Decorating for Christmas in Coastal Style

Small Christmas tree planted on sandy beach

If you like the coastal décor theme and want to do Christmas in that look, you may wish to consider the following ideas for making your Christmas Santa’s dream vacation.

The Christmas tree can be flocked white and covered in cool colors of ocean turquoise, a hemp rope for garland, some balls enrobed in fishnet and tied with raffia or turquoise grosgrain ribbon. Use starfish, in natural colors or bleached white, aqua raffia bows and maybe a tree skirt of turquoise coral on a white background. If not that, then try bleached linen stamped with aqua starfish, or a burlap tree skirt to look like sand. Or go all in by putting the tree into a plastic wading pool and (if you don’t have cats) put sand in it to act as the tree skirt. For the tree topper, try this unique handmade lace coral and seashell topper by Sea Things Ventura.

Don’t forget to decorate the walls with your beach-themed Christmas decorations. Use this sand dollar wall art as a cute snowman substitute and these starfish towel hooks or sand dollar towel hooks to hang your beach themed Christmas stockings.

Use these octopus ornaments as place card holders on your table scape, blue ornaments with sea shells inside them in the centerpiece with these turquoise bottle brush trees and you’ll definitely need many shiny turquoise ornaments to use in centerpieces or just use to hang on the tree and around the house. Add some lights to your centerpiece via this sea glass fairy light strand. Don’t forget to add a little relief to the turquoise by adding some white ornaments to the centerpiece, otherwise it may be a little overwhelming or monotonous.

Remember to stay warm during the cooler weather. Offer this turquoise octopus throw as a way to keep your toes cozy during the Christmas season.

The door needs a wreath, so try this Etsy offering from Beautiful Mesh, with starfish and sand dollars. Wind this garland of starfish and sand dollars around the stair rail, hang it from the fireplace, or over a doorway. If you want to bring in the “reason for the season”, try this mother of pearl nativity shell.

Finally, remember that your guests are probably going to enjoy your beach themed Christmas, so give them a little beach to take home with them. Give them a message in a bottle ornament with sand inside and tell them that the message is that you love them very much. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about?

If you have a bathroom vanity that has two doors under the sink, the usual thing to do is to put the same pulls or knobs on the doors. You can put the same thing twice, identically shaped and colored knobs, or you can do something else and use figural cabinet knobs.

When we think of “coastal décor” we usually think of white, off-white, soft blues and greens and shiplap and light wood tones. That’s what the “traditional” Western “coastal décor” consists of, but not every country is under the “Western” influence when it comes to their coastal choices.
