Upcycling Ideas for Beach Home Decor and Coastal Crafts

Upcycling Ideas for Beach Home Decor and Coastal Crafts

Beach home decor or coastal decor, whether it be for a lake or an ocean, is near and dear to my heart, despite the fact that I am currently landlocked. I just LOVE the color palettes associated with it; the soothing combination of blues, greens, neutrals, and white. Even though I don’t have much nautical decor in my home, I love it just the same, as well. And there are SO many upcycling ideas for beach theme decor, that I decided to gather a few of them to share with you.

I, myself, am no stranger to upcycling projects and thrifted decor ideas that have a coastal theme! Such as this “Thrift the Look” challenge for beach cottage decor.

One of my favorite craft products creates a the look of sea glass on glass from your recycling bin or the thrift store. I used it on these candle holders that have a coastal farmhouse look:

And this large clam shell bowl that isn’t a shell at all!

And coastal decor can go in a more nautical direction, as well. Such as these sailboats that I made from weaving shuttles!

I just can’t seem to stop giving things I find at a thrift store a beachy or coastal-inspired makeover, like this tray. Even though I don’t live ANYWHERE near the coast!

    OK – which one is my favorite – uhmmm… All of them!!! Great ideas!! Now I REALLY want a beach cottage! Thanks for sharing at the Pleasures of the NW’s DIY party – and don’t forget to leave a comment – if you comment and your post is featured next week, it will also get pinned and tweeted!

  5. So much wonderful coastal inspiration! Thanks Sarah for including my stencilled table in your wonderful roundup. Will be pinning away to all my coastal boards.

  6. Every one of these examples for using nautical and beach in one’s decor deserves a higher status than crafty, I think, They all have a sophisticated and classic feel and were so thought-out and well executed.

  10. Love all these ideas, Sarah!!

  11. My favorite two are the clock, the bottles, and the painted fish. Our guest room is a beach theme. I made sure to get some pretty postcards before we left Hawaii and have them hanging up on the wall. you can see them here: http://skipthebag.blogspot.com/2016/06/diy-door-headboard.html Visiting from Dishing it and Digging it!

  12. That is an amazing roundup! The fish try turned artwork is a definitely a favorite!

  13. These are all so wonderful, I love them all. I have the abalone shell with the daisy on it from MST. When I saw her post on the shells I immediately messaged her to buy it! Aside from that, I think my favorite are the seaglass bottles.

  14. I love all of these! But that barn door! Swoon! PInning!

  15. The creativity here is amazing!

  16. Hi Sarah! Holy Moly — what a lot of cool ideas!! Love the blinged shells, surf board bench, and ski photo holder the best! Thanks for sharing! Catherine

  17. I;ve been thinking about doing a shelf with glass bottles in my bathroom. Michaels has them 70% off right now. Also doing a seashell shadow box.

  18. I love all of these. I especially like the glasses. They’re so pretty. I have some like that. I wonder if I shoudl DIY! Thanks for the inspiration!

  21. great roundup! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday! Visiting from http://www.twelveonmain.com. Have a great weekend!

  24. These are all great ideas, Sadie. I think my favorite is the salvaged barn door. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Merry Monday.

  25. I’ve always been a beach person, so I love anything and everything that is nautical themed. I love the nautical curtain rod picture that you shared. I think something like that would look great in bathroom. One unexplored option for nautical fanatics, is electronics. Most people would never even consider buying a blue speaker because it reminds them of the ocean, but I’m all about that life. Thanks for the ideas! I’ve been wanting to redecorate my bathroom anyway.

  26. I have always loved being close to the water, whether it’s a lake or a beach, so all of this nautical decor makes me so happy! I’ve been wanting to introduce more nautical themes into my home, so I’ll definitely keep some of these projects in mind. Thanks for sharing!

  27. Thank you. I got some good ideas from that.
