Here are some lake house decor ideas to incorporate the beauty of nature around you!

Beige and Blue Color Palette

Gone are the days when lake houses used to look woodsy and dark – sometimes a little kitschy. Some folks like to give their homes a rustic charm, but you can still go for a modern look. Why not give your lake house a sophisticated look with a beige and blue color palette? Both are complementary colors, so your palettes will have a beach vibe all year. Beige is a cool undertone – you can pair it with blue for a calming effect.

Blue and White Striped Rugs

The blue and white color rags are perfect for your lake house. Who doesn’t love these colors on a beach? If you want to add the luxury of touch, you should combine it with blue and white stripes. Choose rugs that are easy to clean and those that will leave you feeling at ease. In addition, you should select a fabric that blends with your furniture. This is a great foundation for any beach house furniture – your lake home will feel like a cozy coastal getaway!

Kayak Paddles & Oars on the Wall

You can channel those relaxing and chilled-out days by hanging kayak paddles and oars on the wall. It’s the perfect way to add some accents to your lake house decor. First, you need to find an appropriate space to add a design element. With a little bit of planning, you can place the oars diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. But again, you must get the lengths right to fit the wall.

You can begin playing with the angles to ensure the paddles look their best. One trick is to form the letter `X’. Alternatively, you can put oars parallel to each other such that the handle is next to the head. Still, you can purchase an oar rack to suit your design.

Rustic Wood Everywhere

You can give your lake house view a rustic woodsy feel. For instance, the natural beauty of oak is a classy way to keep everything organized. Mixing the natural textures of wood with deep brown colors creates a fuzzy glow. What better way to enjoy an incredible lakeside view than with rustic wood furniture? A mix of rustic elements creates an inviting and comfortable space.
