Maybe it’s all the long days spent at the beach this summer, but we’re leaning into the wave décor trend in a major way. Playful, irreverent, and a little retro, this trend is the perfect way to freshen up a room that’s feeling drab. When searching for the perfect wavy accessory, look for bold shapes or abstract designs for a look that feels bold rather than childish. Keep other accessories minimal, and look for pieces in neutral tones, woods, or metals, instead of bright primary colors (unless you’re bringing wave details into a nursery or playroom!) Our favorite way to incorporate some subtle beach vibes into our home décor? One of these soothing wave prints from Gray’s collection. Not only will they add a soothing touch to any space, but the soft colors mean that they will blend seamlessly into any room.

The key when searching for the perfect wave addition is looking for pieces with a bold shape, like this sleek leather bench, or a modern glass coffee table, rather than a design that feels busy. We love the ‘70s-inspired feel of pieces like this dresser or wooden end table—just be sure to pair them with timeless accents and a natural textures. These fun décor details will take center stage, so give them the room to shine.

The best part of these pretty prints? They’ll add wave elements to your home without requiring a style overhaul.

Accessories
