i have a really bright pink bedroom with black furniture. im really gurly but i also LOVE the ocean. i have alot of shells in my room, shell candle holders, beach pics, and im planning on ordering a beach wall mural like this http://muralsuperstore.com/BEYONDHANNASG鈥?/a>


b.c a reagular beach mural wont look nice...but how else can i make it beach/ocean themed without changing the paint...thanks|||That mural is horrible.Don%26#039;t buy it.


People usually think blue and white for a beach feel but we can work with pink walls.


Beach themes have to do with clean lines and bright quiet colors.


Here are some ideas :http://www.linensource.com/default.aspx?鈥?/a>

Try and find a glass lamp that you can fill with sand and shells.


White furniture is always a plus. Natural wood is just as nice.|||You could try getting a wooden floor so it looks like a deck, and getting some of those giant wall stickers with shells or fish or something beach-y on them.


You could also put a sun sticker up the window and get some tropical-looking curtains, maybe with hawaiian flowers or something on them?





And get a pet fish xD|||You made an excellent choice with that mural and the colors your working with..Now it%26#039;s time to work your imagination a bit more. Some of these suggestions you can do on your own.





1. Get shells and paint them in the hot pink. Arrange them in a blue bowl. You can find amazing blue bowls at the thrift shops. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OK0g3VoCj-M/St鈥?/a>


2, While your at the thrift shop get a chandelier spray paint it the same blue as the bowl and hang seahorses from it http://flyingfishshop.com/seacritter.htm鈥?/a> (there are some great starfish and crabs on this page too )


3. While your there grab some ornate frames in different sizes...Paint them the blue also Add fantasy ocean and sea beach images to the frames. You may luck out and find a sun mirror frame. http://media.photobucket.com/image/fanta鈥?/a> You can print these out and put them in the frames. http://trash2treasure.wordpress.com/cate鈥?/a>


4. Get some gauzy fabric in blue and pink or dye it. You need about 8 yards of each for your window and your bed. Hang it in back of your bed and over the window.


5. Salt lamps are beautiful http://www.himalayansaltsupply.com/Home.鈥?/a>


6. Get a garden sculpture ...Thier all over the stores now..Gnomes and fairys. Some are solor lights http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.鈥?/a>





But as you see there are so many things you can do to pull this together even with your colors. Have fun with it!!
