Use Your Bed as the Focal Point!
Choosing a focal point that's the central theme of your bedroom decor is easy. The bed is a natural focal point in any bedroom, so unless you have a breathtaking view to center the room around, just use beautiful beach themed bedding that you love to set a coastal theme in your bedroom. This is a simple and inexpensive way to change the look of your bedroom in the few minutes that it takes to make the bed! Then add accessories to complete the look.

Think Comfort!
It's easy to get carried away with looks and forget to consider the comfort of your room. Always be practical when you're placing furniture. Remember to fit in storage options that are easy to use on a daily basis. And be sure to buy bed linens that are comfortable, durable, and washable. Dean Miller machine washable beach bedding sets are a great option when you're looking for bed linens that are comfortable, easy to clean, and look perfect with your beach style decor!

Make it Personal!
What will really make your bedroom feel like your own is adding some of your own personality into the decor of your bedroom. You could display your personal seashell collection, photos of your family or your favorite beach vacation spots, or maybe some sentimental vintage items. Also this about using a beach rug, surf signs, or unique throw pillows and window treatments. Any of these unique little details will be just the thing that will make your beach style bedroom feel like your very own beach retreat!

What Exactly is a Duvet Cover?

A duvet cover works basically like a giant pillowcase for your comforter. If you're looking to redecorate with beach bedding, this is a quick and easy way to give your bedroom a new look and still use the comforter you already have. Duvet covers usually have a zipper or button enclosure at the top or bottom. A cover with a bottom end enclosure may be preferable for comfort since you won't have to sleep with buttons against you all night. A well made duvet cover should keep your comforter in place, but if you want to be really certain you can always use padded comforter clips as well to make sure the comforter will stay put inside the duvet cover.

If you're going for a coastal decor but don't want to spend a lot of money or time, a duvet cover can give you an easy and cost effective way to give your bedroom a new look!

Hibiscus Curtains by Dean Miller

Are you decorating your beach house? Or maybe you just want to make your home feel like a beach house. Be sure to think about how to dress your windows. Adding curtains or window valances that match your decor is a fast and easy way to make a big visual impact on your room. Window valances are great if you want to add to your room décor without covering the entire window. With full length curtains, you have options. Close them for privacy or keep them tied back for a lighter and more open look. These hibiscus print windows would add to your beach themed home in most any room in the house. The hula girl ones are adorable for a girl’s bedroom or playroom. These are both available online from Dean Miller. There are many places to shop for curtains, but if you’re looking for something really unique and well made, DeanMillerPrints.com is a great place to look.

Depending on the décor in your home, you could potentially use raffia in any type of room. Whatever you end up choosing, remember that you’ll be looking at it every time you walk into your home so go ahead and find something that you love!
