Ah, Memorial Day is right around the corner and with it summer time.  For many that means heading out to enjoy the Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland beaches.   If you are one of the lucky ones, perhaps you have a home by the shore.  Here are some of the essentials for making your beach home your dream home.  Urban Furniture Outlet has been furnishing beach homes in the Delaware area for more than 20 years.

Colors

When planning to decorate your beach home, choose a color palette first.  Pastels are often associated with beach décor.  Don’t like pastels?  Stick to a cool neutral palette – take some photos of your favorite beach spots and draw your color inspiration from there – sea grass greens, cool sandy beige, drift wood for browns, soft yellow sunshine…ah, I can almost feel the sea breeze.

Dining

Now that you have chosen your color scheme, look for comfortable dining that allows room for you and your guests.   Most folks feel that casual dining suits them bests, cottage style is a popular look, like this dinette.   Many dinettes offer bench options, that may be fit your style of a more casual atmosphere.  Many find that a light wood finish works best for fitting their beach décor, however, a chocolate finish offset by light beige can look sharp as well.

Bedrooms

One of the most important things folks focus on when decorating their beach home is making sure there is enough spots for folks to sleep.  Nothing attracts visitors like a home at the shore.  Bunk beds with trundles are a popular choice, sleeping 3.  Daybeds, trundles, all are good options.  We carry a wide selection of quality mattresses at affordable prices as well.  Investing in a good mattress pad to protect your investment is always a good idea.  As for styles, again, many go with a light finish, or white bedroom furniture, but you can choose any that suits your color scheme.  The Ashley ‘Sanibel’ Bedroom Set offers a beautiful light finish.

Living Room

Think fabrics, pillows, and comfort.  Nothing better than spending a day out in the sun, then coming home and having a comfy sofa to relax on.  I love this set from Simmons, the ‘Avignon Driftwood’ Sofa & Loveseat – note how the colors work so beautifully together and it really gives you the beach retreat feel.  Colorful ottomans are a great way to add extra seating to a place and can easily be tucked against a wall to give more room when not being used.  You want think functional, but plan for having seating for as many guests as you think you’ll have regularly.  Don’t forget to think function when choosing your coffee table or occasional table set.  Glass top tables are easy to clean, there are also many tables that provide storage for throw blankets and toys.  Or perhaps an over-sized ottoman would work for extra seating and with a accent tray offer a place for glasses or remotes.

Home Accents

The beach is a fun spot to pick up accent pieces that will bring your look all together.  We can help with things like bar stools for counter seating, beautiful lamp choices, and accent pillows, throws, and accent rugs.  We have  the ‘Bed in a Box’ ottoman with a cot built inside which are a great way to hide extra bedding, as well as folding cot bed.
