Staying in a well -appointed luxury home may inspire you to give your primary residence a beach inspired makeover when you return home. You can embrace the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast without overloading your home with boats, fish, and flamingos. “Classically coastal†style is easy to achieve if you focus on the colors, textures, and essence of beach living. Many of the vacation homes in Destin and along 30-A have been painted in calming, neutral colors, like  cream, mocha, sage green, and butter yellow, providing both a richness and depth to your room while highlighting the natural light and airiness of beach living.  Blue and white stripes are a classic look for beach houses, but don’t be afraid to choose bold accents colors, like red, tangerine, turquoise, and yellow for pillows, rugs, lamps, and blankets. Upgrade your bathroom linens and towels, opting for creams or khaki colors, as opposed to a stark white. Take your inspiration from your favorite spa, and add candles, shells, and pretty bottles. Upholster you furniture in easy to clean fabrics and use throw rugs as accents instead of carpeting. This helps you keep your living space cleaner, even without the benefit of daily or weekly housekeeping. If your home has outdoor living spaces, like decks, verandas, or patios, create a casual space for entertaining and relaxing by supplying chaise lounges, Adirondack chairs, and a small dining table and chairs. If you can add some high quality speakers, you’re ready to hosts a party. Five Star Beach Properties works with the area’s most talented designers to create a luxurious and inviting home for your vacation, and we encourage you to find inspiration in all of our properties. You Might Also Like: Summer Celebrity Spottings Along 30-A Win a 5 Night Dream Vacation Facebook Giveaway!
