Design Direction: How to Bring Beach Club Vibes to Your Own Backyard

byTeam GM

5 years ago

We may not be able to spend 24/7 lounging oceanside at a beach club, but there’s no reason we can’t bring that same style to our backyards. And with summer right around the corner (!!!) there’s no time like the present to do just that. So if you’re looking for a little outdoor décor inspiration, you’ve come to the right place! It just takes a few tasteful tweaks to turn your yard into a gorgeous escape… and the best part? This club is members only—so you and your loved ones get to relax in the shade all by yourselves. Keep reading to see what you need to transform your yard into your very own beach club…

SEATING

  1. Chaise Lounge | 2. Director’s Chairs | 3. Round Pouf| 4. Bistro Chair | 5. Dining Chairs | 6. Hammock

Without a doubt, the most important part of your backyard escape is having a comfortable yet stylish place to lounge. We love keeping the theme cohesive with blue and neutral colors for a serene, ocean-inspired look. Mix things up with a variety of seating options, from sturdy chairs gathered around an outdoor dining table to a hammock for lazy days to round poufs to pull up when having friends over.

TABLES

  1. Side Table | 2. Garden Stool | 3. Mosaic Tiled Outdoor Coffee Table| 4. Magic Cube Concrete Stool | 5. Pebble Outdoor Coffee Table | 6. Outdoor Bar Cart

No matter your décor style, a sleek bar cart is essential for outdoor entertaining. Design Tip: An elegant neutral option will blend into the background while providing easy access for poolside cocktails. Since this escape might just become your new favorite (outdoor) room in your home, having plenty of tables is key. We love the idea of low tables, like these ones above, scattered around for nights when you want to entertain.

ACCESSORIES

  1. Bolster Pillow | 2. Ottoman | 3. Umbrella| 4. Pendant Lamp | 5. Striped Pillow | 6. Stiped Pillow | 7. Outdoor Rug

Finally, accessories are the key that will tie your personal beach club together. Opt for nautical touches like bold stripes and rattan accents, and make sure to keep durability in mind, as these pieces will need to withstand the weather. Don’t be afraid to add a splash of color every now and then, too! And of course, no beach club is complete without some (stylish) shade in the form of swoon-worthy outdoor umbrellas
