    Furnish a beach house with wicker furniture. The cushions of the wicker furniture can be covered with beach-inspired fabrics such as palm trees, sea shells or tropical flowers.

    Decorate with a nautical theme. Use throw pillows that display light houses. Hang a ship's wheel on the wall for an interesting display. Paint the room with shades of blue.

    Set the dining room table with a beach theme for a party. Place sand on a tray and add sea shells around the edges. Find an old bottle and place a note inside to create a message in a bottle. Put this in the center of the tray. Use blue and white table linens for a fresh clean look.
