Hotel rooms that look sophisticated and deliriously glamorous don’t have to remain out of reach. You can achieve that same appeal at home just by focusing on a few accessories or a monochrome design. If you choose to go monochrome with your furniture and colors, be sure to use different textures.This helps to add depth to the décor.

Light it Up.

You don’t need the languorous ocean right outside your window. Get beach-inspired décor that makes you feel like you’re about to work on your tan. Colors play an important part in beach décor, so try to incorporate blue and green shades. These powerful colors work well against white.

Think texture when organizing beach décor in a room. The seaside calls to mind sharp or uneven shells, soft sand and cool oceans. Choose pieces of décor that help to capture these various textures, such as smooth wooden tables, driftwood lamps and shell chandeliers.

Color is important in a room where you like to relax. The shades should be soothing and soft. However, accessories and textures also make a difference in either boosting or calming one’s mood. The use of wood and vintage accessories can help to exude a nostalgic, comforting feeling, along with earthy shades.
