I need help creating a beach retreat in my bedroom!?
I would like to have a beach cottage theme in my bedroom. I like the colors blue and light, butter yellow. My walls are white now, but money is tight. Any ideas are considered. Thank you!
If you can afford to paint, you might put that cheery buttery yellow on he walls.
If your furniture is dark, a white bedspread or coverlet would look light and airy and fresh. You could add some throw pillows in shades of blue and yellows. Look for a pretty light blue or yellow area rug for the floor.
A white wicker chair (could be spray-painted) in a corner would be the perfect place for a reading nook. Add a skirted table (blue or yellow) and some beach-y accessories such as a basket or bowl of shells or white coral, etc.
Ask home improvement stores for old wallpaper sample books. Use the pages in the colors you like to cover a few hardback books. Stack on a nightstand or a table.
Add billowy light curtains to the windows to let in lots of fresh air and sunshine.
Get rid of anything dark and heavy in color or texture. Go for light and natural.
Check out thrift stoares for prints in beach or water scenes. You can always re-finish the frame in white or go for a distressed look.
go to HGTV.com, they have done several lately

the cheapest way is to paint and go to the Dollar store from time to time and find things that will work in your room for example a glass jar and some sea shells, sponges, a print or poster framed a plant , some coloured sand inside a fish tank you don’t need to purchase everything at once you know!
a nice chair covered with some tropical fabric
