Coastal Christmas~ Day 6 of Christmas Decorating Marathon~Coastal Decor!

Todays Christmas Decorating Ideas post is a "Coastal Christmas!"

When choosing items to decorate with, stick with the basics.  Shells, pearls, sea glass, ropes, lights houses, sand and natural elements are perfect to create your Coastal Christmas!

Take a look at this unique garland around the front door!  It is filled with rope, natural fibered netting and sea shells! 

These wreaths look great!  Just a few shells and you are good to go!

Love this one!  It has a lot more greenery than the others and it is a bit more simple.  Shells, greenery and few sprigs of blue from the floral department set the tone for a Coastal Christmas. 

Very classy!

This Christmas tree is very monochromatic.  Whites, grays and silvers create a subtle festive feeling.  Notice the shells stacked at the bottom of the tree as a filler!

This is a great way to add some color to your coastal decor.  Aqua blue, gold and white is a gorgeous combination!  The starfish add just enough to create the "Coastal" effect.

If you are looking for DIY ornaments, simply purchase shells from your local craft store and adorn them with fine glitter. 

This one is a bit more on the fun side!  Lighthouses, sailboats and lanterns are a great way to add a coastal or nautical theme to your Christmas decor! Use bright reds, whites and blue not only on your tree but add pillows and throws to help create more color to your room.

Once again you see the aqua blue infused into the decor.  The garland is 2 simple ropes with some greenery pinned the corners. 

Shells, shells everywhere!  In vases, on the mantle and even attached to your stockings! Fill the bottom part of your vases with sand and layer with shells and sea glass!

This is such a great idea!  Visit your local craft store and pick up some paper mache letters and shells.  Paint your letters with a soft white paint and simply glue your shells to the letters!  SO EASY and looks so good!

This is unique idea!  Add miniature "coastal" items to your mantle!

These are adorable!  The shell lights are from Oceanstyles.com.  They have several great decor items to help you add pizazz to your holiday decorating!

This is stunning!  Such a simple way to add coastal beauty to your decor.  You could keep this one all year long!  Just remove the greenery and soft white lights.

I love these gray, red and white coastal themed items! 

The coral designs are vibrant yet classy.
