In my lounge or living room I like a seaside style. I put seaside stripe covers over my armchairs. I took a chair out of my bedroom and put it next to my home phone. I added a cushion with a ship design.

I also enjoy designing our home and most is DIY. I watch youtube video to have an idead of what else to do with what I have. And just add some personal touch to it.

I think you do well to get ideas on You Tube and then add a personal touch. One lady painted plain white tiles with a seaside image.

that place that you just presented virtually is a nice area for receiving phone calls, much more if it is situated near a window.

Yes, I like having my phone next to my window so I can look outside. Today is a windy day.

It sounds very hot where you live right now. Last week the weather in England was very hot and none of us have air conditioning,

I think assembling the furniture by yourself can already save a lot

Ikea sells cheap furniture which you can built yourself.

@youless I like the Ikea designs and prefer solid wood. Sometimes they paint this white which looks quite coastal.

April thanks for all these ideas. I know we are flying home on Norwegian and they allow up to 10kg each.

Adding a do-it-yourself touch not only provides that personal touch but can save you money.

One lady bought plain white titles and painted seaside pictures on them. She was excellent at drawing.

@maximax8 That's a great decorating idea. I know finding items at flea markets can be another source for decorations.

Thank you. When I moved here in 2010 I put up with magnolia paint in each room.

@brokekid0212 Magnolia is a cream colour like an off white.

One can make some new arrangements and decorations in the house without spending much on it, If one is so creative, he can recycle old furniture and convert them into another nice looking furniture. The use of curtains that compliments the furniture can greatly enhance a drab room.

The best thing to do is to add a couple of more things that have a sea kind of theme. If you like sometimes with themes like this a nice touch is added by a small goldfish bowl.

A seaside theme looks every so pretty. I bought some coastal stripe curtains in a sale.
