Think of the colors of the ocean. At first glance it might seem that your beach living room furniture has to be blue. Depending on your beach, there might not even be blue in the water. The ocean has many shades of aqua, green & even brown in it. Don't limit yourself to just a cheery bright blue that will be dated in a few years.

Look for worn woods. If your beach living room furniture has any wood detailing, it should look weathered. Think of how a patio chair looks after it's been left outside. This is a fantastic way to refinish your existing pieces because they don't have to be perfect. Just make sure that they are smooth enough that they won't give anyone splinters.
