Bringing the beach to your home: 10 imaginative ideas for creating a beach corner in your garden

Golden sands, an umbrella, a sun lounger. Add music, books, or games to play: these are the foundation elements you need to enjoy yourself at the beach. But why wait to go to the beach to experience this atmosphere? If you have some space in the garden, you might think about building your own little beach!

It is really about preparing a portion of the garden to be covered with sand, and then furnished accordingly. It will become a place to relax for adults, and a dream playground for children. Check out the ideas below:

A wooden sofa, lights and a coffee table: it doesn't take much to create a living room in which to spend unforgettable summer evenings, evoking the unique atmosphere of the beach.

And having space and a bit of imagination, you can consider doing some sandscaping (ie. redesigning an entire area of the garden in order to cover it in sand. For decoration perhaps add some plants, stone borders and more.

Even nautical rope light wood (mimicking driftwood), sand and pebbles  can create a beach-like atmosphere. And maybe can put up a wooden shed that will look like a beach cabin...

These areas can also be thought of as "sandpits for adults", with space made for loungers and a firepit.

Often, having a firepit like this one, is just what is needed to pass a pleasant evening with friends.

Boat hulls can also be used to decorate the area, and even help to light up the night.

Umbrellas or sails? Just remember that your faux beach will also need some shade!

And of course, your "sandpit in the garden" can be set used by the kids to play in!

In fact, children from all over the world love to play in sand - by themselves or with their friends!

There are literally a thousand ways to create a sandbox that will keep your kids happy (and that decorates your garden attractively at the same time).
