Surfs up!

How could I incorporate sand with the beach theme I'm planning for my bedroom?

Generally sand is something I'd suggest you clean from your floor as opposed to using it for decorating, but if you want to put it in a vase to admire and remind you of days spent on the surf, I'd take three large vases in varying sizes and styles. Buy a few square vases and a cylinder. Layer each with sand and shells or fill up with sand and add a candle to the center. Keep in mind that there is different types of sand and they will look different in vases.

If you are having a beach theme in your room, there are a ton of other great ideas for stuff you can add. Add a large surfboard to your floor by choosing this area rug for a 'Surf's Up' kind of feel or this one if you feel like Riding the Wave right on your floor.

You can hang signs from the beach such as "No surfing" or "Lifeguard on duty" as decor for your room as well.

A beach room is a fun room, so use your imagination!
