What are some good decoration ideas for a beach room?

Ahhh, the tropics.  We spend our time dreaming of going there, and miss it dearly when we have to leave.  Recreating the tropics at home can, at the very least, make us feel a bit better about coming home from vacation.

Start with your walls.  Paint them a deep,ocean blue.  If you want a two toned room, paint two walls palm tree green and two walls ocean blue.  Mix it up a little, because a beach room is all about bold colors.

Your floor is one of the places that you can really go wild.  Try out an area rug or three in a tropical theme.  The Zuma Beach area rug, Aloha Shirts, or Aloha area rugs would all work great in a beach room.  If you like surfboards, jazz up the floor with a giant surf board that will have you feeling as though you are riding the waves every day.

Hawaiian lamps can be created by using lamp wiring and a tiki torch.  Simply string the wiring through the torch and add a large yellow lightbulb.

Accessories are where you really bring in the feel of the tropics. Add some patio lanterns along your wall or on top of your curtains.  Frame some large photos of Hawaiian flowers and place them on one wall.  If you have one, hang a surf board along another wall.

Creating a beach room is a fun way to bring the tropics home with you.
