How to Decorate a Cheap Surf Bungalow-Themed Master Bedroom
- 1). Paint the walls white or beige to create a clean backdrop for your surf bungalow. Pristine white channels the shabby-chic beach house look, while a sand color brings a warmer tone to the room.
- 2). Give worn wooden furniture new life with a quick coat of paint. Once the paint is dry, sand it down on the edges and corners until you get a peek of what’s underneath again. Painting all your pieces in a single color gives you the look of a matched furniture set without the hefty price tag. The distressed details are perfect for a beach bungalow.
- 3). Decorate the walls with natural pieces from the beach. If you live near the coast, you can collect these items yourself for free. Mount smooth driftwood on the wall. Arrange seashells and other beach debris in a shadow box. Take some good shots of surfers hitting the waves and print enlargements for additional wall decor. If you happen to own a surfboard, be sure to mount it on the wall for the ultimate in surf shack decor.
- 4). Gather mismatched bedding in a well-defined color palette for a comfortably casual bungalow look. Shades of blue and green evoke images of the ocean. Reds and oranges bring to mind vivid coastal sunsets. Hit up garage sales and thrift stores to build your bedding collection without breaking the bank.
- 5). Use cheap grass hula skirts for window hangings. Hang the skirt straight across the top of the window. Trim the grass in the middle for a mock valance, or separate the grass in the middle and pull the sides over to a tieback on either side of the window.
