Faux Flowers in a clear glass vase: On top of these faux books, place a clear vase with lifelike faux calla lilies, for example, that adds a bit of nature to the mix and doesn’t need maintenance.

A white wooden box and Coastal Decor: A small white box (if it’s discontinued, here’s an alternative) keeps your keys and coins tidy. And to make things even more interesting, we’ve included a delightful fish sculpture. It’s coastal, right?

A classy Golden Mirror: A stylish rectangular gold frame mirror graces the wall above the console table, completing the coastal chic look. You can replace the mirror with one large coastal picture or gallery wall in a golden frame, just ensure that the chosen artwork or composition is larger than half the length of the console but not exceeding 2/3 of it.

Three Baskets: Under the console table, add three coastal blue and white rope baskets to store beach towels and other beach gear.
