These coastal home decor items from IKEA look expensive, yet are much more affordable.

If you want to decorate your home in a coastal or beach style without a high price tag, you’ll be interested to see these coastal home finds at IKEA that can pass as more expensive decor. They’re a great way to elevate your home, beach house, or coastal cottage and can easily be mixed with higher-end items to create the fresh, relaxing coastal look you love.

Coastal decor brings in the best of the seashore, with blues, turquoises and greens mixed with white and light neutral colors, natural textiles and textures. You can elevate the look of your space by incorporating all of these elements into your home. It has a bright, airy, and cozy feel that makes you instantly feel relaxed and connected to nature.

One thing about shopping at IKEA is that some of their styles have been around for so long that they’re super recognizable, for better or worse. But the coastal home decor items on this list don’t fall into that category, with many of them passing as dupes for similar, yet much more expensive items from other popular retailers.

Here I’ve created the ultimate list of the best coastal and beach home decor items at IKEA, including the best coastal mirrors, coastal living room decor, coastal decor for decorating your bookshelf, coastal-style throw pillows and throw blankets, coastal lamps, coastal pendant lights, indoor plant pots so you can add some greenery to your home, storage and organization items that won’t look out of place in your coastal home, coastal indoor and outdoor rugs, the best coastal dinnerware, kitchen, and pantry items, beach bathroom decor, and the best indoor and outdoor coastal furniture.
