Subtle accessories can easily create a barefoot holiday feel.
You might pair a rattan headboard with a driftwood side table, or display whitewash photo frames and a bamboo lamp on an old wooden chest bursting with treasures. Thrift shops can attract dated nautical décor, so steer clear of obvious anchor accessories and ship wheel décor while rummaging.
Decorative nautical rope, glass fishing floats, and vintage signs provide knowing nods to island life without falling into cliché, so put down the seashell décor and seek out an old boat shelf, ready to be filled with whitewash photo frames, or look for a brass porthole mirror to prop against a bamboo table. Knowing what not to pick up is half the battle.
