Beach Bedroom Lighting Materials and Elements
When choosing lighting for a beach themed bedroom, consider materials and elements that make you think about the sea. Here are some ideas and guidelines to consider.
Lighting Colors: Use hues that are inspired by the sand and sea like natural beige, coral, soft white, crisp white, turquoise, OR you can always stick with the traditional beach colors red, white and nautical blue.
Set of two, swirling shades of blue, bedside lamps. The faux blue and white bases with a crisp white lamp shade makes this set a perfect addition to your coastal bedroom lighting.
Beachy lampshades: Beach lampshades with beach-inspired designs, such as stripes, anchors, shells, seagulls, or even just a beachy color, works well.
We hit it out of the park on this seaside style lamp. Here you have both a sea grass lampshade as well as a mother of pearl mosaic encrusted base that evokes feeling of seashells.
Natural materials: For a warm, organic vibe that is ideal for a beach-themed bedroom, use materials like wood, wicker, rattan, and bamboo.
This Bamboo Table Lamp is a good choice for your beach theme bedroom lighting when you’re going for ambience. It’s a handmade, natural wooden lamp with a retro style.
Nautical accent: When you add traditional coastal themed coral, shells and ropes into your lighting it will give your bedroom a hint of the ocean.
See what I mean? This beach themed pendant light (perfect for over your night stand) has metal and hemp rope to give your coastal bedroom a distinct nautical style. It’s OK to get creative with the style of lighting you use. Meaning you don’t have to sit a lamp on your nite stand just because it’s expected.

Moving right along with beachy bedroom lighting ideas.
Table Lamps for Beach Theme Bedrooms
Table lamps are a great way to bring a soft light to your beach-inspired bedroom. Look for table lamps with natural materials like wood, bamboo, jute, rattan, and wicker work. You can also pick light shades in coastal colors like soft natural hues or rich vibrant teals and corals. Or go for the tried and true red, white and blue. Glass is also gorgeous. If you’re really adventurous you can fill the glass lamp base with seashells or sand.
Floor Lamps for a Beachy Bedroom
Floor lamps can also be used to bring a beach-inspired feel to a bedroom. Look for lamps with a coastal feel that have a natural material base like wood, bamboo or rattan.
Wall sconces for coastal bedrooms
You can find fun wall sconces with a beach-inspired theme, such as shells, starfish, anchor, or sand dollar motifs. Or you can lean more towards color to keep sconces beach themed like white, cream, or light blue/coral/teal.
String lights for a beach themed bedroom
My daughter loves to string lights strategically thru her house. I have to admit they add ambience. With your beach theme bedroom lighting, you can go for fun here, looking for seaside elements like mermaids, seashells, starfish, even fishing floats! Needless to say I went a little crazy finding string lights for a beach theme bedroom!
Whowee there is quite an assortment of Coastal String Lights with this company. They have Seaglass, Dolphins, Sand Dollars and Seashells, Tropical Fish, and dainty Seashell string lights.
That wraps up Beach Bedroom Lighting Guide. I hope you found it useful. The right lighting can make all the difference. Remember you don’t have to go over the top and mix all the elements… rope-wrapped pendants, driftwood lamps, and ocean-blue glass fixtures. You can do a hint here and there or just a couple of coastal styles. Then the whole picture comes together for the seaside vibe you’re looking for.
