If your water view home is blessed with large, picturesque windows, install a privacy film over the glass in lieu of traditional window treatments. When professionally done, these provide unobstructed views of the water while keeping the interior of your home hidden from the outside. Your best ode to the water is seeing the water itself, and traditional “water” decor pieces can look brash in large quantities. Instead, take inspiration from these ideas: Use the pearly shades of a shell as a color scheme for the fabrics in the room, the texture of the sand as an inspiration for the fabric used for window treatments or the different colors that the water appears, from light green to a deep gray, for your paint colors.
