Whether you have a holiday home or just want to infuse beach house style into where you live, you can use these items to bring a bit of sunshine into your decorating scheme.  I like my beach house to be rustic and casual, yet colourful and glamorous.  The inspiration for this mood board was the fantastic mirror from Oz Design.  I've paired it with a driftwood floor lamp, shell based smaller lamp and casual beach friendly furniture such as the linen sofa and crate side table.  Beach houses are fun, so I've added some playful striped wall sconces.

Perfect Pinks

Channel your inner girly girl and inject a little playful pink into your scheme.  Whether you aim for subtly with a dusty light pink or scream it with a red hot fuchsia, there is a pink to suit your mood.  Pink is a strong colour, so unless you want to feel like you've come home to Barbie's boudoir, use it as an accent colour.  It's so versatile and can been teamed with just about any colour.
