Coastal Artistry: Tie the Look Together
Every coastal retreat deserves a touch of artistry that captures the essence of the sea. If your budget allows, consider supporting local artists from your favourite coastal town - they often infuse their creations with the very spirit of the shore. However, if you're sailing on a budget, fear not. The vast seas of the internet, Etsy, BlueThumb, and similar platforms are teeming with budget-friendly options.
Look for motifs that resonate with coastal living - waves, seashells, or perhaps a quaint beachside town. Look for prints and accessories that are more than just decor; we’re looking for the finishing strokes that tie your coastal escape together, turning your bedroom into a canvas of seaside serenity.
