There’s this dream we all have of living at the beach, with the sounds of the ocean and smell of the salt water around us 24/7. But there are some major flaws with this fantasy. For example, I am pretty sure it is illegal to loiter in a public place. And secondly, sand.
And just because we can’t (and shouldn’t) actually live at the beach, doesn’t mean we can’t infuse some of the natural elements we love most about this location into our own living spaces.
Check out these seven ways to bring the beach vibes into your dorm or apartment (minus the sand).
