Hi,
Yeah wow, you're on the road, for a great beach theme room.

Some other great ideas are:

-Wicker baskets, with blue or white lining inside. or small wicker trays with large and small sea shells.

-bright white trim, like white molding around the ceiling, and white molding around your doors, bright white though.

- you may not want too, but will look good, is painting your nightstand (s) and other furniature, white, the white painted look is in when it comes to beach house apeal, it's very common in virgina, and other coastal homes.

-a fun additive, is palm tree accents, although you have to like that rustic feeling, you can go with the fake or real fern trees, or dressor top plants, it will feel more tropical, and make the room feel cool and airy.

- finding a theme is important, you can go with a dolphin theme, a sailor theme, a ocean submarine theme, a tropical island theme, or just oceanic colors.

-Wood blinds, white or a matching brown. that cordinates with your blanket, wood blinds will accent the blue, and bring out a beach theme. You can also buy mini fish bowls, and fill them with shells, or beach sand, and a few smaller shells.

- bringing in a small aqaurium, will definantly give the final blow for a watery theme. Not only will a nice running water sound relax you in your sleep, the beauty of the fish alone is a relaxing additive.

- if you want to go extreme beach theme, Get some really big sand dollars, and star fish, and mount them on your wall, it's easy to mount with a simple small nail, or a push pin, stagard them a nice pattern above windows, door frames, or above your bed... or if you want purchas a netting, and have them attatched to that, to accent a corner.

There are fun lightings you can get at spencers or a fun shop, that will throw watery light effects onto your ceiling, much like an aqaurium.

also, even walmart, or a target you can get water fountains, that drip down water, with a few decorative rocks, or shells, it can really be fun, alot of craft stores, have Ocean themed crafts, and art accents, that you can find a home for.

Latterns, or light house memorbila, can be old fashion, try to avoid those.

avoid fishy borders in the room, avoid, cheap looking plastic shells, or wall decor, try to stay with real items.

Themes are great if you do not cross overboard (sorry) Start with google, check out picture searches comparable to seaside decor subject and seem at vacation properties and boutique accommodations for proposal. Paint is affordable. I might pick an overly faded aquamarine because the historical past color and do white woodwork. Gold or sunny yellow and army blue might make well accents and also you might convey in a seaside suppose with stripy material in Navy and white. Try sensible, floaty, white drapes and a stripy blind for a seaside suppose. A sprint of cherry purple might make it zing. Revamp historical furnishings via portray it white or faded gray with a aqua wash to seem elderly or weathered. Keep linens sensible, a army mattress throw need not rate a lot and is sensible.

Above all have amusing.
