A Surf Inspired Interior

Imagine stepping into your home and instantly feeling the calm breeze of the ocean, the soft sound of waves crashing, and the warm, sun-kissed vibe of a beach retreat. You don’t have to live on the coast to capture that laid-back, surf-inspired aesthetic. With a few thoughtful touches, you can create a space that feels like an endless vacation, no matter where you live.

Key things to keep in mind

Layering Textures for Relaxed Comfort

Start with a foundation of natural, textured materials that evoke the beach without being overly literal. Think jute rugs, linen throw blankets, and woven baskets. These earthy elements immediately bring warmth and texture into the space while keeping it light and breezy. Layer a cozy throw over a soft sofa or drape it across your bed—perfect for lounging after a day of pretending you’ve just come back from the surf. Nothing should be too precious and everything is meant to be used. It’s that “nothing is off limits” attitude that make surf shacks so comfortable and inviting.

Embrace The Colors

The best part of a beachy home? The colors. Soft neutrals like sandy beige, creamy whites, and subtle grays will ground your space in calm serenity. Add pops of sea-inspired blues, minty greens, or sun-faded coral to capture that sea breeze energy. Even a splash of warm terracotta or sunburnt orange can help recreate those golden sunset tones.

Bring the Outdoors In with Natural Accessories and decor

A surf-inspired home should have decor that give off a sense of adventure, so think about introducing coastal touches. Display surfboards—whether vintage or modern—on the wall. Incorporate plenty of plants, organic feel of the beach. You can’t go wrong with succulents and palms they can create an inviting environment and add some greenery to your space.
