Coastal Christmas
Posted by Kelly Akers on
The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than by bringing a touch of coastal charm to your Christmas home decor? While many associate Christmas with snow-covered landscapes and traditional red and green color schemes, coastal Christmas decor offers a unique and refreshing take on the festivities. Infuse your home with the spirit of the sea while maintaining the magic of the season.
Seaside Color Palette: Embrace the soothing hues of the coast by incorporating a soft and serene color palette. Opt for shades of ocean blues, sandy beiges, and crisp whites to create a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of a day at the beach. These colors can be seamlessly integrated into your Christmas tree ornaments, stockings, and other decorative elements.
Nautical Ornaments: Transform your Christmas tree into a coastal masterpiece by adorning it with nautical-themed ornaments. Think crabs and starfish. Handpainting and blown glass elevate any presentation. You can even add a touch of sparkle with glittering sea glass toned ornaments. This not only adds a festive feel but also brings the beauty of the ocean indoors.
Sand and Sea Centerpieces: Create stunning table centerpieces that evoke the essence of the beach. Fill glass vases with layers of sand and seashells, frosted eucalyptus and LED branches within for an added glow.
Coastal Linens and Textiles: Update table linens with coastal-themed fabrics. Look for subtle patterns in soft tones. If you love Maryland crabs, add a christmasy crustacean to your kitchen or save it as an easy gift. Mixing and matching these textiles throughout your living space will tie the coastal theme together, creating a cohesive and inviting holiday atmosphere.
This holiday season, don't be afraid to break from tradition and infuse your home with the relaxed and joyful spirit of coastal Christmas decor. Whether you're miles away from the nearest beach or fortunate enough to have the sea at your doorstep, these ideas will help you create a festive and unique holiday haven that celebrates the magic of Christmas with a touch of coastal charm. So, gather your seashells, unpack your ornaments, and get ready to make this Christmas a coastal celebration to remember!
