you can blend a variety of different textures and patterns to help bring the whole feeling of the sand and sea to your room.

Try to add decor and artwork that help reflect the coastal feeling such as palm leaves, nautical scenes, sunsets, and seabirds. You'll find these small accents can turn an average room into a seaside paradise for you and your family.

Mirrors are a common item to have in a bedroom, but the simple frames they normally have are not always suited for a coastal theme. Instead, try a DIY project of securing small pieces of driftwood to your mirror frame and painting them in a color that blends with the rest of the room.

If you can’t decide on a single color to focus on, use the entire range from sand to sea. The deep dark blues of the deep ocean, the lighter blues of the shallow tide pools, the beige and tans of the warm sand, and the darker browns for driftwood. These colors combine well for the ultimate coastal themed bedroom.
