Are you craving to slip away to a peaceful paradise at home? Coastal bedding in your bedroom can whisk you away to tranquil shores. Elegant and comforting, your new bedroom oasis will be a welcome retreat. Imagine waking up to the blues of the sea, caressed by luxurious linens and light textiles. Here are a few fantastic ways to give your space that relaxing spa atmosphere with coastal bedding.
Choose a Soft Color Palette
Color is central to coastal bedding. Using gentle, subdued shades like tranquil waters will give you a sense of peace. Soft blues, warm beiges, and clean whites will open up your space. By selecting coastal bedding with calm tones, like the gorgeous pieces from Serena & Lily, you can create a variety of moods. You will have crafted a sophisticated bedroom that’s an instant getaway. Using natural surfaces can also enhance a calming spa environment.
Layer Your Bedding
To feel like you’re on vacation, you need to layer your bedding. High-end hotels and resorts know this. Why not feel like you’re staying there all of the time? Start with fine white sheets and layer a coastal bedding quilt or duvet with a gentle print. Natural textiles such as cotton and linen not only help you keep cool but will assure you feel tranquil. Oh, and forget the matchy-matchy. Using varying sizes of accent pillows can offer a hint of luxury. Besides looking chic, your bedding will feel irresistibly good. Now, you’re on vacation every single night.
Introduce Natural Elements
Adding natural elements to your bedroom will further the coastal theme. Use woven baskets, driftwood accents, and live plants or flowers to enhance the outdoors-in feeling.
It will make you feel like you’ve stepped into your own private spa. Coastal bedding will also benefit from materials that nod to nature. Create a cohesive look in your room.
Utilize Textures
Textural blends are an important part of creating an appealing room. When you are selecting your coastal bedding, make sure that your materials look good as well. Invest in soft cotton, breathable linen, and cozy knits. You will want to repeat that good feeling right next to your bed. Layer in matching rugs, throw blankets, and drapery to complete your coastal bedding oasis!
Focus on Ambient Lighting
You can really up the ante on that relaxing coastal feeling in your bedroom by making sure the lighting is perfect. When trying to create a spa feel with coastal bedding, go for gentle, warm lighting. Ditch your overheads in favor of desk lamps. A string of fairy lights or your favorite aromatherapy candles can also make all the difference. A sea breeze or other aquatic scents in candles, as well as some essential oils, can create a peaceful environment. You are sure to find relaxation at the end of your day!
Keep It Minimalistic
Less is more when it comes to calm and relaxation. Clutter will take away from creating the relaxing feeling that you’re after with coastal bedding. It’s important to have a clean and uncluttered space to be able to relax.
This means that you should choose a select few accessory items that express the coastal theme best and let those shine. Less is more when decorating your space, and not only will minimalist decor elevate your high-quality furniture and bedding, but it will also promote a more peaceful atmosphere.
Create a Focal Point
The final step is to think about your focal point of the room. Decide what you can use that will both draw attention, as well as summarize your coastal theme. It could be a beautiful item of artwork sold by Serena & Lily, perhaps a serene seascape, or a large piece of accent furniture. Once you have your focal point, you can then add other coastal and beach-themed designs to the rest of your bedding, linen bedding and accessories
