Your front door, table top, wall or fireplace mantel focal point are all great places to showcase a coastal inspired wreath. You can purchase a wreath that suits your style and color scheme, or try some of our do-it-yourself (DIY) suggestions using a variety of sea shells, driftwood, sea glass, or coral. This welcoming accent piece using seashore finds will add beachy charm to your home.
Nautical Pastels Wreath
Penny from Penny’s Vintage Home shares her love of pastels in this stunning Nautical Wreath. If your decorating style is like Penny’s — a mix of romance, country, and cottage — you’ll adore this soothing and tranquil wreath she made as a sweet surprise for house guests.
Grapevine Sea Shell Wreath
Inspired by Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s classic, A Gift From the Sea, blogger Sherry of thecharmofhome “thought the asymmetrical shape to the wreath looked like the waves washing the shells.” The beauty of this Grapevine Sea Shell Wreath lies in its simple design. You can find a grapevine wreath and twigs at craft stores like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. This is a great idea beach chic design lovers.
“In this inimitable classic—graceful, lucid, and lyrical—Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age, love and marriage, peace, solitude, and contentment during a brief vacation by the sea.”
Driftwood Wreath
Heather from newhousenewhomenewlife loved a Driftwood Wreath she saw in a home accessories catalog but not the price tag. The sticker shock inspired her own creation. Gather driftwood from the seashore (or you can purchase a bag full inexpensively at a craft store), a floral craft ring and your trusty hot glue gun. In short time you can achieve amazing and beautiful results to rival a similar find in a high-end catalog for a fraction of the cost. Check out Heather’s simple DIY Driftwood Wreath Instructions.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Driftwood (BUY or FREE from the Seashore)
Wreath Form (ROUND or try a SQUARE form)
Hot Glue Gun
Glue Sticks
(Seriously, that’s it!)
Rustic Coastal Wreath
Create this easy breezy wreath with beach finds of driftwood pieces and sea shells. Spray paint a few of the shells in color to match your decor. This Rustic Coastal Wreath from wohnideeidee finishes the wreath with roping that is both true to the coastal style and practical for hanging.
Heart-Shaped Wreath in Blues

Calm and cool beachy blue is the theme of this wreath! Using a wood or wire heart-shaped frame hot glue your latest beach combing treasures into a sweet wall decor. Paint a few of the sea shells in a light blue (or your favorite color) and place them around the form evenly for an eye-pleasing design.
Sea Glass Wreath
As an avid beachcomber, one of my most cherished coastal decorations is a jar full of beach glass in assorted colors. Now I know what to do with of all that glass! Cathy of findseaglass is a masterful collector who finds and researches sea glass. Her website is dedicated to all things beach glass, including how-to instructions for making this Sea Glass Wreath. She suggests you “use different size sea glass shards for the best aesthetics.”
Neutral Palette Wreath
Beige is not boring! It’s relaxing, like a stroll down the beach. The neutral palette of this wreath complements any color wall or front door. To make one, start with a grapevine wreath form, a few shells, moss, rope and finish it off with a wide piece of burlap tied into a loose bow. And exhale…
If you plan to create your own coastal inspired wreath, a few assorted sea shells, driftwood, beach glass and a simple wreath frame are all you need. I’ve seen inexpensive bags of faux sea glass and have purchased wreath forms, including grapevine and wire, at Joann Fabric.
Add a unique and customized look to your creation with other objects hanging around the house — colorful fishing line, starfish, netting, sea shells collected from a vacation. We hope these wreath ideas will inspire you to return to the beach!
