Summer style: Beachy blue and white accents. This always takes me back to my childhood days in Newport Beach, California. Though we lived a mile or two from the beach, my summers were mostly spent by the pool in our community, surrounded by the charming homes of Harbor View. These homes, built in the late 60s and early 70s, are now being transformed into stunning multi-million dollar residences, often featuring a lot of blue, white, and natural decor. Curating items in these colors brought back so many fond memories, and I’m excited to share some beautiful summer pieces to bring a coastal vibe into your home. Most of these items are from Target, so let’s dive in!
This natural basket with leather straps is not only stylish but also on sale for just $9.99! It’s perfect for holding blankets, magazines, extra pillows, or even faux flowers in a pot. Baskets are such versatile decor pieces that add a touch of warmth and texture to any room.
The woven rattan look on the cupboard doors of this sideboard caught my eye. With its clean lines and total beach look, it’s perfect for a coastal home. Picture a vase, some pretty books, and a lamp on top—maybe even a large seashell for that extra beachy touch.
For the table, I chose these pretty woven placemats with a fringed edge. Stack a white dinner plate with a fun beachy salad plate on top, and you have the perfect beach tablescape.
Speaking of beachy salad plates, these blue ones with a seahorse design are delightful! Made of melamine, they’re perfect for outdoor use and won’t break. Pair them with these amazing cut glass blue highball glasses for the perfect coastal touch.
For a centerpiece, why not use this pretty glass vase with blue hydrangeas? I’ve always admired the spectacular color of blue hydrangeas and remember seeing them in abundance along the Oregon coast.
Target has some amazing blue and white natural fabric pillows. I particularly love the lumbar oversized pillows. They’d look so cute on my white sofa or chairs. You can never have enough throw pillows, right?
This rug doesn’t scream beach, but its colors work perfectly for a blue and white scheme. It would look amazing paired with the natural wood and white fabric chair I found.
The natural wood tone and roomy seat make it a great addition to any coastal-inspired room.
Of course, greenery is essential in any room. A faux ficus tree is a great option if you’re like me and aren’t sure about growing a real one. Growing up, my mom always had ficus trees both inside and outside our Newport Beach home.
Let’s not forget about actually going to the beach, lake, or pool. This blue and white tote from LL Bean is perfect for carrying all your snacks, water toys, and other fun things. The zip top ensures nothing will fall out, making it a practical and stylish choice.
I hope you enjoyed my curated items to create a beautiful coastal vibe in your home. Whether you live by the beach or just want to bring that feeling into your space, these pieces are sure to add a touch of summer charm. Happy decorating!
