try a mix. something like a boardwalk with ocean and sand but buildings behind it and just put it on a different walls. i know it sounds like a big project, but its definitely not impossible. good luck!

A beach theme would be VERY cute!

Wall Color: A soft blue would be very nice! Don't chose colors that you will easily get sick of (this goes for all themes). I know you want bright colors, but belive me, save the bright colors for your accesories NOT your walls!!

Bed: You might want to get a new bed spread that is decorated with tropical flowers- pbteen.com has some very cute stuff. Buy some bright, fun pillows. I'm sure you could find cute stuff anywhere you look, so they shouldn't have to be expensive.

Floor: If you're willing to spend the money buy a bright orange or yellow rug for your floor! Rugs can be expenisve depending on where you're shopping, so you may not want one.

Accessories: These don't need to be expensive! Go to a craft store and buy fake flowers. They come in strands or stems. You can weave them into your heaedboard or drape a strand over a mirror (thats what i did in my room!). Flowers can go anywhere!! I've also seen signs on pbteen.com that say things such as "bikini beach 1 mile". Those would be cute. I've also seen beautiful framed pictures of beaches in picture stores that you could hang up!

[[[If someone in your family has a surfboard that they don't use prop it up against a wall]]].(you asked about this)

Be creative! Your room should reflect your own expression!


If you need any more ideas PLEASE PLEASE srop one in my inbox because I LOVE answering these kinds of questions. I would love to help <3

beach theme- a blue color for your walls and maybe paint some palm trees in the corners of your room then on ur ceiling i think you should have a sun and some seaguls. You should have your bed sheets match that too and also get some lays too like the flowered ones and put them all around ur room along with some coconuts or maybe even some posters hot surfers.

new york theme- i'd get a black color for your walls but i'd have a professional come in and paint on some sky scrapers or something and on your ceiling i'd do stars you could put in a light dimmer and some little lights like one of those spinning dico balls or a black light and add a bean bag chair or a butterfly chair or something to make it look like a night in new york

My cousin had a room with a beach theme and it was so cute. She bought bamboo mats and used some sort of adehsive to paste them to her walls, it was really cute. She then glued shells to the bamboo mats so they were covered in pretty shells. Colors for a beach decor should make you think of the beach. Light and breezy with lots of blues and maybe even some yellows. If you prefer neutral tones think of the beige of beach sand and the color of shells. She also got a clear glass lamp and filled it with sand on the bottom and shells on top of that. It looked very nice. If you don't have a fishtank or you can't get one, you can get a small glass bowl and put a betta fish in there. The betta fish like having small areas like tiny glasses and even flower vases.

This website has a ton of other ideas:
