Living on the coast? Have a beach house? In both cases, if you are going to celebrate Christmas there, you will need to pull off beautiful coastal Christmas decor to create a festive atmosphere. How to do that so that you and your family enjoyed the holidays on the beach? Here are some ideas.
The tricky thing about coastal Christmas decor is that these two things are usually opposite ones, Christmas is about snowy forests and woodlands and snowy fairy tales, and coasts and beach are about heat, sunshine and beach sand. But you can merge these two things creating one unforgettable combo choosing right colors and shades and proper decorations and giving your space a unique look.

Let’s start from the color scheme: white, aqua, turquoise, navy, light blues, greens and silver are the colors you need to create a beach holiday feel. You may also incorporate a bit of gold and gold glitter if they look cohesive in your space. You may rock all these colors or choose just some for a laconic color scheme and add metallics to brighten up the looks. Let’s decorate your Christmas tree – choose a flocked or just white one for a beachy feel, and decorate it not only with usual baubles according to your color scheme but also with starfish, seashells, oyster shells, buoys-styled ornaments and driftwood to make your Christmas tree feel like a beachy one. If you don’t have any special beach-themed ornaments, you can DIY them, for example, make garlands and ornaments of seashells or oyster shells, turn usual baubles into buoys, make faux starfish decor of clay and so on. Create centerpieces and arrangements of corals, seashells, starfish and other stuff mixing all that with ornaments of your choice and with faux snow. Style your mantel in a coastal Christmas way: white and aqua ornaments, white faux fur or mint blue stockings, faux snow and ice, garlands of seashells will give you an ultimate result. Aqua-colored stockings, mint blue garlands and ribbons, oars, coast photos and artworks will help you finish off the space. Don’t be excessive with your decor to avoid tasteless looks, here less is more for real. Such decor will look like a dream come true – a Christmas party right on the beach, by the sea, get inspired by the ideas below and enjoy!
