Are you wondering what every beach house needs? Look no further. Browse our list of the top 10 things to have at a beach house.
1. Slipcovered Furniture
No beach house is complete without a slipcovered chair or sofa. Slipcovered furniture is the perfect foundation for every beach house, whether it be a coastal cottage, a lakeside retreat, an expansive ocean front home or any abode dreaming of the sea. Slipcovered furniture is easy to keep looking fresh and clean, as well as exudes relaxed lifestyle.

Bold Stripes are an easy and fresh way to make any ocean front home feel beachy and casual. We love using stripes on ottomans, area rugs and throw pillows - they give any home a coastal feel.

5. Candle Holders
A must have in every beach home is the glow of a scented candle in a lantern or Hurricane...Place one or two on your dining table, on a console table or coffee table. It immediately elevates the ambience.
6. Driftwood Pieces
Each Piece of Driftwood is naturally and uniquely formed by nature. Weathered by sun, wind and surf, this sculptural material is made by artists into everything from furniture to lighting and wall hangings.

Nautical chandeliers and beach house hanging lights will bring drama and distinction to every room in your coastal style home.

Accents such as seashell decor are the finishing touches that can turn your home into a coastal paradise. The oyster mirror, the mussel shell dish and the white abalone lamp are the perfect example of beautiful seashell accents.
