Beach Bedroom Decor Ideas and Mood Board: Lakeside Room

Our Graystone Beach coastal cottage makeover is underway and we are loving the changes!  So far we’ve completely transformed the Orchardview bedroom with coastal DIY decor ideas as well as the one and only bathroom in the small two bedroom bungalow. Next up: the Lakeside beach bedroom! 

Love this bright and cheery mood board for a beach bedroom! What a crisp and happy coastal cottage bedroom retreat this would be!

A beach bedroom has to be relaxing, so we’re sticking to the soothing cool blue, gray and white color palette along with some warm browns. But we want to kick it up a notch so we’ll be adding a pop of vibrant and energetic yellow to the overall beach themed bedroom.

Here is the before:

The walls will be given a fresh coat of white to match the first bedroom. You can check out our previous post with tips on how to paint over a wall with a glossy surface. All of the baseboards, window and door trim are solid wood stained with a natural oak finish and will get a fresh coat of white paint.

The keyword is budget. This is a cottage after all!  To save on cost (and well, because we love a good furniture upcycle), we’ll be keeping the existing furnishings: there’s an old solid wood headboard and matching dresser from the 80’s and an oak stained bedside table that are all getting made over.

I love the colours you guys have used in this mood board :). I absolutely love creating mood boards too. I recently created a pastel and gold inspired interior one :)
