What Are The Best Coastal Christmas Decorations Of The Year?
First and foremost, what are the best forms of beach house Christmas decor? Of course, there are the basics - like ornaments. But, we're going to help you take things a step further with some out-of-the-box ideas.
Coastal Christmas Tree
Of course, Christmas is not complete without a Christmas tree. But if you want your tree to complement the coastal theme of your home, you're going to have to get creative.
The trick is to change up the color scheme of your Christmas tree. Instead of the traditional red, green, and gold combo, choose a color palette with whites, blues, and light browns--the colors of the beach. And if you want some sparkle on your tree, simply swap your colorful Christmas lights with some single-color lights, ideally white, light yellow, or maybe even a baby blue.
Beach-Style Christmas Wreath
Aside from a Christmas tree, a traditional Christmas wreath is also a staple of holiday decor. But how can you make your wreath match your beach-style home?
Simple. Instead of the regular evergreens, create your own circular wreath with some nautical rope. Form a frame with some aluminum wire and wrap thin pieces of nautical rope around it until you have a circular, wreath-like shape.
Now comes the fun part. You can decorate your DIY wreath with seashells, sand dollars, buoy decor, or anything else that reminds you of the beach. If you need more inspiration, we have an article all about beach home decorating ideas that you should check out.
Driftwood Christmas Tree
Want a waste-free, minimalist approach for your Christmas tree? Consider building a driftwood Christmas tree from pieces of driftwood you find on the beach. The process is easy. Find a long piece of driftwood for your base, then find smaller pieces for the branches. You might not find the perfect sizes, so be prepared to bring out your saw.
Once you have your materials, affix the base to a wooden platform or a flower pot. Then, glue the smaller pieces of driftwood to the base until you achieve a pyramid shape, much like a regular Christmas tree.
You can stop here for a minimalist driftwood tree. But if you want to give your tree more charm, you can add ornaments to it, like hanging sand dollars, Christmas lights, and a star topper.
DIY Sailing-Themed Ornaments
There aren't many quality sailing-themed ornaments out there. So, why not create your own?
Achieve a whimsical coastal Christmas with some DIY ornaments. First, you have to purchase some empty, transparent ornaments. You can find a lot of these in DIY stores. Then, fill your ornaments with some sand, blue resin, a tiny sailboat--and you'll have a cute little sailing scene in each ornament!

Coastal Candle Arrangement
Complete your coastal Christmas with a DIY candle arrangement. Whether you want a nautical theme, a beach theme, or maybe a little bit of both, you have the freedom to play around with any elements you want.
Start with a base. A regular coffee table plate will do. Then, arrange some nautical candles with seashells, sand dollars, fake starfish, and perhaps even a layer of sand. This DIY idea will add light and warmth to any room; very much needed for the holiday season.
