Is there anything more effortlessly stylish than a room with a beachy, organic vibe? Designers often go the shabby chic route when interpreting this look, filling rooms with whitewashed furniture and overly feminine prints, but if you ask me, those rooms smell of mothballs when they should smell of crisp, salt air. Kick the wicker furniture to the curb and put a contemporary twist on coastal style with hip colors, bold prints, and clean lines. Fab ideas for achieving 21st century beach chic in any room? Mix textured furniture with white linens--I love the idea of pairing this sea grass bed with a white duvet cover. Look for rugs with big, bold patterns in unexpected colors (like orange!) that give your house the vibe of a sleek Miami boutique hotel. Accessorize with clear vases filled with shells and sea glass!

I think light colored linens really give a room a beachy feel. I use a combo of white, pastel blue, and seamist in my bedroom. I also have light carpet and furniture. My room is extremely tranquil and very relaxing. I found my bedding at Elegant Linens. They have a great selection of fashion bedding and even offer linen and organic sheets. If you've never slept on linen you should try it. You can check them out at http://www.elegantlinensc.com.
