Whether you are planning on a full home renovation, kitchen update, or outdoor project;  you'll never have to leave the beach again. These "5 design tips will bring you right back to the ocean all year long. ### 1. Coastal Prints A picture is worth a thousand words, so let us start the conversation with a beautiful oceanfront wall hanging. Coastal-themed pictures are popularly found at your local home décor stores or online shops. Try picking up a special print from a local artist and enjoy the view every day.   ### 2. Blue Accents Teal, turquoise, navy... They all bring me to a place where I start to dream about the ocean. Try incorporating a coastal vibe by introducing shades of blue into the home. Cool tones are a perfect accent to any current home décor and will send the message of the ocean without seeing sand.  ![blue_white_transitional_maple_kitchen_cabinets](https://info.liccinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blue_white_transitional_maple_kitchen_cabinets.jpg?width=700&name=blue_white_transitional_maple_kitchen_cabinets.jpg) Take a look at our blog, "[2020 Kitchen Trends](https://info.liccinc.com/blog/2020-kitchen-trends)" to see how blue kitchen cabinets can add a bold but beachfront feel to your home's kitchen. ### 3. Outdoor Living Do time to fly to a sandy vacation spot? Just step outside your own door to create an outdoor living space that will bring the breeze to you. All-season rooms or screened porches offer the option to enjoy your own yard without overheating on a beautiful summer day. ![54](https://info.liccinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/54.jpg?width=1508&name=54.jpg) LICC, Inc. President,  John Petsco designed this Remsenburg, New York home with the idea to extend outdoor living.  The addition of motorized glass side panels creates a spacious patio vibe allowing the smell of the salty sea air all year long. The look is finished off with the appropriately named [TIMBERTECH EDGE® Premier Collection decking in "Maritime Gray"](https://www.timbertech.com/products/decking/).

Natural Design Elements ![facc7a39b30146d389e758969b18c5c5](https://info.liccinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/facc7a39b30146d389e758969b18c5c5.jpg?width=302&name=facc7a39b30146d389e758969b18c5c5.jpg)Natural materials such as ship-lap or rope can complete a coastal look. The addition of the maritime elements adds a subtle outdoor look with textures to both walls and furniture. I really love how this[HGTV](https://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/design-101/coastal-inspired-design-pictures)living room used roped ottomans. The rope is rustic but when incorporated with a clean linen pallet the style says, elegant.  Woven wall art has been a popular trend, both rope and branches make for beautiful accents in all rooms of the house. I particularly like the way the natural shades pop off a bold wall color maybe a navy or a green.  I recently started following [Rope Decor.Ca ](https://www.pinterest.ca/ropeshopdotca/rope-decor/?autologin=true)  they have great DIY pins incorporating rope that you can find directions on their when site if you feel crafty. *Source: HGTV* ### 5. Lantern Lighting  Changing interior or exterior lighting can make a big difference. Flush mount fixtures like the ones found on [HOUZZ,](https://www.houzz.com/products/coastal/outdoor-flush-mounts) reminds me of lighting from an old ship cabin and would be the perfect coastal accent to an entryway or hall ceiling and wall.   ![LICC Cost Guide Graphic](https://info.liccinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Foundation%20Images/Foundation%20Elements/LICC%20Cost%20Guide%20Graphic.png?width=600&height=385&name=LICC%20Cost%20Guide%20Graphic.png) ## You Can Afford That Remodel: Here's How Wondering what your remodel might really cost?
