As our family has recently moved, I am decorating my new room in an ocean theme. We had taken a trip to California last fall and I fell in love with the ocean (even more so than I had every other time I had been out there.) We drove up the PCH (Pacific Coastal Highway), through Malibu and many other breathtaking places. When we reached our destination, my fondest memories are just of us sitting on the beach watching the waves crash onto shore. That is what I am going to attempt to recreate in my room, but I am still looking for ideas from others who have done this. Most other rooms I've seen have either underwater ocean themes (mostly kids rooms), or they do an ocean themed room with just solid wall colors. I want to create an ocean-like experience on at least one wall. You can usually pick up ocean-like nicknacks at garage sales or thrift stores.
My advice: Pick out a favorite place, whether it's an ocean or in the heart of New York City, and if you have large enough walls, there are usually wall-murals you can buy. (I had one in my old room.) That way when you enter your room, you feel as if you are in your favorite place.

Beach Theme Decorating?
Agent 007
I always get depressed around wintertime. So, Ive started to redecorate my bedroom like one you would find in a beach house. Specifically, these are the rooms I'm trying to imitate, on opposite sides of the same vacation beach house:
http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z415/obxbeachgoer/blueroom.jpg The master BR, looking out over the beach. Decorations were minimal because the main focal point is the beach outside the window, which I obviously do not have in my home.
http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z415/obxbeachgoer/bluestreetside.jpg Another blue room facing the street. Again, minimal decorations, no candles/fragrances, and lots of air conditioning.
How can I get the look of these rooms without any major renovations/ furniture changes?
Answer
You need to stick to a beach theme color palette. Think of sea glass. http://quovadisblog.com/2009/01/13/sea-glass/
Use these colors coupled with a sand tone on the floor and windows. Add elements like bamboo or straw shades. Soft sea glass in a large hurricane vase with a star fish. Make a sand castle from plaster of paris and put sand on it. http://www.myweddingfavors.com/castle-centerpiece.html
For fabric on the windows and for a decorative pillow and throw think Burlap it adds a wonderful tactile feeling to the room and keeps with the natural coloring. The material is very important http://thelennoxx.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/potterybarn.jpg
Frames painted in your secondary color with over sized mats in your neutral and shadow boxed beach items such as coral, cattail, reeds. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwkC4xvaVuQvcWyVn4uvlI0yRLQkNkwAohIV8tBhNaKASN7ihM-yWpW_W07eZ_T3aVBH5I5EUj1f_vlKCbUa4nsx_anjLayPBmGsICor3FF_WKoEBNh6WR1AxQwXDEGeYDGB84hpyWPlU/s400/playroom-kids-wall-art.jpg
The room should "feel" soft and subtle http://lh5.ggpht.com/_t8-Y4w1UKrc/TJ2ZGZjCMgI/AAAAAAAA43I/4Nsezx7KeT4/image_thumb%5B26%5D.png?imgmax=800
And have a touch of vintage shabby to it. http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/images/bedroom4-de.jpg
