Give your home a coastal feel without spending a lot of money with these DIY coastal home style accents. From beach front art to coastal home accents, there is something for every room in the house.
You can easily find supplies like shells, rocks, and even driftwood for free depending on where you live. If you want to recreate some of these coastal accents, you will need to grab a variety of supplies to have on hand. Dollar Tree has many of the items you will need including shells, twine, glass vases and candle holders, burlap ribbon, and even sand. They even have glue guns and glue sticks, Mod Podge, paint and paint brushes, sand paper, tape and glue.
If you need wood, your local Lowe’s or Home Depot can supply that but you can also gather free pallets if you search Facebook Marketplace, your local “Buy Nothing” Facebook group and even Craigslist. Sometimes you will spot pallets on the side of the road and you can stop and ask the business owner if you can take them.
Many of these coastal home decor ideas also fit nicely into any Farmhouse style room you have in your home. It even has a name, “Coastal Farmhouse”!
