Add Functionality and Style with Woven Storage Baskets
These natural, textured pieces provide practical storage and warmth to the space.
Use baskets made from rattan, seagrass, or jute to store blankets, extra pillows, or even magazines. Place them under your nightstand or beside a reading chair for a clutter-free and cozy look.
Blue Accent Chair
I love using blue in furniture, curtains, or pillows. It just adds the perfect pop of color, without overwhelming a space.
Adding blue chair to a sitting area of a room can instantly create that coastal vibe.
If you’re feeling bold, go for a deeper navy shade, or stick with a lighter blue for a more subtle look.
Cozy Up Under a Navy Quilt
A navy cotton linen-blend quilt is a must-have for achieving that quintessential coastal vibe.
Pair your quilt with crisp, white cotton or linen sheets for a classic look that works in any scenario.
Subtle Floral Bedding
Incorporate bedding with delicate floral patterns to bring a touch of femininity and charm to the space while staying true to the coastal theme.
Mix floral bedding with solid-colored throws or accent pillows to have the perfect balance between pattern and simplicity.
Navy Accent Wall
A deep blue paint color creates a stunning backdrop that makes white furniture and accessories pop. This high-impact idea is perfect for defining a focal point in the room. Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy is one of my favorite navy paint colors.
Pro tip: If you’re hesitant to commit to paint, try peel-and-stick grasscloth wallpaper in a deep navy hue for an easy solution.
Chinoiserie-Style Bedding
Marrying grandmillennial and modern, there is nothing quite like chinoiserie. It is timeless and can easily work if your style leans more vintage coastal.
Layer Blue and White Textiles
Create a sense of depth and coziness by layering different blue and white bedding textiles. Combine white cotton or linen sheets, duvet covers, fluffy quilts, and textured pillows in varying shades of blue and crisp white tones.
You can even experiment with patterns such as stripes or block prints to add visual interest.
Subtle Wallpaper
I’m a sucker for a really good coastal wallpaper. I just think it is a fairly simple way to mix things up if you’re not interested in any DIY wall moulding projects.
There are so many great options for temporary peel and stick wallpaper or more of the traditional pasted type and it would make a huge impact on the room.
Whitewashed Wood Nightstand
The distressed finish of whitewashed wood is reminiscent of the laid-back charm of weathered driftwood, perfectly tying in with the coastal aesthetic!
Coastal-Inspired Artwork Over the Bed
Still looking for more blue & white bedroom ideas? No coastal bedroom is complete without a piece of artwork above the bed. Choose art that reflects coastal elements, such as serene seascapes or abstract ocean prints. This final touch adds personality and pulls the entire look together.
By incorporating these tips, you can create a blue and white bedroom that’s equal parts stylish, functional and cozy!
