Wallpaper Magic
One can never go wrong with wallpapers to cover interior walls, especially when you want to create an accent feature to highlight this space.
When you’re exploring ideas to create a coastal-inspired bedroom, it would be great to focus on wallpapers that instantly transport your mind to a lovely little beach home – shades of blue & green, palm trees, corals, and seashells. The possibilities are endless.
Wallpapers are now available in so many colors, patterns, and textures so you’re bound to find one that suits your taste.
It’s Not Always About The Blues
While blue may seem like the go-to when picturing a coastal-themed bedroom, a trending alternative would be a contemporary neutral bedroom with just the right hints of muted green and gray to break the monotony.
This modern coastal bedroom idea works perfectly for those who wish to bring the charming beach resort atmosphere into their homes without having to go all out to emphasize the theme. The neutral color scheme also helps if you’re looking to keep the option of upgrading the room open.
Go All Out With Blue Walls
The natural selection for a coastal master bedroom brings in the beautiful energy of the ocean and clear skies. Blue is such a soothing color that it is most often suggested for bedrooms owing to the serene vibe it creates.
Wood furniture is the best pairing for when you have blue walls and if you’re lucky enough to find a carved set as lovely as this, don’t hesitate to dive in! Don’t forget to balance out the color scheme with small accents of white to really bring your blue slice of heaven together.

The gorgeous table lamp made from shells and the framed starfish bring a magical touch to the whole space and I hope this inspires you to zhuzh up your own tables.
Every Bedroom Needs Some Plants
I will never stop emphasizing the addition of some (more) fresh greens in your bedrooms. And when you’re looking for modern coastal bedroom ideas, do make sure to keep this one at the top of your list.
Palms, ferns, and the tall, lush umbrella tree are some of the more commonly found coastal plants. The lush green of indoor plants matches perfectly with the beachy atmosphere created by the calming coastal colors.
Nautical Wall Mirrors
Mirrors are some of my favorite interior décor items and they bring a lot of brightness and shine to a space if positioned right. Decorating with mirrors when you have a coastal style in your bedroom calls for something nautical themed and this wonderful piece from Safavieh home décor goes perfectly with the rest of your interiors.
Place the mirror facing a window or a light source to capture your perfect mirror selfies!
Some Subtle Accents
An accent feature in a bedroom doesn’t necessarily have to span the width of an entire wall. In this gorgeous blue coastal-style bedroom, wooden paneling has been used to break the monotony of the light teal interiors.
The weathered texture of the paneling works perfectly as a part of your coastal chic bedroom.
Board & Batten
A siding and paneling design known as board and batten employs thin strips of wood over the seams of large boards to create a layered, geometric appearance.
This modern coastal bedroom idea by @dreah.home is simply breathtaking. The wall panels are in the perfect shade of blue which would go well with whites, creams, and greys to create an absolute summer dream for all.
Coastal Greens
The color green is a perfect shade for when you’re looking to create colorful coastal style bedrooms but also don’t want to stick to the traditional blue and white color palette.
Calming sea green combined with woven furnishings, light wood décor, and gray accents is all you will need for a truly beachy paradise within your own home.
Distressed Wood Furnishings
The beauty of distressed wood lies in the weathered and old appearance that gives it a wonderful texture as well as a rustic appeal. This furnishing is especially popular among coastal decorating ideas as it gives the room a sea-worn-like appearance that most look for.
This particular bedroom by @reneegaddisinteriors uses distressed furniture items so perfectly. I am absolutely in love with the light blue tinge of the headboard which is mesmerizing for this interior aesthetic, along with that wooden cabinet: it’s such a dream!
Distressed wood also makes it easier to bring in multiple colors into your space as it doesn’t seem to clash with the rest of the color palette, unlike the darker or lighter shades of wood.
Bunk Mates
Looking for a perfect room for your little sailor boys? Well here’s a bunk bed I’m sure you’ll love!
Another perfect distressed wood in a shade of blue that is sure to grab everyone’s attention. These bunk beds are easy to pair with neutrals such as gray and white. I hope you have some space on your list to add some cute striped bedspreads to your coastal bedroom decorating ideas as well!
Dried Pampas And Palms
The use of pampas grass in the home, with its wheat-toned plumes, creates a dreamy, rustic aesthetic wherever you plant it. The lovely grass gives any place a peaceful feeling by adding a soft, fluffy texture that pulls the outside in. It’s an easy way to bring in the boho touch to your bedroom.
Dried palm leaves are another alternative if you’re looking for neutral-toned coastal wall décor. These can be simply placed within ceramic vases or you could go the extra mile and search for a wall piece to use as a focal décor item above your bed.
The Beauty Of Four Poster Beds
Here’s a modern coastal bedroom idea that is sure to make your room truly feel like a vacation home – sheer drapes.
A four-poster bed may seem a little old-fashioned but when you bring in some lovely sheer drapes, your bed can be instantly transformed into the beachy space of your dreams. Tie your drapes on all four sides of your bed, or you could simply lay them across the top to create a more casual and comfy appeal. The sheer material also brings in plenty of filtered natural light that is sure to delight you every morning.
Woven Light Fixtures
A classic addition to any coastal-style bedroom design would be light fixtures made with woven materials. These would be flawless and perfect for when you’re creating a beachy atmosphere within your rooms.
The perfect browns of the woven lights complement the typical coastal decorating colors such as blues, whites, and creams.
Under The Sea
Hunting for the perfect modern coastal bedroom ideas through a myriad of options led me to this wall art by @cecebowman, made for some beach cottages.
This is the perfect DIY activity for those looking to bring in some coastal room designs within the ideal budget. Your undersea mural can be made in color schemes of your choice so don’t forget to take plenty of inspiration from the sea to incorporate your favorite beachside elements onto your walls.
Tropical Ceiling Fans

They are available in many shades of browns, with and without additional light fixtures. These ceiling fans are truly an aesthetic essential as well as a fancy modern coastal bedroom décor idea for your beachy paradise.
Rattan Headboards Can Help!
Rattan headboards are perfect for modern coastal bedroom ideas as they are made from natural materials and come in such lovely shades of brown. They instantly transport your mind and soul to the warm sandy beaches.
They come in unique patterns and every headboard made by local weavers will be just as unique as you are. Rattan is also quite a strong material when weaved right and due to the ribbed patterns in the fibers’, you will have a lovely color tone throughout your piece, just as this sage green bedroom has.
Vintage Blues
This classic tiffany blue bedside table is a perfect addition to your coastal-themed bedroom and brightens up the neutral themes in your space without having to introduce multiple colors.
The unit was actually a little DIY project by @town.coast.home and I know for a fact that it could inspire you in many ways to transform an old wooden unit and give it a fresh new life.
Have You Heard Of Manau?
Manau is a fiber that is slightly denser than rattan which makes it more suitable for creating larger furniture pieces such as beds, stools, and low-seated chairs.
This particular piece by @slate.custom has been beautifully crafted by local artisans.
The sandy neutral tone of the bed makes it the perfect addition to your coastal-inspired bedroom as it blends in seamlessly with the rest of the typical coastal color schemes.
