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.

Yellow is the colour of the moment in the design world and whats not to like about this delicious hue?  It's fresh, warming and glamorous.  From light lemon infusions to bold golden tones, yellow can be used as a total scheme or as an accent colour.  Team it with navy or black for a bold statement or use it with light neutrals for a more subtle effect.
