Just like a lot of people, we wish that we could stay at the beach all year round! There's nothing more relaxing than the warmth of the sand between your toes and the sound of waves lapping against the shore. Unfortunately, we aren't quite living the dream yet here at Piazza Pisano, though we're pretty close! Our solution is the next best thing: using Nautical Décor to create a little piece of the beach at home. Here are our favorite tips for creating your own little slice of paradise.

Outdoor Nautical Decorations


If you want to truly replicate the beach at home, you should start outside the house. And no, that doesn't mean you should fill your back yard with 2 tons of sand! Let the décor slowly unveil your nautical theme with small touches like wooden fences inspired by the sand retention fences on the beach or Nautical Rope House Numbers.

Create a relaxed atmosphere in the back yard with your own party patio. Set up some cute tables and umbrellas for grilling and sharing a margarita or two. Complete the seaside vibe with some Adirondack chairs and twinkle lights wrapped around the fence and you'll swear you can hear the ocean when you close your eyes!

Bringing the Nautical Theme Indoors


As wonderful as your backyard is now, eventually you're going to have to go inside, but that doesn't mean the beach can't follow you. Keep your theme going strong with these ideas and some key pieces of Nautical Décor.

•

Keep things organized and decorations minimal – the beach is all about relaxing and clearing your mind. If your house is full of clutter, it makes it that much harder to enter the state of mind you need.

•

Paint a room or a wall in a light, airy color, like mint green or soft yellow. Look to the houses you see dotting beaches across America for inspiration.

•

Hang a few Nautical Signs to let guests know they've arrived at ocean!

•

Put out some large shells on your tables, and get cute little shell shaped soaps for the bathroom.

•

Tie it all together with one or two anchor pieces (pun intended). We love Al's Home Port Lighthouse Clock for this. All your guests will admire your sense of style with this gracing your home!

When you put all of these elements together, you'll be able to create a beach paradise of your very own!
