Coastal coziness…with him in mind.

It’s very easy to make a beach bedroom with a dominant white theme and a layering of soft blue accents as they have above.  They look gorgeous, and they’re not very expensive to achieve (see upcoming post…).

But what about him?  If you’re sharing this lovely coastal retreat with someone who’d like a look that’s a little less girly …below are some images to inspire…

Love this look!  And no boy could complain about it being girly.  Painted panelling on the walls immediately beachifies a room.  The soft tones of grey and wheat create a relaxed feel, while the bands of black on the bed ground the room, giving it real substance.

This is such a fun look.  Everything about it allows you to be messy..and still look gorgeous.   From the ettamogah pub style four poster, to the layers of linen and the cool mix of striped rugs on the floor, this look is ace.

This is a gorgeous bedroom…and when you’re making your dream bedroom by the sea, generally oars over the bed help in the negotiations!

The mix here of the beautiful woven pieces and the bold nautical striped rug is great.  Bright, happy and relaxed..this is what a beach bedroom is all about.

My favorite…Love the duck egg blue walls against the limed panelling.

Whilst this is still a predominantly white room, the sturdy wooden bed, bedside table and artwork above the bed ensures it’s not too feminine.

I had to include this image as it totally fits the brief of a beach bedroom for a guy.  But I don’t like it…and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like the guy who sleeps there.
