A simple color palette for a relaxing beach house

The difference will obviously be the colors: what are the shades that come to mind if you think of the sea?

Surely all the shades of blue and turquoise combined with the inevitable white, the basis of marine style.

You can decide to use these colors free wheel both on the walls, but also on knick-knacks, fabrics and, why not, also on the furniture.

As for the walls, especially in the living room, but also in the bedrooms and bathroom you can paint 3 white walls and one in shades of blue or you could play with a modern wallpaper that depicts a beach or a sunset on the crystal clear waves. Doing so will give more brightness to the rooms, making them look more spacious and recreate relaxing spaces, reminiscent of the colors of the sea.

White and blue are not the only colors, among which you can choose: even neutral shades such as ivory, beige, light gray or sand dye can be used.

Focus on marine-themed decorations and accessories
