12 Seaside-Inspired Decor Ideas To Curb Your Beach Craving
Look, I get it — you want to be at the beach but your pesky job keeps getting in the way. So annoying. Who would want to be stuck in a cubicle during a time like this? Summer is for beachy waves and iced coffee, not Excel spreadsheets and business casual attire. I want to be getting a sunburn and reading up a storm by the salty ocean, and staying in the city feels like a serious struggle.
There is only one solution at a time like this. If you can't get to the beach, you have to bring the beach to you. I gathered up some awesome nautical-inspired decor for your home, office, or home office to curb your beach craving until you can make it to the ocean for real.
