cottageandbungalow Looking to bring a little beach-inspired decor into your home this fall? No matter if you actually live at the beach or simply dream of it every day (ahem, guilty), beach decor tends to lighten and brighten any mood or space. Here’s a fun list of DIY decorations that you might want to try in making your home as if there is no line between the land and the sea.
DIY Creative Beach Decor Ideas
Here are a few DIY ideas to inspire some fresh beach decor in your home, with a few alternatives if you’re not feeling so crafty!
1. Seashell Mirror
Is there anything more beachy than seashells? A lovely way to display these beautiful creations of nature is by adding them to a mirror. You will certainly add a unique and seaworthy look to your home. You simply need to collect seashells in a variety of shapes and sizes and affix them to the mirror of your choice. You’ll want to be sure there’s ample space to glue the shells, so choosing a wide-rimmed mirror is best. Get the tutorial for the above mirror from HGTV here.

2. Seaglass Candle Jar
A really lovely idea is to create some not-so-ordinary candles. You can use this in your own home or as a hostess gift at your next dinner party. It’s quite simple, too. Collect sea glass on your next trip to the shore, use a mason jar, or any other that’s your preferred shape and size, add a small candle then fill in the areas around it with your collection. No glue or tools required! Get the instructions for the above craft from Lovely Greens, here.

There’s just something about decor that pays homage to a simpler time in life, to bring a smile to someone’s face, like this idea from BHG. Rather than wearing vintage clothing… frame it! What a fun piece for the bathroom, swim area or anywhere else you’d like to add a vintage flair. Get more ideas for DIY wall art here.
