Coastal Holiday Decorating Ideas of All Time
At the beach, we deck the halls in seaside style: with oyster shell wreaths, pink flamingo ornaments, and nautical rope garlands. See our favorite ways to get in the spirit by the shore.
1. Impress Guests
In the guest bedroom of this tiny Maine cottage, the Christmas spirit is alive with mini wreaths hung with seaglass-blue ribbon, a tiny bedside tree, and a handmade sea star and shell rope garland hung from the antique bed.
2. Add Cozy Elements
A former customs house on the Chesapeake Bay gets a holiday spin, thanks to pops of bright red in the plaid throw and pillows and the family’s nutcracker collection displayed in the window.
3. Deck the Windows
Wreaths aren't just for the front door. This Connecticut family adorned their living room windows with small rings of greenery hung with metallic ribbon. They also brought in nautical pillows in punchy red to bring further holiday cheer to the space.
4. Have a White Christmas
A breakfast area gets a holiday finish with shell wreaths hung with pale blue ribbon.
5. Trim the Table
Mint is a fresh spin on holiday green and is perfect for celebrating at the coast. Keep the palette shore-inspired with a raffia runner, red stripes, and wine jugs filled with tropical leaves for an easy centerpiece.
6. Add a Touch of Tropical
Shades of sea foam green and pink mix for a tropical tree. Flamingo ornaments add a playful vibe, and a ribbon topper is an easy and pretty finish.
7. Deck the Door
Made with palm leaves, Israeli ruscus, and oranges, this pretty tropical wreath is a bright touch for a holiday door, especially one in a pretty shade like this one. No time to put together a hand-made wreath?
8. Show Off Your Tree
Position your tree in a spot where it can be admired indoors and out. If the weather isn’t too chilly, you can take your holiday party outside and still maintain a festive atmosphere.
9. Get Playful
Let the kids decorate their own space—a white tree becomes the perfect place for funky, homemade ornaments, and knitted sea-themed stockings feel right at home.
10. Raise the Bar
A built-in cupboard opens to reveal a lively geometric print-backed bar that’s decked with a simple boxwood garland and a wreath of iridescent abalone shells.
11. Take Decor Outdoors
A square boxwood wreath brings holiday cheer to an outdoor seating area. Bistro lights also add ambiance and can be left up all year long for that festive feeling.
12. Bring in the Red
A simple tartan runner and a trio of poinsettias placed in mercury glass vases bring a pop of classic holiday color to this Connecticut dining room.
13. Turn a New Leaf
Add a festive spin to houseplants. This fiddle leaf fig tree gets a holiday makeover with just a few silver ornaments. Pretty boxwood wreaths hung with light blue ribbon echo the green theme.
14. Mix Traditional & Tropical
A boxwood garland and beautiful aqua ribbon are the perfect way to liven up a staircase for Christmas.
15. Have Fun with Bedding
Give little holiday visitors a festive treat with striped bedding in Christmas colors and a cute stocking garland.
