The Console Itself
Change or renovate your console for your beach home or to add a beach feel to your usual space. the most popular idea is a whitewashed wooden console, just change the existing one using some DIYs on whitewashing and distressing. You may also try bolder sea-inspired colors – turquoise, aqua, various shades of blue and distress the piece again for a worn look. If you have a unique rough wooden piece at hand, use it as a console table, it will make a statement itself.
