Embrace your love for the sea and celebrate coastal living by decorating your Oceanside, CA apartment with beach-inspired holiday decor. Festive seashore accents provide a fresh personality to your home and will welcome the holidays with beautiful colors, one-of-a-kind accents and a touch of whimsy. Here are some beach-inspired holiday decor ideas to try.

Sandy Beauty

Cover the bottom of one or multiple glass bowls or mason jars with sand. Layer different sized seashells on top of the sand. Scatter some silver and blue ball ornaments inside the bowls. Go one step further and wrap burlap ribbon around the bowls and tie in a bow. Display the bowls together on the mantle or use it as a centerpiece.

Beach Inspired Wreath 

Welcome guests with a wreath dressed for the beach. Paint a grapevine wreath or pine wreath white and adorn it with faux starfish, wood anchors, silver ornaments and a beautiful bow. Instead of a wreath, create a door hanging out of driftwood that is glued together in the shape of a starfish for a simplistic nod to the shore.

Seaside Chic Christmas Tree

Adorn a pine tree with chic, earthy seaside style. Decorate the tree with raffia ornaments, grapevine ornaments, burlap bows, and other natural accents. Wrap a rope garland and twinkly white lights around the entire tree. Top the tree with an oversized star. Wrap presents in brown paper and white bows for an additional natural touch.

Mantle Magic

Design a magical holiday at the beach mantle seascape. Display a large framed photo of your family on the beach in the center (or other beach-inspired artwork), and on each side, display multiple white and blue candles in white candle holders, ocean blue and silver ribbon, snow-tipped garland, mini white lights and silver ball ornaments throughout. 

Light The Way

Simply decorate everything in your home with white string lights. Hang from doorways, wrap around stairway banisters and throughout window treatments for a minimalist look.
