Who doesn't love the relaxing vibes of the beach? No matter if you're on the coast or landlocked, beach-themed decor is always in style—especially on your front porch! Here are some fun items to help create your coastal oasis.

Tropical Foliage

Palm trees, hibiscus bushes, birds of paradise—all of the breezy, warm-weather plants! You can't go wrong with classic palms, but you'll likely have to settle for artificial varieties if you live in cooler climates.

Laid-Back Seating

Sit down, kick off your shoes and stay a while. No one is in a hurry at the beach, so invite your friends to enjoy a cocktail or two on your casual outdoor furniture.

Pillows + Cushions

This is where you can let your personality shine! Are you more into beachy puns, preppy stripes or peaceful sea creatures?
