Resort-Inspired Style
Whether it’s your beach home that you relax in or a beach vacation rental home that others get to relax in, you want to have an ambiance of tranquility, peace and beauty. That’s where resort-inspired touches of style come in. It’s those little things that make a big difference. Flowers on the table, spa-like luxuries in the bathroom, minimal clutter and maximum style. That’s what it’s all about this season. Peruse your favorite resorts and get inspired to bring some touches of luxury into your coastal oasis. Minimalistic rooms bring a touch of elegance and classic style to any space.
Mixed Metallics
There’s no need to keep silver with silver and gold with gold in every room of your beach home. Go ahead and get creative by mixing metallics together and enjoy the eclectic results. Warm coppers, brushed golds, and steely grays are all welcome to mingle this season. Take a look at the pieces you already have in your vacation rental. Can you mix them up and use them in a different room, in a different way? Go for it! You are only limited to your imagination. It’s easy to create an entirely new look just by swapping out your metals and mixing them in new places and new spaces.
Bright Entryways
2018 is all about light, bright and airy entryways. Brighten the focal point of your home by allowing the natural light to flow in freely and fully. It’s easy to make your entryway new again by including a few poignant decor and design pieces that accentuate the space and add to its beauty. Remove the extra clutter and choose your design elements wisely. Aim for space and balance with a touch of cozy elegance. You can’t go wrong! Move things around until you find the right design for your entryway.
Pretty Plants
Bringing the natural beauty of the outdoors in is big, big, big this year. Use nature’s best to add to the interior decor of your beach house or vacation home. Interesting plants, blossoming flowers, and whatever greenery you love most can easily become a beautiful way to accentuate your other furnishings. Use a mix of interesting pots, differing heights, and staggered placements in an artful way. Have fun with it and use what you have in your own yard or garden if you can.
Neutral Greens
Neutrals aren’t just shades of tans and browns anymore. Neutral greens are hot this year, and are especially calming and tranquil for bedrooms and living rooms where a coastal element is already in place. Natural colors and elements are part of what’s trending for 2018 so it’s easy to find beautiful shades of greens that highlight your room and bring out its natural beauty. Neutral greens make a lovely color choice for bathrooms, too. Green is the new black!
Big Art
Big art makes a big statement in 2018. Whether its a singular piece of large-scale artwork or an entire art-gallery-style wall filled with your favorite photos or paintings, you’re on trend with wall decor and design this season. Find the right place for the right piece of artwork and it’s an instant design lift for any room. You can even use a unique piece of artwork for the design inspiration and focal point from which everything else flows.
