Wall coverings: get creative with your wall covering and hang large maritime maps or vintage poster with an ocean theme. The décor will really make any room pop with a cool and breezy feel.
Mix colors: mix whites and other bold ocean inspired colors with your décor. You might not be able to paint in your unit, but you can repaint old chairs, book shelfs or coffee tables.
Ocean centerpiece: grab shells, sand and other beach inspired items to make an ocean themed centerpiece that you can place on a side table or your actual kitchen table.
