Seagrass would be pretty. Are those pine headboard and dressers? I think of beachy as blues, sand, greys, navy. Pine is a wood that would compliment that theme as is rattan and wicker. Not sure what your paint color is, consider painting a crisp white so that your blue has more impact.

You are spot on with the seagrass choice. Adding texture will definitely make it pop against the wall as well. Just make sure that the tone is close to your nightstand and that it is a bit taller and wider than what you have pictured especially if you plan to keep the pillows propped up like so.

Thanks for the advice! Yes, they are pine night stands - haven't decided if they are staying or going. The wall is in the beige family. We will ultimately put in board and batten wainscoting which will be painted white. Baby steps. Appreciate the help!

Board and batten will make a huge impact. I love the pine, it's warmth and soft look and feel it fits well with your theme. Headboard as well. imo

I do not have an eye for these things, which is why I am here. Houzz is a wonderful resource though and when I realized today that I could ask for help - that was huge. Thank you for the feedback.

Keeping us updated makes it fun!

This is the headboard we are considering...it's from Pier 1. Is the color okay or do you think we should go darker?

This looks great to me. How tall is it? How far up the wall behind the bed will it go?

It looks like the color "sand" which is all in the beach theme. Lighter is better. I think layers of white plus the colors of sand, sky, water.

The seagrass headboard is 50 inches tall, about the same height as the tallest point of my current headboard. Still going to need to find that perfect piece of art to place above it!

Consider three objects centered above headboard. Beach related

It's a pretty headboard but I'd consider going darker. I don't think the lighter color will stand up well next to your wall color. If you're going to add board and batten though, it should work nicely.

Your first inclination for the dark headboard is a better direction. Wish your drapery panels were longer.

Thank you for all of the feedback...I will post photos when we've made a decision and have the new headboard in place. About the drapes...are you suggesting they be hung closer to the ceiling? A friend told me the same thing...they hit the floor now - not sure they are long enough to go up any higher.

The darker one would have more impact on your wall, so if you want a strong focal point I'd go with the dark. If you want the room to feel very cohesive and light, the lighter headboard would begin to pull aspects of this space together.

Wanted to share with you pictures with the new headboard. It is darker than it looked in the picture I posted before, so I think it ended up being a great choice. Board and batten should go up in next couple of months and still trying to decide on an art piece. Have found several, just need to make a decision. Obviously having issues with the pillows, so suggestions are welcome.

Thanks again for all the feedback and help!

Taller would make a bigger impact. You can barely see your new headboard.

Love the new headboard. As to its height, just stack the bed pillows instead of propping them to reveal more headboard. That room would look gorgeous in an off white or creamy colored paint. Maybe after board and batten is up.

It coordinates really well with your nightstands!
