Beach houses have something special, an essence of summer, eternal holidays, paradise... And its decoration hooks us with its charm and its delicate and fresh style. But the decoration in the 'beach cottage' style is not something only for the summer,  so that you can see that we can live in a holiday, cozy and stylish atmosphere all year round, today I want to give you some tips that we can put into practice in our homes and do it in a harmonious way, so that the beach cottage style is fully integrated with the predominant style of our house, and, in this way, get a home inspired by those popular summer houses typical of the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany... And the Nordic countries, which attract us so much.

Wood as a base element

If you look at the main common element of this type of house is the wooden structure and this type of housing usually follows the traditional 'Canadian' construction system, which is left uncovered and in the interiors, both in ceilings and walls in white, which gives it that fresh and summery air that is what attracts those of us who live indoors or in areas where it is It uses traditional construction.

Nautical colors and romantic aesthetics

Bottle greens, blues and whites are the predominant colours in the popular beach cottages, nautical style colours that evoke the outdoors, the sea, the mountains... And that we can combine with pastel tones (pink, white, beige) to provide a more romantic atmosphere.

Mix of styles: vintage, bohemian and ethnic elements

In summer houses we can give free rein to our sense of taste and we can take risks with different styles, combining pieces from antique dealers or flea markets and thus create special atmospheres thanks to details such as antique furniture, wicker lamps or chairs, ethnic print rugs, furniture finished in natural wood or Nordic inspiration... And contrasts, even opting for black in chairs, lamps or cushions, for example.

Vacation Details That Make the Difference

Those that let us know that, indeed, we are in a summer house, such as surfboards, ceiling fans, crochet hammocks or decorative objects that allude to the sea, such as miniature wooden boats, and other elements that remind us of the maritime world.
